[Palm WebOS] GoogyOS

So, it's finally time for me to show off my app to the PreCentral community. This was originally an iPhone app that I had been working on for about a year & I challenged myself to see if I could port it to WebOS.

A little backstory, I was getting annoyed of having dozens of google homepage bookmarks on my iPod Touch so, I created a launcher for all of Google's Mobile Web apps

so, without further adu, I present:

GoogyOS Version 1.1.7 - 8/9/09



Some things I added:
*included the new mobile website
*Added the new update dialog (like the one in the RSS sample app
*fixed some of the bugs grayed out below
*Some code cleanup & added a direct link to GoogyOS' help page
*Added a donate link to the menu. Trying it out for now. Opinions/ideas of it are welcome

A couple of things to fix though:
Some mobile Versions not displaying iPhone/Android version (way to spoof iPhone Safari useragent?):
*Books (screen flashes & then goes white)
*Notebook (shows standard page)
*Orkut (shows standard page)
*Picasa Web Albums (shows standard page)
*Sync (shows standard page)
*Wave (shows standard page)

*Earth & Mobile app just added for completeness for now, they don't have any functionality.
*Need to fix "full version" page link on the mobile version (jack87)
*help menu loads blank help page before loading url (jack87)
*Some links give an error of "Unable to load page". Just hit reload & it should work. Not really sure why that happens. Doesn't happen all the time.

Future things I'm going to add:
*Need a better name, with nothing "Google" in it (Darknight)
*Center icon titles (pyrognome)
*help menu with topics to choose from
*new features message (similar to the RSS sample app) thanks to Arcticus


Very future things to add:
*Add something to or delete Mobile App (acculver)
*Move bookmarks around? (even possible with WebOS?) (pyrognome)
*Move/reorder icons/buttons around JohnnyPre
*Add glossy look to the icons/backgrounds, move icons around, custom backgrounds (Dtom2444)
*Naming the google cards? (Vyruz Reaper)
*Add support for Google App domains? (JoshMend)
