Palm Pre News
HP is killing off its webOS devices and it looks like the end of the line for the platform. Let’s take a look back at how it came to be and why we’re now looking at the end of the line. Palm was in the smartphone game before it was cool with its Treo lineup…
It’s only been a week since we gave away an iPad and we already have another big item to give away to you, our dedicated, and probably attractive, readers. This week we’re giving away a Palm Pre 2 and it’ll be open to all North American residents. The only catch is that the phone itself…
My current favorite when it comes to golf GPS applications, GolfLogix, has just added the Palm Pre to its growing list of compatible devices. Other smartphones that already play nice with GolfLogix include the iPhone 3G and 3GS, plus many BlackBerry, Android and Windows Mobile powered devices. If you’ve never used a golf GPS app…
This is just a quick little rumor for those of you packing webOS powered devices. Yes, the Palm Pre and Pixi on Sprint could be getting new webOS goodness real soon.

If you’ve ever wondered how long the lag is between Palm submitting a firmware update to a carrier, and the actual firmware update going live, wonder no longer. Thanks to one Rod Whitby (founder of the webOS Internals Group), we can…
It was late April when I told you about the Bell Palm Pre going up for free on 2 and 3 year contracts. A hard-to-beat price for sure, especially if you have been wanting a Pre for some time. Today, Bell has made another move on the Pre front. They’ve gone ahead and eliminated the…
