Today’s the day folks.  Just one day after Android 2.1 was made available for the Droid, webOS 1.4.1 became availble to Palm users around the world, not just those on Verizon.
We’re not sure when the update will land on Verizon, but I assume that it’s going to be soon. Palm users have speculated that Verizon’s [...]

A couple of hackers have upgraded the Web OS 1.35 overclock patch they developed to support Palm Pre and Plus devices running Web OS 1.4.  Installing the patch will turn the feeble 500MHZ factory-default CPU clock up to the raging inferno of 800MHZ.
Apparently, test phones have had none of the problems associated with overclocking (keep [...]

Well, after months of speculation, it’s finally official: WebOS has found a home on AT&T.  Palm’s two devices, the Pre and Pixi Plus, will be available for $149 and $49 respectively.  The phones will be on sale in “the coming months.”
This seems to be Palm’s style:  make an announcement and then leave most of the [...]

Palm, once the alpha-male of the PDA and smartphone market, is now a small shadow of what it used to be.  Its stock has dropped to $4.00, a fifteen month low, and the company actually sold less phones last quarter despite announcing the Pre and Pixi Plus-es on Verizon.  It looks like Palm is on its [...]

Before I begin this post, I’d like to offer you a little background info in case you’re not completely familiar with PDK. Palm’s WebOS  is written in the languages of the web–HTML, Javascript, and CSS.  If you were to download Palm’s Mojo SDK (Software Development Kit), you’d find that it’s filled with these different technologies. Despite these [...]

Well, in an interesting turn of events, I have found that Palm’s WebOS is ready to handle Flash at version 1.3.5, but doesn’t have the code to actually play Flash at this moment.  A Flash beta was expected to be in the App Catalog soon after Palm’s CES keynote, but has not appeared yet, and [...]

Well, two days before Apple’s announcement of their ‘latest creation,’ Palm and Verizon had a reason to celebrate.  Palm released their own latest creations, namely the Pre Plus and the Pixi Plus.
Why ‘Plus’ you might ask?  Well, the Pre Plus has no center ball, which, as a Pre user and supporter, I can say is [...]

Today, Palm had their annual keynote at CES. Here’s a quick rundown of everything they announced as I work on the longer article:

Palm Pre Plus on Verizon
Palm Pixi Plus on Verizon
Tethering on the ‘Plus’ phones only on Verizon
Native app writing via PDK (plugin development kit) in C/C++
3D games written in C/C++ using the PDK, available [...]

For the first ever WebOS app of the week, I have chosen the homebrew app, Music Player (Remix).  This app, created by PreCentral user Danplc,   is the most widely downloaded hombrew app out there, and for good reason.  It takes Palm’s stock music app, and gives it the features that is was missing, such as [...]
