After months of waiting to see the fate of WebOS, HP has finally made a decision that was unexpected but extremely welcome. Making WebOS open source will definitely give this amazing OS a new lease on life and make it a true competitor to iOS and Android. As a touchpad user, I can’t wait to see how the developer community will push this OS.

Here’s the post from HP: http://developer.palm.com/blog/2011/12/open-source/

Finally, after what felt like ages we finally got our app approved in the app store by Apple (iTunes Link). It has indeed been a learning experience but it was so worth it in the end. The mumbaikar.com app is really the first stepping stone to getting everything of Mumbai mapped. With location aware functionalities we hope that this app will make it easier for the citizens to get information while on the go.

Check out Imthi’s blog article on the flip media website about the whole development process and all the pains it took to learn a whole new platform. Hopefully it will inspire you to write your own app too.
