 With the imminent release of the Palm Pre Plus and Pixi Plus, Bell has dropped the price tag once again on its Palm Pre, but this time to a impressive $0. The catch is you're still required to be chained up to Bell for a whooping 3 years. Or $99 for 2 Years, $199 for a single year or Unlocked for $349. Maybe Sprint should do the same...

The folks over at PreCentral has spotted server logs showing both the Palm Pre and Pixi running on AT&T IPs - running webOS version 1.3.8. But rest assure that webOS 1.4 lands in February. Sprint got on the Pre first, now Verizon gets webOS devices on the network before AT&T, and AT&T is next.

Innovative 3D games on the Palm Pre and Palm Pixi may be just around the corner. With the release of webOS 1.3.5, Palm has apparently slipped in a software library called 'Simple Directmedia Layer' or SDL. What's SDL you ask? It's a cross-platform software library that gives developers a low-level hardware access, so they can add things like accelerated 3D graphics. With all this happening, devleoepr zsoc was able to port the game DOOM onto the Pre with functioning keyboard controls. To get the game on your Pre involves some work with the Terminal app, but the developer promises an easier solution soon.

]]>WebOS 1.3.5 Update is out NOW!http://www.prethinking.com/home/2009/12/28/webos-135-update-is-out-now.htmlDaniel Rodriguez2009-12-29T02:03:17Z2009-12-29T02:03:17Z 

We were expecting to see this sometime between the earnings call and CES next month, but it is available now. The change log is a pretty decent size for how small the actual download is,(13MB) but there are a few much needed fixes there. Some of the bigger features include a removed App Limit, battery improvements, speed improvements on the Pixi, and some new features in the App Catalog. There really aren't too many new features. The update seems to just fix bugs and issues with WebOS but it is exciting none the less. On to the feature list!
