Earlier this month, on August 9th, Verizon and Google held a joint press conference o discuss net neutrality, an issue that’s becoming more and more pressing.

GDial Pro was one of the best Google Voice applications for Palm’s WebOS.  Last week, Google updated their Google Voice APIs, rendering Palm’s Mojo framework (Palm’s SDK) unable to support further Google Voice applications.  As many of you know, WebOS  is a skin on top of the oh-so-powerful Linux, but WebOS is actually an extremely modified WebKit browser, [...]
