Palm Pre Plus, Pixi Plus Coming to Verizon

,----[ Quote ]
| Palm's CES 2010 press conference didn't 
| offer nearly as much fanfare as last year's 
| event, where the company unveiled the Palm 
| Pre. But Palm did announce new phones, a 
| software update, and new partnerships, 
| proving that this once-struggling handset 
| company is not just a one-trick pony.

Palm Pre Plus First Hands-On: Super-Fast, Button Removal Is No Problem

,----[ Quote ]
| It's speedier, thanks to the double RAM 
| that's been added, and noticeably easier 
| flipping between apps and programs. The 
| screen is responsive, but no more 
| responsive than it was before. All in all, 
| it's the same Pre experience you've had 
| before, just faster. Oh, and guess you'll 
| have to fork out for a TouchStone now.

Pebble, pretty, perfection, Palm...Pre

,----[ Quote ]
| That ânew-nessâ came in the form of a new
| mobile phone and the new operating system
| that ran on it: the Palm Pre, a phone that
| channeled the Zen-like beauty of a smooth
| black pebble; and webOS, the Linux-based OS
| with deep hooks to the modern phenomenon of
| social networking via a technology Palm has
| dubbed Synergy.

Palm's Native webOS App Secrets Revealed

,----[ Quote ]
| The discovery of SDL's inclusion in webOS
| 1.3.5 really should have been enough evidence
| for you that something big was brewing, but
| destinal and Rod Whitby's (of WebOS Internals)
| latest discovery is proof positive: webOS
| 1.3.5 also includes a method for launching
| native Linux applications without any of the
| Upstart hackery we reported on yesterday.

webOS DOOM Paving Way For Future SDL Ports

,----[ Quote ]
| Since its initial release less than two days
| ago, development has proceeded apace on the
| webOS port of classic FPS DOOM. The latest
| news, however, has implications beyond just
| this particular port itself. For starters, the
| game no longer requires any fooling around in
| the Terminal to get it started: you can now
| load it from an icon in your launcher, just
| like any other app. You can also fire up
| multiple instances of the game in multiple
| cards - possibly useless in of itself, but
| it's great for that geek cool factor.
