Pre users familiar with the webOS browser may be finding a need for additional functionality when it comes to downloading images, music and other content from the web. After all, having such an option only makes sense in making the best use of your data plan over Sprint's 3G network. A new tweak in a growing list of webOS hacks from PreDevWiki (made possible by the webOS root) adds a download widget to the bottom of web pages, as well as a "downloads" feature that creates its own scene for completed downloads in the browser.
It will take a bit of work to get it up and running, but Palm apparently left much of the code in place for downloading anyway, so only one line of "code" really needs to be fixed, while others are considered resources. Of note is that while the swipe-to-delete will remove the widget from the screen, the downloads still persist until finished. Also, downloading unknown types (such as .zip or .exe) results in an endless loop of new browsers, so should be avoided for now. Hit up the link below for the details:
