I have heard that the webOS system is no longer supported for some reason, so people have reported problems. Could you please advise?

Hi, yes it discontinued by manufacturer. It has a market place and many US specific applications are available. It's just a unique item so small, cute and exclusive.So just have it in your collection as stand by phone.

I am happy to help. I currently use a TouchPad, Pre3, and a Veer all running WebOS. What kind of problems are you hearing about? My email address is andrew dot hradesky at hotmail dot com.

The one we bought for my husband stopped working so we had to buy a different kind.

webOS is the foundation of the software for the palm pre which later in time gave life to the hp palm veer. This phone will always work under that software, so who ever is having problems should discart this option. other things can affect the device such as the fact that it runs on a 3g network and not 4g. So you must make sure that the sim card carrier for the device is compartible to the phone.

This is true. Trying to update is not possible, and if you don't already have some apps like maps etc. you won't be able to download them. However! OpenOS is hp's supported alternative and once you install it instead the phone is fully functional. Everything is very well documented, but it does take a little effort so not ideal if you just want to get it and go. Still, it's a great phone so if that's no hurdle I fully reccomend it.

I'm running OS X Mavericks and it works perfect. I did install Moom as well.

I'm not sure about any of those questions. The internet is slower than dial-up, customer support is terrible and only holds a charge for about an hour. Piece of crap.There is an update for jellybean that should resolve the issues but Archos doesn't have it yet it and no word on if they ever will.

I agree the hoarding is bad, but it's part of free enterprise.webOS is not dead. HP never stated that it was. If it's your opinion, my apologies.

None of the specification indicate that OSX is supported. The lack of drivers for OSX would be the primary problem.

I have several of these. I've used Ubuntu 14.04, CentOS 6.6 and CentOS 7.0 without any major problems.

I am using OS 10.9 and it is working fine. I have not tried it on old versions of the OS.

So sorry. It does indeed appear that Sienzo is no longer on the net. I went to cnet.com and clicked on the link there for sienzo.com as well as the support link. Nothing there. My copy gave me nothing but trouble for a few years, constantly reverting to "demo mode" causing me to have to reactivate my license key. I wrote the somewhat negative review talking about the problem and after that I don't think mine failed again! Go figure. Wish I could be of more help, but if you can not just click the "help" and then click "about" on your program and go to the web site to reactivate there is nothing else I know to do. So sorry.

Mine works still. I think you need to set up the hp webOS account because that's how you pay for apps. Try HP customer support (shudder). hp is still there, but just barely; the support is spotty. On the other hand, there aren't a lot of apps worth using anyway. Face it, the phone is an orphan. Too bad that, it's a great phone; mine has been tough and reliable; I'll use it 'till it crumbles into dust.

I haven't used this device since I switched to Windows 8 and the device didn't support that platform. I tried to contact for updates but gave up. Probably has the updates now. Thanks for reminding me. I will pull this out and see.

I had a Pre and then a Pre2 for years. Absolutely, loved them, but, the operating system is no longer supported, so, started having issues. It broke my heart to change from them. I hope the HP will re-introduce them to the market place with modern upgrades, as, I would get one the minute they re-appear. Sorry to send you bad news, but, you should, maybe, choose something else.

You have to install, another sort of whats app, since web os does not have many apps, it is a little complicated. I have to check if the SoC architecture support Android, does somebody has changed the operating system?

It sure seems to be defunct now. And most likely the entire company has gone down as well since their main product was really cordless phones and who needs them anymore? The website doesn't respond at all. Too bad because it worked very well in it's time. I suppose these units will all be discontinued since everything is available via smartphones anyway. However it is still possible to find and select stations directly from the radio.

Well I didn't have any luck making it work on any OS. They sent it with a third party software, the disk had a corrupt file and when I googled it for a fix it directed me to download it from another site. It's basically spam ware and opened up my computer to the free world. In researching it a bit I think lots of others users experienced the same issue. I would look elsewhere for a camera.

Hi Patricia. The unit itself is a very nice device. Where I had problems, was with the software. It worked once, maybe twice, but that was it. A search of the Internet revealed that many others had problems with the software too. What I ended up having to do, was to find a program on the Internet, that I could manually add the results into. When you say that it stopped working, do you mean the unit itself stopped working, or the communications with the software stopped working? I've only had mine a couple of months, and I don't use it that often, so I have no idea if mine will be working a year from now, or if it will stop working as yours did. Sorry I can't be of more help.

No. A pop-up eventually shows up saying the device is not supported, but I ignore it, click OK, and proceed to use it without any problems. I've found it invaluable.

I'm using it with BlueIris - no problems there. Also works in Firefox, Chrome, and IE (all Windows 8), as well as IOS 7 and 8. If using IE, make sure you have downloaded the most recent ActiveX.
