Leaked WebOS 2.0 screenshots show Dropbox, MobileMe integration

So we knew it was only a matter of time after the WebOS 2.0 SDK release that we’d start to see more of the new OS. Now we have a collection of screenshots from a Chinese website, wibozi.com, that show a host of new features for WebOS 2.0.

In these new screenshots we see Palm is continuing with it’s Apple-envy by including MobileMe integration, presumably for storage and mail. The shots also show Dropbox and Google Docs integration for storage. Palm has also evidently added Cisco VPN support, making it easier for many users who require a VPN at work or school. For communication, WebOS 2.0 apparently has a host of new services for IM including IRC, LCS, and QQ (which would make sense in what appears to be a Chinese build of the OS). For those of us used to Android, the screenshots also show app selection for filetypes so you can make sure the right apps always open the right files.

These new features aren’t necessarily huge, but it’s always nice to have Dropbox and Google Docs support. There’s still no images of the apparent virtual keyboard that was included in the SDK, but that makes sense. That’s not something Palm would include in a beta before the company was ready to show it off. Surely these weren’t huge announcements for Palm, at least not compared with the last official announcement. Hopefully the new user-facing features Pal has yet to announce will be even more interesting.
