Up until now, there is no word from HP CEO that webOS will continue, therefore, all my friends and strong supporters of webOS, please head out to webOS Survival Kit. You will never know when you need it, so please start cracking it.

This coming Saturday, Auckland will have its 1st webOS Community Meet-up. Yes, everyone is asking what is the purpose of this meet-up? TouchPad was launched in New Zealand 2 days before Leo write-off webOS. Honestly, this is a ridiculous action. Yes, it did make an impact but uncertainty will kill the market. Meg has taken over now as CEO of HP, and I am hoping that this action will be reversed. Even if Meg's intention is to sell it off, who will buy a product that they themselves are not supporting. What more when there isn't a demand for it. During the fire-sales, people has tried webOS and honestly, a lot of people has given their feedback that they love the webOS. So, please do come along this Saturday (November 12 @ 3pm - 5pm) and we will have a good time catching up on the webOS in Wagamama restaurant, Sylvia Park, Auckland. If we have more than 25 person, HP NZ will donate a TouchPad and the lucky person will definitely walk away with it.

This slogan from HP seems cool and it matches me going big, small and beyond. For the next few weeks, I am going to document the process of registering a small business to sell apps for smartphones. This can be Windows 8, webOS and other smartphones OS. According to HP, I will need to complete W-8BEN form which will allow me to sell apps in the US. You can find this form in IRS US. You can have a read at the instruction of filling up the form here. If this didn't work, I may call IRS US at +1-267-9411099.

After getting 2458 downloads for the 1st version of Where Am I , I have moved on to create a new version - Where Am I 2 .
