And it’s done. The Pre is now hackable and can be moved over to Verizon. The price for a pre on eBay is roughly $350. Hmmmmm.

Video: Palm Pre caught playing with GSM SIM in Vietnam – Engadget

Posted June 30, 2009 – in: Blog, Cell Phone, Linux, Palm Pre, Technology

WTF! After seeing this I would say that bringing the Pre to AT&T will be accomplished before bringing it to Verizon (at least by hack). Hmmm can I drop my SIM card in it?

Palm Pre gets Doom on the Pre before the iPhone – Kind of

Posted June 12, 2009 – in: Apple, Blog, Cell Phone, Linux, Palm Pre, Technology, iPhone

It’s the first substantial piece of software brought onto the Pre via the Konami Hack. Now Doom has been ported to the platform with relative ease (and a few bugs of course). I knew a decent phone with linux for a brain was an awesome bad idea!

Here comes the Palm Pre reviews

Posted June 4, 2009 – in: Blog, Cell Phone, Linux, Palm Pre, Technology, Web

The PalmPre reviews are coming in. I posted the recaps but you should definitely read the articles. It’s all about the UI. The hardware quality is what seems to be a downer to this phone. I really liked Gizmodo’s take on it compared to the iPhone and my feeling are right in line with the editor.

First Look at Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty Jackalope – Ubuntu 9.04

Posted April 24, 2009 – in: Blog, Linux, Nerdiness

In this review I look at the user-side improvements that come with 9.04. As with my previous review of Ubuntu 8.10, the goal is to look at Ubuntu from a productivity angle, rather than fixating on technological improvements. If you have been away from Ubuntu for a while you might want to read the previous review to catch up on recent developments, all of which are carried through in this release.
