With all the hype that surrounded the June release of the Palm Pre, the idea of further phones using the webOS system was widely disregarded. Many assumed the the success of the Pre would dictate the release of any further phones, and the Palm's very existence was reliant on the flagship webOS handset being a smash. The small rumor of another phone name 'Eos' or 'Pixie' seemed little more than a figment of an over zealous fan wanting to contribute to the ... Read More

Up until today it had been a new Palm phone was a mystery only exceeded by the speculation around the company's ability to survive over the coming harsh winter months. Yet, out of the frying pan of analysts prediuctions that the Palm Pre's sales were falling off, returns were high, and Palm was likely to release less than promising results for the quarter, comes a bright new future in the Palm Pixi. Completely altering the form factor availalble with the Palm Pre handset, ... Read More

The new update for webOS was accidentally leaked yesterday, and apparently the leak came from Palm itself. A few forum members overs at PreCentral Forums used webOS Doctor (Build Sprint.100.166 08/30/09 08:03 - which is no longer available) to reset their factory settings and the phone automatically installed the new version 1.2 of Palm mobile operating system. New features include: - Ability to enter your account details into the app catalog -  which will allow of the monetization of future apps in the store. ... Read More

Honestly, I can't complain about my Pre much. Are there little tiny things that could stand to be tweaked or improved? Absolutely, but none of them are deal breakers for me and that seems to be the consensus but there because I've yet to hear from fellow Pre owners regretting their purchase. All in all, I'm very satisfied. I couldn't have been more satisfied with my buying experience either. I was invited to a Palm Pre Launch even on June 5th so my ... Read More

I can't remember the last time I had a phone that welcomed me with a video... and maybe that's because I don't think I have had one do it at all. Well, enter the Pre... the new love of my life. (I'd like to apologize to my significant other but it's the truth. Love hurts, boo.) My Macs have always welcomed me with a nice multi-lingual video intro and now the Palm re promises to do the same (minus the multi-lingual bit). ... Read More

Sort of... CNN reports that AT&T CEO Randall Stephenson said at All Things Digital:D7 today that he "sees AT&T selling the Pre after the exclusive arrangement with Sprint expires." That's not necessarily a definite but going along with the fact that Sprints exclusivity has a expiry date you would expect that some of the other networks would pick the phone up. When the exclusivity ends isn't confirmed, and there wasn't any mention of the Palm Eos during the speech. The rumor mill ... Read More

Much like the webOS address book, which displays all the information available from multiple different sources, like Google, FaceBook, and Microsoft Exchange servers, the calendar works the same way. Palm Pre's webOS can pull calendar information from a variety of sources and display it all together, with entries color-coded by their source (by default, blue for Palm, green for Google, and yellow for FaceBook events). If all of this information at once sounds a bit overwhelming, don't worry, you can choose to ... Read More

I ran across an interesting article today and as always, I have to share. When we all make our mental (or physical) lists of what we want on the Pre, we have certain must-haves... deal breakers, and unimportant nice-to-haves and we base those lists on what we already know and don't know about the Palm Pre. Well, here's a list (not complete by any means as it is missing, in my opinion, one of the big ones, Synergy) based solely on what ... Read More

I put a note in the back of my mind two days ago to show this to you guys but you know how life goes... you get busy and then forget what you had sworn you'd remember to do... that is, until someone else reminds you of it and then all of the sudden you say, "Crap, how did I forget to do that?" While digging around webOS aimlessly like I do most days now, something caught my attention. At the home screen, ... Read More

It's been a busy few days in the world of Pre, hasn't it? Actually, it's been more like a busy week, but we wouldn't have it any other way, would we guys? After a long drought, there now seems to be a downpour and we are all ecstatic about it. Over at Engadget, you can have yourself a first look at what Palm likes to call, the "Palm Pre Gesture Guide." Everything from bringing up the QuickLaunch menu bar to your, by ... Read More
