When our own esteemed Paul Millercracked the mystery that allows the Motorola Droid to behave differently when docked than when in the hand, it took some of the magic out the behavior. However, that doesn’t diminish from its utility, and it’s a feature that could be coming to webOS. PreCentral.net received a screenshot from a developer highlighting two new options for webOS apps: Universal Search-enabled and Dock-enabled. The first surely means that apps can provide content based on Universal Search queries, and we’re going to go ahead and guess that the second enables an app to look and behave differently when docked. The question is: what’s the dock? Is it just the Touchstone, or are there more docks coming? Here’s to hoping.
