Fifty-Six-Kay modems how I hate thee. Stuck without a somewhat possibly decent web connection (or cell signal) for more than a couple days, we’ve fallen a tad bit behind on the news.

Palm: All Release Date Rumors Are Wrong

by PalmWebOS.org on April 23rd, 2009

While the entire universe is busy trying to parse the existing launch date rumors and decide which ones are the most plausible, Palm has stayed strict to their word of 1st Half of 2009… until now.

WebOS Rocks, According To Devs

by PalmWebOS.org on April 20th, 2009

Developers will make or break any of the next generation mobile operating systems. Sure these “open” systems that allow access to third party applications are great, but if developers don’t rally around your platform and start creating unique offerings available on the devices, you’re stuck with a big problem. A problem that webOS won’t have [...]

Sprint has just sent out an Email with the subject “Meet Palm Pre” and a big graphic with the oversized title “All The Rage”: The email encourages recipients to “Hype the Palm Pre” via Facebook, Twitter or wherever we can “share your excitement with your friends!” Perhaps they haven’t been paying attention to us for [...]

Pre Launch Window Narrows

by PalmWebOS.org on April 15th, 2009

Only two days ago we got wind of some “internal memos” at Sprint that suggested there were TWO launch dates set by Sprint for the Palm Pre: May 17th and June 29th. The first was the primary target with the second being a back up contingency plan in case shipment volumes were not met. Well, [...]
