Wake-on-LAN for WebOS (Palm Pre)

I recently published the Wake-on-LAN client for webOS (used by Palm Pre and Pixi) and finally got a chance to create a video showing how it works. You can see it below. I had to write a Java dbus service to accomplish this functionality so, unfortunately, this won’t be showing up in the Palm app catalog, but you can install it using Preware. For more information checkout the WoL project page.

only wifi? — mike
This is a great idea! I haven't checked out your src code yet but it looks like this only works over wifi since you didn't specify an IP address. So does the PRE need to be on the same subnet as the target?

Thanks, Mike. You are right, this only works on local networks.

Scheduler? — Brian
Nice app, any chance you plan to build in a scheduler that can run in the background. I need my pc running before i wake up for skype, am trying to find an app to wake my pc for me.
