The Palm Pre is a hot new piece of kit. Palm baked all sorts of multi-touch, GPS, WiFi, eye-catching goodness into the WebOS-powered Palm Pre, and it should be given praise for what it does well. But, all that hotness apparently comes at the cost of manufacturing quality. According to Jesup & Lamont analyst Kevin…
Bell Staffers Begin Palm Pre Training
If there was any doubt whether the Palm Pre was coming to the great white north via Bell, doubt no more. An internal document received by my good friends over at MobileSyrup clearly (ok, maybe not so clearly… Mr. Blurrycam makes an appearance again) shows that Bell employees have already begun training via an internal…
Rumor: webOS Update On or Around July 22nd?

Rumor: Verizon roadmap leaks, filled with a whole bunch of boring, and a whole lot of Samsung
A source that the Boy Genius Report claims to be trustworthy has slipped him a roadmap of devices, 14 to be exact, that are due to launch over the next few months on Verizon’s network.

Palm hiring people to make building 3D applications suck less
Say what you will about the Palm webOS, the one thing it was not meant to do was be a portable games machine. The iPhone excels in this regard, and Palm knows that. They’re looking at hiring a software engineer to build low level accelerated graphics drivers, and a games framework engineer to create a…
iPhone Dev: Limited WebOS SDK hinders serious app, game development
The WebOS might be as easy on the eyes as it is on your fingers, but the newest mobile operating system from Palm has a way to go before it can compete with the iPhone in graphics-heavy WebOS apps. The problem, apparently, is that WebOS Mojo SDK just isn’t robust enough for games or applications…
Feeling dirty? The Palm Pre soap bar!
The Palm Pre is a lot like the iPhone in terms of initial hype and user experience. So, it was only a matter of time before someone crafted a Palm Pre out of a bar of soap. What you see here is the first (to our knowledge) bar of soap modeled after the Palm Pre.…
Palm pushes WebOS Mojo SDK to all devs!
Mobile developers have been chomping at the bit for a publicly available WebOS SDK ever since the Palm Pre was launched earlier this year. Today, Palm has finally given eager WebOS developers the means to start developing apps for the WebOS’s App Catalog – the WebOS Mojo SDK has just been released to the public!…

It was a long time coming, but we’ve finally gotten our hands on the Palm Pre from Sprint! You know what that means… unboxing pics! Just in case you haven’t yet had your fill of Palm Pre box-shots and in-hand photos, take a gander at our unboxing gallery. For the rock-dwellers out there, the Palm…
Apple updates iTunes, no longer syncs with the Palm Pre
The Palm Pre’s ability to sync with iTunes has always been controversial. Yes, software has been invented that will let you sync your non Apple device to iTunes, but the Palm Pre was the first device to actually tell iTunes that it is an iPod and bypass the need to install a third party application…
