After a disappointing initial effort , Palm has unleashed version 1.1.0 of its webOS Facebook app.
Just hours after we wrapped our mitts around what looked to be Palm’s official webOS 1.4 changelog , along comes this: confirmation from none other than Sprint itself. According to a post on the carrier’s official forums by Sprint Admin ‘izzyks,’ both the Pre and Pixi will see the long-awaited webOS 1.4 update hit sometime tomorrow evening. As always, users will see an OTA alert when the new files are ready for consumption, and you can find a full list of the fixes and changes just beyond the break
What do you call a long press in the gesture area on a webOS phone?
If you ask us, the Palm Pre Plus pretty much sells itself . So if we were working out a promo campaign for it, we’d just display the competitive pricing front and center and get the hell out of the product’s way
How long does it take for a smartphone to go from two hundred bucks on contract all the way down to a big, fat goose egg? If you’re Bell — and the phone is the Palm Pre — the answer is right around five months, apparently.
Yeah, yeah — we’ve seen a fairly weak effort to ape the Pre before, but this… this is the knockoff webOS device your shady side has been waiting for
Just to clarify right out of the gate, the “year” Fast Company is referring to is 2009, but nonetheless, it’s an award we’re sure Jon is happy to have. 11 geeks were found worthy of the “Geek of the Year” award in ‘09, with the likes of Evan Williams and Biz Stone (Twitter), David S

We’d heard webOS 1.3.5 would be coming to the Pre on Sprint today, and here we go — it’s being pushed to devices right now. The official changelog is quite long, but the big-ticket tweaks include the removal of the app storage limit, better performance, and improved battery life. We’ll let you know how our update goes — you let us know the same now, kaykay
Reports are sprouting up again that Palm’s Pre is headed to a telecom in China soon. As reported back in August on Engadget , it states [via Financial Times] “China Telecom is planning to offer the Palm to its subscribers.” Cut to November 2009 and today a Reuters article states: “China Telecom hopes to have released BlackBerry handsets by the end of the year or early next year, said the source, adding that the firm is also in talks with Palm to release Palm smartphones in the same time period.” The fact that China Telecom needs competitive phones like the Pre and Blackberry’s in their lineup to compete with the big boys bodes well for the smaller company
Oh Palm Pre, why do you torment us so much? With the Holidays around the corner this week, two major shopping events are coming up: Black Friday and Cyber Monday. The one time of year retailers have to ‘get into the black’ for the year
