Ars technica shares some advance information on Palm's Linux-based webOS platform. "The platform supports headless background services that interact with the user through passive notifications and interactive dashboard elements. Persistent data storage in webOS is facilitated by the HTML 5 database features. The platform's integrated media server supports audio and video playback through the open source GStreamer media engine."
