    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)

    Feel free to post comments/ suggestions here or PM me.
