Palm webOS
Palm introduced webOS as a new platform for their Palm Pre. One of the key features of the Palm webOS gives users the ability to type on the keyboard and instantly search for web queries, contacts, or apps. With the world of cellular advancing, Palm webOS should be able to excite every kind of cellular phone user. Palm Pixi, the video review in five minutes (or so). We'll also do in-depth looks at Pixi's features and hardware, so stay tuned! Adriana takes a look at Palm Pre's "little sister," the Pixi, which just launched on Sprint 11/15 for $99. Is it worth the money? Take a look at what comes in the box and see for yourself. A preview of the happy dilemma facing Sprint customers this Winter? Could be. Noah pits the Palm Pre vs the HTC Hero in the final chapter of this PhoneDog Dogfight!

A preview of the happy dilemma facing Sprint customers this Winter? Could be. Noah pits the Palm Pre vs the HTC Hero in part one of the latest PhoneDog Dogfight! Another day, another bizarre, confusing, and utterly terrible Palm Pre ad hits the airwaves. Seriously, who do they think they're going to reach with these ads? Does the art house crowd really bring in that much revenue for Palm? Fire the director and sell some phones already - WebOS is awesome, Pre is great, and both deserve a much better marketing campaign.
You knew it wouldn't last. Apple has just issued an iTunes update that kills Palm Pre syncing capabilities.
Palm had engineered some oh so clever programming that tricked iTunes into thinking Pre was an iPod, hence allowing Pre users to sync and manage their music sideloads via iTunes, just like iPhone/iPod users. Alas, Apple has said enough is enough via this little footnote in the iTunes 8.2.1 update:

This video gives an overview of the Palm Pre hardware and a better idea of it's size by comparing it side by side with other Palm devices, an iPhone 3G, the G1, and Touch Diamond.
precentral.net, a powerhouse for covering everything Palm Pre, has received their Palm Pre early. To keep our readers in the know, we are posting some of their early review videos. This one covers messaging on the Pre via SMS and IM. While the Pixi's price point has been dropping and dropping some more, the Pre has remained above the $100 mark. Bucking the trend, Amazon has lowered the Pixi's older brother to $79.99 on a new two-year agreement (not to mention a waived activation fee, saving you $36). With the gap diminishing between the two webOS handsets, I imagine most will opt for the Pre due to the increase in processing power. Sure, there are some...
"That thing's going to Cricket" - Aaron Baker, News Editor
FrankenPhone! It Lives!
Wasn't it Mick Jagger who once crooned, "You can't always get what you want / But if you make a mash-up you kinda can?" Something like that, anyway.
I'm tired of "close but no cigar" when it comes to mobile phones. iPhone's great except for that closed OS and no hard keyboard. Palm's WebOS is awesome but Palm can't seem to build a truly awesome piece of hardware...
I love Palm's WebOS. I ultimately shied away from making the Palm Pre my daily phone, however, because I didn't much like its form factor. I'm not a big fan of slider phones, instead preferring thinner candybar devices even if they wind up having a larger footprint. I also couldn't stand Pre's QWERTY board and took issue with sharp edges that bordered the keyboard tray (even though my colleagues still think I'm crazy for that one). But I loved...
A day after the retail launch of the Palm Pixi, webOS 1.3.1 has officially launched. Despite iTunes sync being notoriously absent, the ability to forward SMS and instant messages, Yahoo! contact and calendar sync, Yahoo! IM, improved notifications for e-mails, custom ringtones for text messages, PIN lock timer, and various video changes make the 126 MB update worth downloading.
The full change log can be viewed here (Bell users,...
With several smartphones at the $100 price point (iPhone 3G, Droid Eris, and BlackBerry Tour, just to name a few), one has to wonder if the Palm Pixi is going to be a smashing hit. Staying true to their "always low prices" moniker, Lets Talk, Walmart's online partner, is offering the Pixi for $30 (or in other words, roughly the price of a car charger at most retail stores).
According to commenters over at Engadget Mobile, the $30...
That little item underlined in red may have gotten some WebOS fans’ hopes up. (And it had some of us in the industry do a doubletake). That is, until someone at Sprint HQ noticed the colossal mistake of listing Wifi as a feature on the Pixi. Looks like the online ad’s been corrected now, but as far as I’m concerned, it still contains a gaffe: “Huge touchscreen”? Um, not exactly. Will the real Palm Pixi...
There’s a new iTunes update available. Among the things Version 9.0.2. brings, including support for its new AppleTV format, is an annoying new/old irritation for Palm users: The software breaks Palm Pre syncing for WebOS 1.2.1. (Yup, again.)
Palm’s done everything short of stuffing the Pre inside an iPhone shell, to keep iTunes shaking hands with its flagship device. But at every turn, Apple’s there, heading it off at... At this point, the news of Pre arriving on Verizon’s network early next year has been well-circulated. Now, some WebOS fans are holding out hope for a U.S. GSM version for an American carrier — namely AT&T.
AT&T? Since when has it been interested in WebOS?That’s a good question. All we know is that someone tipped off PreCentral that, at the Sprint Open Developers Conference today, Palm did a demo with a GSM handset... Today, official word came in that Palm Pixi will be available on November 15, as an exclusive offering from — you guessed it — Sprint. The cost will be $99.99, after a $50 instant discount and a $100 mail-in rebate (making the check-out price $199.99). Touchstone covers will also be offered for just $19. Pre’s little sister will sport WebOS, just like its predecessor, but in a smaller package. Pixi hasn’t been... Two new shortcuts to talk about today - the new USPS Mobile, and The Weather Channel application for webOS. Realizing the predominance of internet use on today's wireless devices, the USPS has launched a mobile version of their website. Found at m.usps.com, you can track your packages, find various post office locations, locate a ZIP code, find cities based on their respective ZIP codes, and learn more about USPS. What's more,... BAuclair85................How do you know that Verizon is going to carry the Pre? Also, how do you know they plan on crippling the Pre and all of it's good features?(what features?) Cleanser managed to get it to call and text on Verizon, which is like having a Ferrari and taking it for a Sunday stroll at 25 mph. Don't bother. Either wait for it to go to Verizon (I'm currently a Verizon customer and leaving them because they are planning on crippling the Pre of all its good features) or switch to Sprint.
If you're asking how they did it, you don't have the skill to do it yourself. Leave it to the hackers and developers. That's awesome! How do I get to that point? Do I have to unlock it? If so, how do I do that and where do I get the unlock code? http://www.engadget.com/2... As of right now you can't do it. I have not yet heard of a successful attempt to unlock Pre and activate it on another CDMA network. Sorry :-( Noah, how can I activate my Palm Pre on the Verizon Network since it is a CDMA phone? Do I need to unlock it? If so, how? Help! I'm excited about the Palm Pre with its new, Linux-based operating system. Many people feel that the Palm O/S is overdue for a facelift, but I wonder if the Pre will retain the high-quality Calculator app that users enjoy on the Treos and the Centro. That Calculator is multi-faceted and beautifully rendered. The calculator app provided on most other feature phones and smartphones is pretty basic . . . and not particularly appealing visually.
