Wow, that's bloody fast for a 1 year old phone. The Pre's got some life in it yet! :-)]]>Jun 28th 2010 5:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/palm-pre-breaks-the-1ghz-barrier-with-insane-custom-kernel/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/palm-pre-breaks-the-1ghz-barrier-with-insane-custom-kernel/
The next HPalm device will determine whether I stay with the best OS out there. Has to be a homerun guys. Form factor aside - the specs DO matter. Needs to be within range of EVO/Incredible/iP4 hardware to compete. Lag is no longer acceptable in the mobile market :)

In other news - Govnah and UberKernel are updated today, enjoying the new compcache feature :)]]>Jun 28th 2010 5:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/palm-pre-breaks-the-1ghz-barrier-with-insane-custom-kernel/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/palm-pre-breaks-the-1ghz-barrier-with-insane-custom-kernel/
WebOS should be a compulsory subject of discussion in marketing 101 classes for the next century. It is infinitesimally superior to both iOS and Android but nobody even knows about it, all thanks to crappy marketing.]]>Jun 28th 2010 5:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/palm-pre-breaks-the-1ghz-barrier-with-insane-custom-kernel/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/palm-pre-breaks-the-1ghz-barrier-with-insane-custom-kernel/Jun 28th 2010 5:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/palm-pre-breaks-the-1ghz-barrier-with-insane-custom-kernel/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/palm-pre-breaks-the-1ghz-barrier-with-insane-custom-kernel/this x 1000. weird scary blonde pictures in textbooks everywhere.]]>Jun 28th 2010 5:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/palm-pre-breaks-the-1ghz-barrier-with-insane-custom-kernel/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/palm-pre-breaks-the-1ghz-barrier-with-insane-custom-kernel/Jun 28th 2010 5:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/palm-pre-breaks-the-1ghz-barrier-with-insane-custom-kernel/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/palm-pre-breaks-the-1ghz-barrier-with-insane-custom-kernel/Don't you mean infinitely superior?]]>Jun 28th 2010 5:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/palm-pre-breaks-the-1ghz-barrier-with-insane-custom-kernel/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/palm-pre-breaks-the-1ghz-barrier-with-insane-custom-kernel/

As much as I love my EVO and wouldn't trade it for anything that out now (or even rumored), I can't help but reminisce about my WebOS days. WebOS is an outstanding platform. ]]>Jun 28th 2010 5:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/palm-pre-breaks-the-1ghz-barrier-with-insane-custom-kernel/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/palm-pre-breaks-the-1ghz-barrier-with-insane-custom-kernel/Jun 28th 2010 5:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/palm-pre-breaks-the-1ghz-barrier-with-insane-custom-kernel/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/palm-pre-breaks-the-1ghz-barrier-with-insane-custom-kernel/
WebOS is what keeps me on the Pre, even though Evo is tempting, but I realize HTC makes Sense and Motorola makes Motoblur as Android "overlays" for one reason: Android is ugly.

iPhone iOS? Still just a flat array of tiles. No imagination, no personality to it. Fucking dull as all get out. Just so very uninspiring. App. Homebutton. App. Homebutton.

iOS is a lot more than what you make it out to be but hey whatever.

webOS is nice and I hope HP/Palm creates something awesome for it but until then I'm sitting pretty and very comfortable with my iPhone 4.]]>Jun 28th 2010 6:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/palm-pre-breaks-the-1ghz-barrier-with-insane-custom-kernel/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/palm-pre-breaks-the-1ghz-barrier-with-insane-custom-kernel/

Yes, it needs better hardware but I'd argue that the OS needs much more refinement. There are too many performance issues (and bugs) relative to the competition (iPhone and Android).]]>Jun 28th 2010 7:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/palm-pre-breaks-the-1ghz-barrier-with-insane-custom-kernel/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/palm-pre-breaks-the-1ghz-barrier-with-insane-custom-kernel/Jun 28th 2010 11:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/palm-pre-breaks-the-1ghz-barrier-with-insane-custom-kernel/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/palm-pre-breaks-the-1ghz-barrier-with-insane-custom-kernel/Jun 29th 2010 12:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/palm-pre-breaks-the-1ghz-barrier-with-insane-custom-kernel/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/palm-pre-breaks-the-1ghz-barrier-with-insane-custom-kernel/
I am bought, why can't palm/hp ship this version for real, some minor hardware fixes maybe needed. But I am totally impressed. This WebOS truly rocks, unbelievable number of apps running in the background and even during this overloaded video the battery really only dropped 3-4% and considering most people wouldn't run it as hard in reality - I want one now.]]>Jun 29th 2010 6:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/palm-pre-breaks-the-1ghz-barrier-with-insane-custom-kernel/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/palm-pre-breaks-the-1ghz-barrier-with-insane-custom-kernel/Jun 29th 2010 7:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/palm-pre-breaks-the-1ghz-barrier-with-insane-custom-kernel/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/palm-pre-breaks-the-1ghz-barrier-with-insane-custom-kernel/Jun 28th 2010 5:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/palm-pre-breaks-the-1ghz-barrier-with-insane-custom-kernel/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/palm-pre-breaks-the-1ghz-barrier-with-insane-custom-kernel/Jun 28th 2010 5:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/palm-pre-breaks-the-1ghz-barrier-with-insane-custom-kernel/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/palm-pre-breaks-the-1ghz-barrier-with-insane-custom-kernel/Omg!!!!! 2 whole seconds. ]]>Jun 28th 2010 5:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/palm-pre-breaks-the-1ghz-barrier-with-insane-custom-kernel/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/28/palm-pre-breaks-the-1ghz-barrier-with-insane-custom-kernel/
