It’s always been possible to run webOS on a PC using the emulator built into Palm’s SDK, but it turns out that the OS image used for the emulator can actually be installed on an IDE hard drive and booted from — which is exactly what one enterprising member of the PreCentral forums did with his Dell C600 laptop.

Filed under: Software , Nokia , Linux It’s one thing to read a product preview here and there, but if you really want the Maemo 5 experience before you’re even able to set foot in a store and buy an N900 , look no further than mobile-review ‘s characteristically exhaustive look at the platform. From the endless array of screenshots, you quickly get the impression that this is an attractive shell — evolutionary and familiar for owners of the 770, N800, or N810, yes, but significantly freshened nonetheless.

I’m happy to announce we’ve released a new version of the SDK and it’s now available for download.

Sure, you’ve downloaded the SDK and perhaps even gotten yourself Linux access (aka rooting), but that’s so yesterday.
