Whether you’re carrying an iPhone, Android or Palm Pre device, there’s an app available to access ZumoDrive’s cloud service. This means that you can stream nearly all your media and view most documents over Wi-Fi, 3G, and Edge. More

The stock Palm Pre has an adequate but ho-hum 500MHz processor inside with 256MB or RAM. And even the Palm Pre Plus simply doubles the RAM . So how would the Pre run with a much faster processor? Now we know. More

Is your Palm Pre feeling a bit down? In the dumps? Not as snappy as it used to? Maybe what you need is a megahertz boost! This custom kernel, demonstrated in a video below, comes courtesy of two hackers called unixpsycho and caj2008. One quick install will make your dull and lifeless 1.3.5.1 Pre come alive . Warning: use of this software may “frakk” your Pre if deployed on a 1.4 device

Palm just showed us the Unreal Engine 3 running on webOS, which apparently took a couple weeks to port over to the platform using that fancy new PDK . It runs at a pretty smooth clip, with just a tiny bit of artifacting in our enemy’s death animation. As an added bit of wow factor, Palm has it currently setup to demonstrate the game at 1 fps when in card view. Like most touchscreen shooters, this doesn’t really solve the problem of simulating dual analog sticks, but it’s still a fun and good looking engine for a mobile device. We’re still unaware of any games that have been built for the mobile engine, which has now been shown for iPhone , Tegra 2 , and will be headed to the iPad as well, but we have to assume we’ll be seeing some before too long. Check out the webOS video after the break.

Unreal Engine 3? The graphics engine that powers many, many games (Gears of War, Mass Effect, Arkham Asylum) on consoles today? Ported on to Palm’s webOS? Neat, but not as neat as you’d think.

After a disappointing initial effort , Palm has unleashed version 1.1.0 of its webOS Facebook app. Currently only available via the update function but not the standard App Catalog, users will find new and improved access to their inbox, all their friends’ photo albums, profiles, direct photo uploading, friend search and a list view for upcoming events and birthdays. The first thing we noticed was the initial news feed now matches the notification preferences set on the standard webpage stopping the inevitable flood of Farmville updates we blocked so long ago. Features still missing include chat, video and the ability to respond to friend requests but with a distinctly faster and tighter experience, it’s certainly surpassed the mobile webpage as the best way to access Facebook on the Pre. Can’t reach the update button right now?

Sprint’s 1.4 webOS update for the Palm Pre and Pixi has turned up a day late and a dollar richer, with both handsets now capable of recording video. The Pre also has Flash 10 capability, via an Adobe plug-in. The full list is below, and while it’s just available for Sprinters at the mo, Verizon Wireless Palm customers should expect it sometime soon too. Interestingly, Sprint’s blog post on the update got yanked almost immediately after being published, with forumgoers speculating it’ll be republished later in the day once the update actually goes live. [ Sprint via BGR ] Fixes: * Time Zone bug fixed * Network time sync bug fixed to reflect accurate Network time * Bluetooth car-kit transition to device corrected * No EV icon bug fixed (random) * Random browser formatting bugs fixed * Fixed bug that incorrectly displayed Sprint when actually was Digital Roaming * Missing Contact issue specifically with swap down to 1.2.9.1 or less Feature Updates: * Phonebook Transfer (import & export) * Adds Video Capture capability & edit * Calendar Enhancements * Messaging Enhancements * Improved Performance (Phone & CAL) * Email Enhancements * Notification Enhancements * Adds Adobe Flash 10.0 (Pre Only) * NOTE: The 1.4 software adds the ability to use the Flash 10.0 Adobe plug-in which will be available shortly from the Palm Appl Catalogue

If this leak is true (and it’s boring enough to be true), then it means webOS 1.4 should be hitting soon ( like we thought ). Nothing on here is stuff we didn’t already know, including video capture, Flash 10 support for the Pre, improved speeds and a bunch of small fixes and upgrades.

When Palm issued a release announcing lowered guidance and sales expectations for this year, Jon Rubinstein didn’t even try to cushion it, admitting, “driving broad consumer adoption of Palm products is taking longer than [he] anticipated.” OK. Now what? The implication of “longer than expected” is that success will come if everyone just waits long enough . But to say something like that in February of 2010, over seven months after the Pre launch, three after the Pixi launch, and weeks after a by all counts anemic launch for their barely differentiated Verizon counterparts is to tacitly admit that there’s a serious problem . If Palm’s current lineup doesn’t have momentum now, it never will

It failed to materialize on the 15th, but now PreCentral’s claiming the 25th will see the webOS 1.4 update come good. This is a firmware update worth writing in your diary about, bringing video recording and Flash 10.1 compatibility. It’ll also make the Pre and Pixi slightly faster, and have a few other minor changes not worth explaining. Here’s hoping you’ve got something interesting to film come Thursday, even if it’s just of an iPhone user struggling with their meager non-flash 3.0-megapixel camera. [ PreCentral ]
