This slogan from HP seems cool and it matches me going big, small and beyond. For the next few weeks, I am going to document the process of registering a small business to sell apps for smartphones. This can be Windows 8, webOS and other smartphones OS. According to HP, I will need to complete W-8BEN form which will allow me to sell apps in the US. You can find this form in IRS US. You can have a read at the instruction of filling up the form here. If this didn't work, I may call IRS US at +1-267-9411099.

After getting 2458 downloads for the 1st version of Where Am I , I have moved on to create a new version - Where Am I 2 .

After the announcement by the HP CEO and all the fire-sales of TouchPad, its sales has broken the eCommerce record of the UK Market. People, use it and you will love it. Have a look at webOS. Give webOS a chance as it is only 1 year and 2 months under HP.

Good one for the New Zealand market, should do this competition earlier, i.e. before TouchPad arrives. If you are interested and in the varsity, please visit Cyclone

Since no one came to my help (unfortunately), I have doctored Pre 2 from 2.0.0. Why? 2.1.0 contains a bug whereby the HP Apps Catalog is not the entirely the correct version as after doctoring it, my Pre 2 is asked to download the HP Apps Catalog as it was using Palm logo. After thinking through, I put it back to 2.0.0. Created a new profile as my original (plus others created for this experiment) didn't work. Then sign-in with the new profile and it works. HP Apps Catalog is working once again. The only issue is my backup is not working. Anyway, will leave it for now until Pre 3 arrives in New Zealand.

Looks like my attempt to restore my Profile is not possible and will have to press on with the Device Options in webOS Profile. You will be able to see 2 options: - I lost my Phone - Remove from my account - Get webOS Doctor This is for "I lost my Phone": This is for "Remove from my account": I will proceed to try "Remove from my account" since it is what I want to achieve. Tried doing this couple of times but it came back. Tried doctoring the Pre 2 and still did not work! After all this failed attempt (not able to sign-on using my original profile), I switched off the phone as I have given up hope on it as I will never be able to use the Apps Catalog.

Unfortunately, the doctoring of my Pre 2 didn't work as specified here. I have been using a non-activated Pre 2 for the last 1 week. This means that the Apps Catalog is beyond my reach. The adventure starts here, I went over to webOS Internal to grab the ROM which is officially from HP/Palm. I have downloaded the following ROM in case I need them: - webOS 2.0.0 - webOS 2.0.1 - webOS 2.1.0 What I am going to do next is to doctor it back to the original ROM which is webOS 2.0.0 first. Then will try to login once more using my webOS Profile. Hope this works and once logged in, I will then disable my Backup as I am not bother with that anymore as all my contacts and emails are already in Google Mail. As for the apps, I can always download them from HP Apps Catalog and since New Zealand is not part of the released country, I can only see free apps, so not a concern to me. The steps are exactly the same as my other blog. The Pre 2 reboot and asking for Sign-On. Unfortunately
