What do you want in webOS 2.0?
- Background Services in Javascript: Currently, webOS does their background services in Java, but they're switching to Javascript for a few reasons - they can parse it faster and it is a better fit for their web-centric philosophy
- db8 Databases and Sync: webOS will soon start storing its data in a database called 'db8.' What does that mean to you? It means that it's faster to store and access data and, more importantly, it's built from the ground-up for wireless syncing with databases in the cloud. This should make everything that's connected to Syngery - from email to contacts to calendar - faster and more elegantly connected to the cloud
- Speed: The two things above add up to the most important thing that Palm detailed back in April at Dev Day: Speed. Those back-end improvements that should speed up the OS quite a bit, but there are also improvements coming in their HTML5 rendering - which will speed up everything since this is, you know, webOS. Hardware-accelerated CSS transformations and animations are on the dockett.
- APIs for Developers: Microphone, media, bluetooth, bonjour, and more all en route.
- Better Google Integration: We're not talking Android-class integration here, but the quality of the gmail and google maps experience on webOS leaves much to be desired. If the excellent BFGMaps app has taught us anything, it's that getting googlemaps improved on webOS is more than possible.
- Virtual Keyboard: Because it's time, folks
- Printing to HP printers directly over Bluetooth or WiFi: Hey, you know it's coming, they may as well bring it now.
- Proper document editing: Whether Palm makes an office suite themselves or helps a third party do it, it has to come and soon. We saw a QuickOffice icon on the Chinese Palm Pre last month and we're also still holding out hope that DataViz still plans to bring DocsToGo to the platform.
- Flash: Yeah, we hope we don't have to wait until webOS 2.0, but if it's not here by then, it's a problem.
- Mojo Messaging Service / Push: Palm needs a push solution and right quick. It will bring battery improvements, improve notifications for developers, and generally get them on par with BlackBerry and iPhone. Palm said it was coming, it's time to get it done. Bonus: we could actually leave IM on and connected if this happened.
- Improved Social Network Synergy: Palm led the way with Synergy, but everybody else has caught up. Other platforms deeply integrate both Twitter and Facebook into their entire OS, from contacts to apps. We should be able to go to a contact on webOS and see their most recent notifications and, yes, even see their most recent notification when they call. Palm already has the groundwork laid for this in Synergy, it's time to expand it and make it best-of-class again. (Oh, and please give us the option to filter which contacts we sync over, kthxbye!)
- Improved Multimedia: Now that the iTunes sync experiment is a distant memory, it's time for Palm to improve both the media sync and media experience on webOS. HP bought a music streaming company, we'd love to see that on webOS. Heck, we'd settle for an improved music app, video and picture gallery, and a much-improved camera app.
- Improved Palm Profile management: When the tablets, printers, slates, and toasters running webOS come, we're going to need to get our apps and data on multiple devices with minimal hassle.

，文化不同，要表达出来蛮吃力的。真希望本地牛人加入HP团队，真正为中文系统在WEBOS做到彻底。
