Palm's Linux secret makes the Pre

,----[ Quote ]
| You're lucky that you missed the review I had written of Palm's Pre after 
| working with it for six weeks. I couldn't see the attraction. The $299 that 
| Sprint charges to let you out of the store with the Pre isn't justified by 
| the phone's out-of-the-box features, and the anemic App Catalog presents few 
| opportunities to elevate the device to the capabilities of others in its 
| lofty price range. The Pre isn't a bad phone, but it's simply not worth the 
| $200 to $250 premium over the BlackBerry Curve, the T-Mobile G1, and the 
| iPhone 3G.

Open Source Solution for Multiple Mobile Platforms

| I cannot finish without making a comment about the fact that Palm has 
| concluded the super-secret early access SDK program and made the Palm WebOS 
| SDK available to all registered developers. This is an important milestone 
| and will begin to reveal the story about how well WebOS will be received by 
| the developer community at large. What I find interesting is how similar 
| WebOS’s approach is to PhoneGap’s approach.

Palm's Mojo Risin'

,----[ Quote ]
| Palm issued a public release of the Mojo software development kit for its new
| webOS operating system, in what could possibly be a response to leaks of the
| SDK in June. The SDK, given a limited release in April, had been slated for
| public release by the end of summer. Palm's take is that the public release
| follows the success of its early access program. "After a successful early
| access program, Palm's Mojo Software Development Kit is available to all
| interested app developers," begins the announcement on Palm's blog by Online
| Communications Director Jon Zilber.

Palm Pre Dances Nicely with Linux

,----[ Quote ]
| Fortunately, there are options that work quite well on most mainstream Linux
| distributions. Rhythmbox is the default music player for Ubuntu, and it
| recognizes the Palm Pre as a music device.

Palm Pre: The official Cool Tools review

,----[ Quote ]
| What it is: The touchscreen Pre is Palm's latest entrant into the smartphone
| market, and includes all of the features users would expect from today's
| smartphones: a compact size, e-mail access (including Exchange), Web browser,
| multimedia (music and videos) player, digital camera, embedded GPS and the
| ability to download new applications directly through an app store.
| Differences from the iPhone include a physical slide-out QWERTY keyboard, and
| the ability to keep multiple applications open simultaneously.
