I'm using the demo on the YouOS website to access Cable Forum via the YouBrowser to create this thread - neat, eh?

clever, but does seem rather pointless. in a day and age where storage is small and very cheap, those important files can be put on a keyfob and off you go.... that really would be the only reason for this webOS.

wow this awsome, although it has got the big brother theme of sitting in a house watching people sitting in a house

For now, we support inbound text messages. By entering your mobile phone number, you can send text messages to the email address of the app.

For example, the sticky application for notes has an app_mobile_name set to "s". So, if you've registered your mobile number in your account page, sending a text message to s@youos.com will look at your caller id and create a sticky with the message body the next time you log on! Or, if you're logged on, a sticky *should* magically appear.

We plan on extending mobile integration like this much further in the future. The above is just a baby step - any app developer can set an app_mobile_name and have their app do what sticky does.
