<description><![CDATA[This looks better than the iPad&amp;39's or iPhone&amp;39's notification system, doesn&amp;39't it(Credit:PreCentral.net)A few weeks ago, HP released its WebOS 3.0 SDK to developers. Devs who get a prerelease version of an OS are generally bound under a strict &quot;don't show people what we have&quot; agreement, but that hasn't stopped one from doing just that, sending PreCentral.net a copy, which they ran in emulation to put the OS through its paces. And it looks decidedly cool.As one might expect from a beta of a touch-basedtablet OS, the new version of WebOS, which is destined for HP's announced TouchPad tablets and likely a new generation of Pre smartphones, looked something like iOS for theiPad in some ways (for better or worse).That said, it also appears to have a few innovative features that improve over Apple's implementation, such as a three-paned e-mail view, better organization of browser windows, and an excellent-looking notification system.In addition, 3.0 interestingly abandons Google's pervasive maps in favor of Microsoft's Bing maps. The new map app, like most of the others, is seen in the video after the jump, and it's impressive.Facebook photo access is apparently built in, which is a smart move, and the photo and video album organization looks pretty slick.But photos and videos might take a backseat to QuickOffice, as HP has stated that it's gearing the TouchPad to business users primarily. Though the version in the current SDK beta doesn't appear to work properly, it's telling that HP is including it. Apple's tablet users can currently edit Office docs on their iPads, but only with the addition of word processing and spreadsheet apps like Pages and Numbers, which are available in the App Store for $10.It's important to note that the OS is running on a regular computer in an emulated environment, so there's no telling how it will run on the actual TouchPad hardware. In addition, it is a beta, meaning we can't fairly give it a full judgment yet.Still, we're impressed with what we've seen. It's a contender, and easily has the ability to outperform Google's so-far half-baked tablet offerings, and could maybe even give the iPad a run for its money--if it can bring in the developers. We've considered that WebOS has the potential as a dark horse in the race for tablet dominance, and this unofficial preview rather underscores the point. We can't wait to see what HP hasn't shown us yet.<br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[A security camera company has launched a new site to protest Canada&amp;'s new metered Internet usage laws in the most low-tech way possible a4&quot; by downloading files in the U.S. and mailing them on CDs or DVDs to Canadian Web surfers.While meant as a protest, though, it actually could be a smart way to move data around.Like most North American consumers, Canadians have long enjoyed practically unlimited bandwidth on their  Internet subscriptions. Predictably, when Bell Canada, the dominant telco, recently mandates that Internet service providers using its network institute 25-gigabyte bandwidth caps, above which consumers would typically pay a surcharge of $0.95 a gigabyte for downloads, many Internet users got upset. The after-effects ranged from some Canadians finding activities they&amp;'d grown accustomed to, like downloading large gamesthrough digital distribution services like Steam orchatting on Skype to be impractically expensive.By asking its visitors to simply type in the web address for a download. Canadian Download will then burn the information to a CD or DVD and mail the disc for free. The idea has become pretty popular a4&quot; it&amp;'s even the top link on Reddit.com&amp;'s front page, a site that recently announced it gets around 1 billion hits monthly.While the site was launched as a protest against Canada&amp;'s new laws that enforce usage-based billing for Internet service providers, it actually might be a better way to move some files around.Take, say, those game downloads. They might take hours to complete anyway, and they now cost real money if they push downloaders over the monthly cap. Why not just wait and get them in the mail The reality is that it&amp;'s quite expensive to download large amounts of data quickly. ISPs might even benefit from offering their customers the chance to get their large files on disc form through the mail a4&quot; which might work out to be less than $0.95 a gigabyte.Amazon.com offers the same kind of service with portable storage devices, though the service was mostly started in response to slow upload speeds which made it hard to use Amazon&amp;'s cloud computing services with large data files. Other countries are worse off in terms of their infrastructure: There was even a test at one point that showed a pigeon delivery service could transfer data &amp;''faster than broadband&amp;'' in South Africa.But Canadian Download is offering its services for free for the time being. The site&amp;'s owners are also advertising their other company that sells security cameras on the main website. Canadian Download users can donate money to the site, ranging from $5.00 (to help with shipping) to $1,000 (just to prove a point.)Like most other sites protesting the usage-based billing laws, Canadian Download is encouraging visitors to go visit the protest&amp;'s hub site. That site links to an online petition against the law that has around 300,000 signatures thus far.Next Story: Disney Mobile throws its weight behind Android tablets (video) Previous Story: Reddit, the Web&amp;'s new watercooler, hits 1 billion pageviewsPrintEmailTwitterFacebookGoogle BuzzLinkedIn      DiggStumbleUponRedditDeliciousGoogleMore&amp;8230'          Tags: metered Internet, Oh Canada, tiered bandwidth, usage-based billingCompanies: Bell Canada, Canada, Canadian Download          Tags: metered Internet, Oh Canada, tiered bandwidth, usage-based billingCompanies: Bell Canada, Canada, Canadian DownloadMatthew Lynley is VentureBeat's enterprise writer.
