Life in the Old Dog yet?

Seems I could have been a bit premature on the future of the Palm Pre. HP are certainly talking up entry into the smartphone market with the Palm and webOs leading the way.

The OS (in my opinion) is at least the equal of the iPhone OS in most regards and better in others (true multitasking from the word go on webOS).

Now lets see how HP takes on Apple in the coming months!

The big advantage for HP/Palm is the community of developers out there who love to develop on the webOS platform.

Palm Pre

I am very much enjoying using the Palm Pre. Unfortunately it looks like the days of the Palm are numbered. Little or nothing has been heard of potential onoing developments for webOS devices since the takeover by HP.

If anyone has heard of anything from HP in terms of a roadmap for webOS and future smartphones from Palm/HP I would be very much interested in hearing about it....along with every other Palm Pre owner!

Windows Free

I am now Microsoft Windows free for the first time since University.
CentOS at work, Ubuntu on my laptop, Fedora at home and of course webOS on my Palm Pre.

Feels good :-)

Palm Pre - webOS 1.3.1 upgrade

My Palm Pre successfully updated using my Wifi network at home on Monday night.

All seemed to go smoothly although it seemed to take an age for the update to complete - 30 minutes
perhaps.

Anyway, here are the release notes here for v1.3.1 of webOS released for (spit) O2.
