According to MotionApps , by far the single most requested feature for their Palm OS emulator on the Pre, “Classic,” is HotSync and it’s not hard to believe. Rest assured though, with this admission comes also the news that full HotSync support is coming to their “Classic” app on the Pre and it will be a free update! It’s like the holidays came early this year! MotionApps , it seems, have taken these requests of “Classic” users, like myself, into serious consideration and have been hard at work on implementing full HotSync support into “Classic,” effectively expanding the emulator’s usefulness to those who heavily rely on it in their daily lives.
With all the recent talk about hacking the Pre to run on rival networks here in the states, (which I don’t approve of because of the risks, not just because I love my Sprint ) I thought I’d help you understand just what doing something like this entails. Nothing here is a proprietary secret… just knowledge you come across with a little bit of research. Unlike GSM cell phones, just unlocking or “flashing” a CDMA phone is not enough to make it work on different network because instead of using a SIM card, the data used to connect to a network is stored internally.
I’m very pleased to announce that effective today we are wrapping up the webOS early access program. We are doing this because today we opened up the program to everyone and released our new public developer portal at http://developer.palm.com .
After many weeks of silence from Palm about their Early Access Program, Palm’s one and only Chuq Von Rospach, the Developer Community Manager posted an update on the Palm Developer Network blog .
