Palm Pixi seen running webOS 1.3.1 on video {Engadget Mobile}
Nov 10th 2009 10:42PM No doubt they have an uphill battle, but I think if they continue doing what they're doing, they can continue to carve out a solid niche for themselves. There's a TON of android talk now because of the 'droid release.. but let's see what Palm's response is. I can't help but think there's too great of a braintrust over there to just slip quietly away. Granted, I'm a fan too..
But who doesn't root for the underdog?
Palm Pixi seen running webOS 1.3.1 on video {Engadget Mobile}
Nov 10th 2009 8:01PM interestingly, the browser in 1.3.1 appears to be displaying placemarkers for flash objects. Not flash yet, but a nice reminder that it's on the way.
Palm Pre price keeps sinking on Bell, down to $100 {Engadget Mobile}
Nov 8th 2009 11:10AM I think there's a bit too much gloom and doom relating to the Palm posts lately. The Pre launch in the US was solid. not spectacular, but solid. The generation 1 Pre with WebOS 1.0 was quite polished, and they're putting energy into updating and optimizing the OS like I've never seen from Palm. Comparing generation 1 WebOS devices (Pre, Pixi) to generation 1 Android devices (G1, MyTouch, Eris) the WebOS devices are definitely more refined. The challenge is that generation 2 Android devices like the Droid are out now for everyone to see, so the naysayers come crawling out of the woodwork. Palm has support from Elevation Partners to go for quite a while as long as they keep doing what they're doing. Let's wait and see what the response from Palm is. Considering how great the Pre is as a first shot with WebOS, I'm excited to see what they can do now that they have a little momentum. (Here's hoping they have a response at CES this year...)

DROID mania sweeps the nation, so to speak {Engadget Mobile}
Nov 7th 2009 12:07PM dude, I've got a Pre. I followed the lead-up to the droid launch *wishing* Sprint had marketed the Pre this well.
(Maybe if they had a creepy girl come out of those stealth fighter droppings...)
Verizon confirms: Palm Pre hitting Big Red "early next year" {Engadget Mobile}
Oct 17th 2009 5:40PM Agreed. The elegance of WebOS, even in it's infancy is astounding. In no way can I knock the iPhone for what it does. it's a great device...
But I wonder if in some ways it's the ultimate execution of the rotary phone, with the Pre as the first touch-tone device on the block.
webOS 1.2 now available, brings support for app purchases {Engadget Mobile}
Sep 28th 2009 10:46PM email search! The calendar is running faster, the browser has nicer transitions and automatically resizes for typing, improved copy/paste....great stuff. Well done, Palm.
The Palm Pixi is official, headed to Sprint this holiday season -- we've got hands-on and video! {Engadget Mobile}
Sep 9th 2009 3:07PM Awesome to see another WebOS Device breaking cover so soon after the Pre. For anyone who wasn't feeling the vertical slider on the Pre (for whatever reason), this one's for you. Also, it looks like they're keeping their noses to the grindstone expanding Synergy, which is great.
Here's hoping the blogs are right with the below $99 predictions...

Palm complains about Apple to USB governing body, while Pre / iTunes sync "fix" is explained {Engadget Mobile}
Jul 25th 2009 8:58AM Suppose it were Microsoft Word, and MS said you HAD to use a Microsoft printer to print your docs? Defending MS in that case starts to sound pretty ridiculous, doesn't it?
Palm webOS 1.1 now available, fixes iTunes 8.2.1 syncing {Engadget Mobile}
Jul 23rd 2009 10:43PM Just finished updating. Better exchange support, faster camera, smoother animations...nice stuff. And all just a few weeks after the last update. Glad to see they're still hard at work making a great device even better. And anyone against opening up iTunes to cover more devices is only outing themselves as a blind fanboy.
Apple: I WANT to use your software. Quit being a douche.
