How To: Install Homebrew Apps from our Gallery
Now that our Homebrew App Gallery is live, we've been flooded with requests about how to get them installed. It's easier than you might think, but we still have to mention that this stuff is still in Beta and so it might not be for everybody. If that doesn't scare you off, here's your how-to!
These instructions will apply to using a Windows (PC) machine, this will also work on a Mac since the program you need will be using is a Java program (check the webOS Quick Install Thread for more info, Mac users). You will only need the computer for the first step; from there you will be using the Pre to get your applications onto the device.

Add in that a lot of other companies with a lot of cash (to wit: Microsoft) are having trouble in the mobile space and you have a natural recipe for takeover speculation.
It's all speculation that I think is dead wrong. I'll explain why, after the break.
