Here’s a detailed explanation on how to run your Wordpress blog on a Palm Pre. Palm is Linux based so it should be fairly easy for someone to get the hang of this given some familiarity with the OS. You will be using Optware Lighttpd and MySQL server and will have to secure shell within the Palm Pre device.
The process is outlined in this video, but click on the link above to get more detailed instructions.

Some of the joys of the advertising industry in the USA allows you to do things like this. In other countries, mentioning your competitor would issue you an ad board censor.

The Palm Pre’s sharp edge can be used to cut cheese. It’s not in the instruction manual, but who reads it anyway? Of course the cheese cutting technique will be available as well for the GSM / UMTS version.

Yesterday, Leo Laporte called Mike Arrington out for implying that he’s giving positive reviews of the Palm Pre because he was sent a review unit (Arrington’s TechCrunch staff apparently had a reserved slot for a unit as well).

/p>
The argument runs deep into the core on the question of integrity and the lending of demo units. It makes me think back on the number of demo units I’ve received (sadly I can’t afford to buy them all) and returned after the lending period. I looked over the box where I keep these things and I found a Motorola RAZR which Moto …read more

The Palm Pre is looking good in time for its June 6 launch. Unveiled, the Pre’s drive mode allows for the sncing of DRM free music to iTunes which means you CAN start using the Pre as an iPod. No word about syncing other items like Audiobooks, but we’re sure Apple won’t be allowing DRM enabled music from their iTunes store.

Dear Palm Pre,
In a few days we will finally get to experience a mix of nostalgia and excitement over what you have in store. It’s been TOO LONG, Palm Pre. We thought you’d come out in a much larger form, calling yourself the Foleo, but apparently after months of R&D, you got scrapped for a smartphone. It’s been too long, Palm Pre. Everyone else took after your simplicity (well except Windows Mobile), so we’re hoping to see you set a great standard for everyone else.

The Palm Pre runs on webOS and Palm has announced the availability of the Mojo SDK allowing developers to write their window-based apps with an iPhone twist pretty soon. Here are some of the features of the SDK:
* Build applications with gesture-based navigation, transitions, and scrolling
* Use the webOS notification system to alert users without interrupting them
* Leverage the local storage capabilities of HTML5 so that data is available even when users are offline
* Use a JSON-based message bus to tap into a wide …read more

Palm’s new webOS will include an emulator that allows users to run legacy applications from the Palm OS. Looks like great stuff coming for the Pre and the new operating system. The Classic operating system looks pretty neat, but it also takes advantage of the new processors to run apps faster on the Classic OS emulator.

Kinetic or flick scrolling used to be a fantastic piece of technology that the iPhone could boast. Now, even Nokia is bringing it into their phones. Before this, the Samsung OMNIA implemented kinetic scrolling to an extent. And alongside the N97, the Palm Pre is also making use of this technology. So it took the phone companies two years to play catch up.
What could be under Apple’s sleeve next?

Pictured above is the Palm Centro. It was supposedly the Palm OS’ last stand molded to fit the hands of fresh grads who wanted a powerful device that was hip as well as affordable. But Palm had a streak of bad luck half caused by user perception and the “Palm is dead” syndrome. Palm is thus convincing everyone to adopt the new webOS which debuts with the Palm Pre.
I guess there’s some allusion to 2009 being Palm’s “Easter Year” where it dies to resurrect into something completely new. The upcoming webOS looks amazing. Yes it does feature some iPhone like …read more
