Homebrew Developers Release WebOS Quick Install for PC and fileCoaster for Pre

Humberto Saabedra

The Palm Pre homebrew community has collectively developed a new desktop application to facilitate the installation of Palm Pre homebrew applications, distilling the process all the way down to a simple drag drop operation and the Pre counterpart in fileCoaster which allows for direct install of the same applications directly on the device, acting as a file browser.

WebOS Quick Install File Coaster

Both applications are near feature complete for use across Windows, Mac OS X and Linux with WebOS Quick Install and fileCoaster requiring developer mode for use.
