This site is for collecting information about the inner workings of webOS, which powers everybody (else)'s favorite smart phone, the Palm Pre. If you add information which you did not discover yourself, please try to give credit to the original researcher. Also, please do not add information that has not been confirmed. This is meant to be a collection of facts, and our site is growing quickly, so organization may sometimes be lacking. Feel free to check out [[[system:list-all-pages | all of the pages on this wiki]]]!
Disclaimer: Enacting any set of instructions from this site is very likely to void your warranty. Use any information from this site at your own risk. At the very least, you should be prepared to lose all data on your phone at any time.
