How the latest Palm Pre update syncs with iTunes
A few weeks ago, Apple released an iTunes update which prevented the Palm Pre from syncing up with iTunes. Shortly thereafter, Palm responded with an update of its own with the release of webOS 1.1, an update which re-enabled the ability of the Pre to sync up with and transfer media files from iTunes.

Comments Off on As original iPhone contracts expire, users aren’t migrating to the Palm Pre
At Apple’s earnings conference call yesterday, Apple COO Tim Cook said that Apple was having a difficult time keeping up with demand for the new iPhone 3GS. With that in mind, I wonder what Palm investor Roger McNamee thinks about Apple’s latest earnings report. In early March of this year, McNamee went on the record […]

Yesterday, Palm finally made the Palm Pre SDK available for all interested app developers. While Palm’s current app store selection is limited to a paltry 28 apps, the wider release of its Mojo SDK is expected to increase that number significantly. Palm Pre development is based on common web technologies such as HTML, JavaScript, and […]

Comments Off on Apple finally breaks ability of the Palm Pre to sync up with iTunes
It was reported shortly before the Palm Pre release that Pre users would be able to sync up their devices to iTunes to transfer media content.

Thursday, July 9, 2009
Citing a study by Strategy Analytics, Electronista is reporting that a good number of Pre owners are complaining about the complete lack of an onscreen keyboard.

Comments Off on Ars looks at the Palm Pre as a travel companion, and isn’t impressed
ArsTechnica recently reviewed the Palm Pre from the vantage point of a traveler and it turns out the Pre just isn’t up to snuff. Palm’s new phone is great for keeping you connected while on the road, but you can’t do cloud messaging when you’re physically in the clouds. You also can’t play games, because […]

Thursday, July 2, 2009
Apple took a notoriously long time to implement ‘copy and paste’ onto the iPhone, with many pundits shouting that it should have been included from the get go.

Comments Off on Transformers like the Palm Pre, diss the iPhone
9to5Mac comically suggests that Palm paid off the Transformers to have them hype up the Pre’s qwerty keyboard, even though we all know that their gigantic fingers are a much better fit for the iPhone’s on-screen keyboard. Optimus Prime and Megatron even throw a casual barbs in the general direction of iPhone users. Check it […]

Friday, June 26, 2009
That Palm Pre sure does look comfortable leaning up against that eaten apple. If I were in a high school English class, I suppose I’d write that the image symbolizes the fact if it weren’t for Apple, the Pre would collapse out of existence. It’s a decent ad, but I sincerely doubt it will sway […]
