The latest version of Palm webOS is launching initially for Sprint Palm Pre and Palm Pixi customers in the US. Palm webOS 1.3.5 offers improved performance and enhancements for several features, as well as more consistent performance for Palm Pixi. Notable improvements include:
• Room for more apps: You can now download and store gigabytes of applications, effectively eliminating the limitation on the number of apps that could be installed.
• Better battery management: Users in areas with marginal network coverage may see improved battery life.
• Palm Beta App Catalog improvement: Searching for and downloading apps have been enhanced.
Additional details about the update can be found here for Palm Pre and here for Palm Pixi. Follow @palm on Twitter to be notified whenever updates are available on your carrier.

Remember that Google was going to be very strict over what type of hardware was going to run the forthcoming Chrome OS? Put away the rumors that it was going to to be pricey, we have the data.According to Gizmodo, the netbook is rumored to sport a chip set of the Tegra stripe with an ARM processor. The Zune HD also runs on Tegra, but expect this netbook to be on a faster set of chips.It should have a multi-touch 10.1 inch screen, a 64 gb SSD, and two gigabytes of ram.Of course, the netbook will be baked with all sorts of Google-goodness, given that Chrome OS is a Google driven project, open source or not.Best part: this netbook is supposed to be subsidized by Google, bringing the price to, get this, $300. Quite the sweet deal, right? Google will be selling them directly. In some places, they will bundled with wireless carriers, to have built in connectivity everywhere.Of course, we have no firm confirmation at this point, but if this turns out to be true, who is going to be mooning over the loss of the Crunchpad? This is much better.

New leaked OS for blackberry tour 9630 I will post the link in my twitter page so if your not following me go follow me @Techsheet.
DISCLAIMER: Install at your own risk. This is Leaked/Beta software that is not guaranteed to be stable, and therefore will not be supported by RIM or your wireless carrier should you run into some problems. As a precaution, if you decide to upgrade, it is highly recommended that you make a backup before using this software. If you are not comfortable using Leaked/Beta software you should probably wait for the next official release. *
Well, ok then. Got a new BlackBerry Curve 8530 and want a newer OS then what is on it now? 5.0.0.386 has now leaked online and is said to be the OS that TELUS will officially launch with. Again, not technically offcial as of yet but could end up being. Disclaimers have to be tossed in there for this one as well. *OS Disclaimer – Please Read: Keep in mind this is NOT an official release and as such is not supported by RIM or your Carrier. If you choose to install, do so at your own risk and only if you’re comfortable in the process of upgrading and downgrading your device software. It is quite normal during operating system development for certain features to be crippled or disabled while others are tested, and these beta builds often reflect that. They are not always better. Depending on your BlackBerry comfort level, it may be best for you to wait for community feedback on a build before deciding to download and install for yourself or simply wait for the next official release. If you require support, you will find it in our CrackBerry forums via our extremely knowledgeable community base – do not contact your carrier or RIM for Beta OS technical support (their first course of action will be to advise you to downgrade to a supported OS). Follow the links below for more information and instructions. *

Watch out Chrome OS, Jolicloud means business. The cloud-based netbook operating system is feeling the heat and stepping it up, announcing their pre-beta release late last week.
So, why is Jolicloud worth a look? Compatibility with “almost every netbook” is a good first step. In addition, the developers are touting a really fresh and updated UI and an entirely cloud-based structure. The pre-beta release adds some cool functionality including a much easier installation process. Originally only available for install via a USB stick or .ISO image, Jolicloud’s developers are planning to release “Jolicloud Express”, a way to partition your drive and install the OS right on top of your Windows installation. This makes removing it nice and easy and simplifies some issues people have been having with the installation. The developers are really excited about the release and will be pushing out more invitations soon. When asked why they’re building it, they had one thing to say:
The convergence of the cloud, mobile connectivity and affordable netbooks is powering a computer revolution that everyone can be part of. Together let’s build Jolicloud and make it one of the driving forces in this revolution.

would the chrome os be classified as a an official os or as just a really smart advanced browser. My opinion I think that it is just really a sofistacated browser that holds all your information in the clouds. Which that makes me wonder if goole is going to allow to hold all your info in the clouds. We won’t offically know until more realeased I will tell you all the info I know if I hear something.
