Ideas for improvements to the Palm® webOS™.
Allow the users to specify a time before a lock code is required to unlock. Currently, if your Pre is set to require a Simple PIN or Password on unlock, if your device goes to sleep and you wake it up 5 seconds later, a PIN or Password is required. Would be great to be able to specify separate sleep and lock times. As an example, sleep after 1 minute, require PIN after 10 minutes.
Photos supports uploads to Facebook and Photobucket. I'd also like to see Flickr or Picasa.
We you start adding lots of apps it because more difficult to get to them.

I want to be able to make more pages or can I have a list mode like on Palm OS?
All alert types should be controllable from one location. Right now, if I want to turn off audible e-mail alerts, but leave messaging alerts and the ringer audible, I have to go into the e-mail app menu, select the account, and turn off alerts from there. If I want to turn off e-mail alerts and messaging alerts while leaving the ringer on, then I have to go to the messaging app menu in addition to the e-mail app menu. These should all be individually controllable from the "Sounds & Ringtones" app.
The Pre should be able to create and join ad-hoc wifi networks.
There should be an option to customize alert sounds based on their source (one sound for e-mails, another for calendar alerts, etc.). An option to set a custom alert for messaging from a contact (just like custom ringtones now) would be good, too.
We need other messaging standards for the Palm Pre messaging app.
-Jabber/XMPP
-IRC [used in many corporations]
-Yahoo
-MSN
-Facebook chat
WebOS should be able to pair with devices over bluetooth that are not headsets. For example, it should be able to pair with laptop computers without the laptop initiating the pairing connection.
Palm should consider open sourcing the webOS™ in an effort to gainmore market share.
