Is Palm a Player or Just a Pre-Tender?
,----[ Quote ]
| What about the gaggle of PalmOS applications written by those intrepid mobile
| developers over the past decade? Thankfully Palm has addressed that
| opportunity in the form of the “Classic” emulator application which may be
| purchased and run on the Palm Pre. This emulator allows you to use your
| favorite PalmOS application from yesteryear. That is exciting, and in my not
| so humble opinion a necessity to draw people back to the brand. Of course
| Palm has to make sure that new WebOS applications are readily available and
| begin to woo back their development base. I personally am very excited to
| learn more about WebOS. I just have to count the cost of sneaking another
| smartphone into the house.

Palm Pre, webOS: Software outshines device
,----[ Quote ]
| The software? webOS is a brand new mobile operating system, built by Palm
| from the ground up using common Web technologies like Javascript, HTML and
| CSS. That means experienced developers should be able to jump right in to
| create Pre apps with relatively little new knowledge. And the faster that
| great applications become available for webOS, the more attractive it will
| become to potential users. I look forward to seeing what kind of apps spring
| up for the Pre.

How Palm Designed The Pre
,----[ Quote ]
| Perched on Peter Skillman's desk for the past year has been a white ostrich
| egg, about as long as a DVD case. It is a talisman for Skillman, vice
| president of design at Palm: the inspiration for a novel smart phone, the
| Pre, slated to be available in early June. It hints at the phoenixlike
| rebirth Palm hopes to achieve in the smart phone business.

In Hindsight: Palm Pre or new iPhone? Read the fine print

Palm's Linux phone "exceptional," says reviewer

| of use, but battery life is a problem, says eWEEK.

Ars Reviews the Palm Pre, part 1: the BlackBerry killer
,----[ Quote ]
| Most of the gadget press is obsessing over whether the Palm Pre is an iPhone
| killer, but they're asking the wrong question. We've been testing one for the
| past few days, and it's clear to us that the real target of Palm's new phone
| is the BlackBerry. Here's how Palm will use the webOS to tackle the
| enterprise market.

Palm Pre runs Doom, smartphone-loving space marines rejoice
,----[ Quote ]
| If you were holding off on buying a Pre until it had some great games, start
| warming up that credit card. We knew homebrewers were already at work and one
| of those, a bloke who goes by the name Sargun, has managed to get the iconic
| Doom running on the phone -- or the open-source PRDoom, anyway, which is
| close enough for us.

Palm Centro and Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| The verdict is... It works BEAUTIFULLY. The 650 would usually hang up and not
| always finish the sync. The Centro usually thoroughly syncs. Also, the 650
| would not always sync. It only seemed to want to sync when there was new
| information. The Centro will sync every time you hit the button.

Palm Pre
,----[ Quote ]
| I'm impressed. There's a few rough edges and some obvious short-term hacks,
| but overall the Pre has the appearance of being a well-engineered
| distribution. It's recognisably Linux in a way the Android isn't. Since it
| seems to be possible to gain root by entering the developer mode, I suspect
| that modifying the firmware image isn't especially difficult. It'll be
| interesting to see what happens when GSM ones appear.
