Palm Pre

...limited beta access right now... - JA Castillo from Bookmarklet

So, I am trying to add an IPK via FileCoaster and it tells me there is an install error. Is that more than likely related to FileCoaster, the IPK, DevMode must be active, other? - JA Castillo

Not sure what the deal was, but fiddled w/ things via Web OS Installer and was able to load the IPK. - JA Castillo

You might want to be a bit careful, since its a pretty important little slot - I wouldn't be shoving the phone in a dirty pocket, for instance. Just a thought. - jcunwired

true. I almost always put it in the little pouch though. - chrisofspades

Often on first opening the app. Always though when I close and reopen it behaves normally. - jcunwired

@Rod - I have not tried TweeFree...will look into it... - JA Castillo

Any other pre owners getting this when trying to download an app from the palm store? - jamar78

So lets say you really want to watch The Office when it airs, but you can’t get to a TV because you’re on the bus. Set your DVR and watch it when you get home, right? Well, you could do that, or you could watch it right now. VuiVision.com, which is currently in public alpha testing, offers streaming live television over the invisible tubes that connect your phone to the internet. - Bill Heslin from Bookmarklet

Let me check my TV. Yes, How I met your mother is on right now on the East Coast - Bill Heslin

If you don't hear from me for days, that means it didn't work to good and I'm lost. - Bill Heslin

Geocaching has always intrigued me. I thougt about purchasing this app, its quite good. Bill you might want to install the Send My Location app, just in case :) - jcunwired

seems to be a known issue: http://forums.palm.com/palm.... although these folks clocks jump ahead instead of behind - chrisofspades

turning mine off and on will temporarily fix it. - chrisofspades

"There are three partitions with which you should concern yourself. There is / (root), where webOS itself and Palm’s applications are stored, there’s /media, which is your 6.7 GB of USB-mounted storage space, and there’s /var, where applications are stored. This last partition has an allotment of 253 MB assigned, which can get awfully crowded when you throw in a few dozen apps." - Rodfather from Bookmarklet

I read this too, pretty screwy on their part. Hard to believe they have fixed partition sizes with a device that is clearly lacking in storage space in the first place. I don't see any benefit to this at all. - jcunwired

Nevermind, its not ready for primetime. The developer decided to create some crazy two book limit, but it is apparently not tied to the number of books in the system, but something totally off the wall. I haven't been able to use it, apparently I reached my limit without even loading a book. Aside from that, it only supports html files. One star, at best. - jcunwired

I got the weather app....that's it though...was only $1.99 - jamar78

Weird. They disappeared from the catalog. - Rodfather

Not yet, I haven't found any that I must have. - jcunwired

"If we do release it for Palm... it might be released as a 'last time thank you' for their support... but note that we are already migrating to the Pre's WebOS. The other thing that why some Palm ppl might still want it on their older devices is the new touch UI." - Rodfather from Bookmarklet

Nice to see things like this coming to the pre but $4.99 is a bit steep don't you think? - jamar78 from Bookmarklet

A netflix app to stream instant content would be cool too - Rodfather

Sweet. Downloading now - Rodfather from Bookmarklet

I'm glad your doing the work Rodfather...lol...I'm so lazy about this...let me know...hehehehe - Bill Heslin

"Here are some major changes listed by Palm: * Search is now available in the email app, allowing you to find by subject, from, to, or CC fields (no message search yet). * The web browser now supports cut, copy, and paste within a webpage (text only). * Music purchases via Amazon can now be done over EV-DO. It's not clear if they mean that you can download the tracks, or just queue them (that would be lame, however). Anyone test this yet? * A new gesture has been added which allows you to swipe down from the top of the screen to open the application or connection menu -- which should be a huge help to everyone missing those small targets! * You can now download files from within the browser, and Palm has created an easy method to open a link in a new card." - chrisofspades from Bookmarklet

If anyone contemplating getting one this weekend seems to be a great time to get one, but have to quick since it expires on Monday. - jamar78 from Bookmarklet

I was happy to finally get $100 rebate from Sprint, but I shoulda waited at the rate this thing is dropping. - chrisofspades from Bookmarklet

"I will be joining Ben, my best friend, partner in crime, and fellow Ajaxian, as we take a new role as Director’s of the Palm Developer Relations team. We will have the responsibility of the developer experience with Palm. We will be trying to create a rich connective tissue between the company and the Web developer community that we love." - Ken Sheppardson from Bookmarklet

Palm's App Catalog for the Pre properly launches tomorrow, and right now the question on most peoples' minds is just how many paid apps will be in there when the doors open. Based on the latest word from the development team, the answer could be quite a lot. Apps submitted late to the party are apparently being added to approval queues so long Palm is having a hard time keeping track of them all. Developer Community Manager Chuq Von Rospach has indicated the approval group has "more applications than we could handle well," apologizing because they have "dropped some things on the floor." We're hoping they'll be picked up and dusted off quickly, because the five-second rule is not something to be messed with. - JA Castillo from Bookmarklet

Exciting - Rodfather

...i'm with ya... I've had that same problem intermittently for last few days. I tried going to "Trending Topics" and then back to "Home" and that seemed to fix it, 2-out-of-3 times. I'm trying out Spaz on the Pre Now. - .LAG liked that

you might be right Jericho - chrisofspades from email

"Sprint (NYSE:S) today launched another wireless industry innovation. Sprint is stepping past the idea of calling circles to provide Any Mobile, AnytimeSM – a new feature of Sprint Everything Data plans. With the new Any Mobile, Anytime, Sprint customers get unlimited mobile-to-mobile calling from the Sprint Network to ANY wireless phone on any U.S. wireless carrier network at any time." - jcunwired from Bookmarklet

"I tell you: I am sorely tempted by the Pixi. Yes, it's not as powerful as the Pre. Yes, it lacks WiFi. Yes, it has a smaller screen. But the always-there keyboard and the blissfully tiny size are compelling. I probably won't switch because of those three issues, but honestly I don't envy the decision a future buyer will have to make if he or she doesn't care much about one of those three things." - Rodfather from Bookmarklet
