Palm’s webOS 1.4 update now available for Sprint, O2 and Movistar phones

No leaks or release date rumors this time, a mere 39mb download is all that separates your Sprint, O2 or Movistar connected Pre from video recording, Flash, enhanced message notifications and much-desired performance and battery life improvements. Verizon, Bell and Telcel customers are unfortunately still waiting for their day in the sun, only specified by the official Palm blog as “soon.” Check out Palm’s trailer for the new features and the full webOS 1.4 changelog after the break, after queueing up the download of course.

[Thanks to everyone who sent this in]

Palm Pixi review

It’s hard to believe that Palm is already pushing its second webOS device, the Pixi, out the door. It seems like just a few weeks ago that we were eagerly awaiting the release of the Pre, a phone that was considered to be the last gasp for the badly ailing company, and now it’s poised to add an entirely new handset to the mix. The Pixi — a sleek, tiny device — seems clearly aimed at the only market Palm has recently enjoyed unfettered success with: the Centro demographic. From the looks of things, the Pixi is positioned to step into the role of the “cheap and cute” smartphone once firmly controlled by the company’s previous (and now discontinued) Palm OS offering. Of course, the landscape in 2009 is very different from the landscape of 2007, with fierce competition — both from outside as well as the company’s own sister product. Can the Pixi find a place in the smartphone race, or does it do too little to distance itself from the pack? We’ve got the answers inside, so read on to find out!

Palm’s Pixi TV spot heads in a new direction, bids adieu to creepy redhead

Palm, somehow finally managing to glean that the creepy, confusing, weirdly not-relaxing spots they’d been rolling out for the Pre weren’t having the kind of impact they probably had hoped for, appears to have turned over a new leaf. Witness the jubilant, effective new holiday campaign for the Pixi. We have to hand it to the ad department — this one actually kind of works. See the full video after the break… and, goodbye creepy lady.

Palm Pixi seen running webOS 1.3.1 on video

We’ve already seen a quick Palm Pixi unboxing and hands-on video, but we’re guessing most folks are looking for a bit more than that in the lead-up to launch day. Thankfully, YouTube user stayfly2407 has come through with a video that, for the first time, clearly shows the Pixi running webOS 1.3.1, which may or may not be the version the phone actually ships with — it was only just recently seeded to developers. The video unfortunately doesn’t show any new features associated with this version, however, but it does seem to be speedy enough even in spite of the Pixi’s slower processor. Head on past the break to see for yourself.

Palm Pre coming to the UK October 16, O2 exclusive

It might be about four months late, but the UK is finally getting its slice of the tasty new Palm pie. There’ll be no shortage of outlets to buy this from, with the Carphone Warehouse, Phones4U and O2’s online shop all stocked up, but the carrier options are limited to just one. You’ll find a table of the available price plans after the break, and you’ll be happy to know that the Pre can be had for free on two-year contracts charging £34.26 per month, which come with “unlimited” mobile data and free access to the BT OpenZone WiFi service. That’s not exactly cheap in itself, but it’s more affordable than hauling in a Hero.

[Thanks, Andrew]

Palm’s bodhisattva says something meaningful in latest Pre ad

Having created an aura of surreal creepiness around its handset, Palm seems ready to talk about the Pre’s features (not just its feelings) in its latest video ad. Whether the change is in response to viewer unrest or a natural progression of the advertising campaign is unknown. But if princess waiffy pants could send a calendar late notification while pulling into a downward facing dog, well, that would be an ad worth watching. Maybe next time. Check the latest after the break.
