While speaking to Bloomberg, HP CEO Leo Apotheker said Tuesday that his company is currently in talks with OEMs about the possibility of licensing the use of its webOS mobile operating system. Although Apotheker would not divulge which companies HP has spoken with, adding that “there is no time pressure to do this,” Bloomberg cites three sources [...]

In a perfect world, Palm would have launched webOS a year earlier. They would have debuted with killer hardware to legitimately contend with the iPhone 3G that was, at the time, tearing up the smartphone charts all over North America.

We don’t want to get our hopes too high with this one, but it’s certainly worth noting that the Palm Pre Plus is currently sold out on both AT&T’s and Verizon’s websites.

If you recall last week’s article you will remember how much patching can change the experience of the webOS, and how it can address core issues with the operating system. This time I’m going to detail the process of CPU scaling in an attempt to fix two of Palm’s devices’ largest problems: speed and battery [...]

We already know how bad Bell wants you to own a Palm Pre and now they have launched a new promotion making the deal even sweeter. Bell has decided that giving the Pre away for free (on a 3-year contract of course) wasn’t enough and now is offering people $15 off their monthly bill if [...]
