Sprint webOS

Faced with the prospect of talking about another poor quarterly report for Palm yesterday, CEO Jon Rubinstein pulled the ol' misdirection play out of his playbook during the conference call as he confirmed that webOS 1.3.5 will be out this month. The upgrade will remove the limit of apps that can be downloaded onto a webOS device, improve the performance of the Pixi, add to the life of the battery and enhance Wi-Fi and apps. No mention was made to improving the performance of the Pre which still behaves in a less than optimal fashion. Let's hope that this doesn't mean that Palm is giving up on its flagship product so soon. It has only been about 6 months and 2 weeks since the latter device was launched and if RIM can turn an Ugly Duckling into a Swan like it did with the first BlackBerry Storm (just compare the Storm from original launch to now with the 5.0 BlackBerry OS), surely the Pre can come closer to the handset we all thought it would be when announced a little less than a year ago.
