Though that your old Palm device is outdated by now? Well hold your horse as Palm developer advocate Josh Marinacci has announced on stage at webOS Developer Days in New York that webOS 2.0 will be coming to “all” Palm devices in “the coming months.” There’s no specify of which Palm devices, but probably those legacy ones are out of the list. It would be a very big surprise and laugh if your Treo 650 or Palm 3 is still around and alive. Mr Marinacci would most probably be referring to those Pre, Pixi, Pre Plus, and Pixi Plus.

Interested with the Palm Pre 2? Nobody can blame you because some ignorant faggots will call you a cheapskate follower or an iFag once you get hold of the iPhone 4. But then maybe you’re not the type that’s interested in a 2-years string-attached relationship with your carrier. Have no fear, because the Palm Pre 2 might just be that awesome. HP’s online outlet is ready to ship out the unlocked GSM Pre 2 loaded with the new webOS 2.0. HP will ship it to you in exchange for $450 and if all goes to plan, you could be swiping cards off your home screen in buttery smooth fashion by this time tomorrow. And if you’re a dedicated webOS software developer, then HP loves you more. They’re going to shake off $200 from the price because you’re going to make their webOS awesome.

Rumour has it that the much anticipated Nexus S will have a dual-core mobile processor. Perhaps you should believe what they say, because next year’s probably the year of dual-core smartphones. This year we see 1GHz mobile processor in nearly every single smartphone, so next year’s smartphone should be dual-core, according to Qualcomm at least. That’s because they’ve teased the upcoming Snapdragon processor, and its 28nm dual-core madness. Read more…

Yes, Apple might have their Retina display to boast around, but now everything’s in 3D yo. That’s because Sharp’s autostereoscopic 3D is coming to a smartphone near you next year. Sharp plans to debut their Softbank-bound Galapagos 003SH and 005SH Android handsets next month, but Sharp has also confirmed its intention to also bring it Stateside as well as to two of the world’s most populous nations in China and India.

It’s not yet exactly clear what handsets those markets will be getting, but if you’re looking for further signs of Sharp’s expanding international ambition, the company’s reported to also be contemplating extending its e-reading tablet platform out to the US and China. Things seemed to be starting to heat up since Panasonic will also start venturing into smartphone territorial next year.

Panasonic may not be new to the world of mobile phones, but it has been rather quiet in the smartphone explosion that has taken place. But fear not, as the people who brought you the cute GD50 and the clamshell GD88 will be back very soon. Speaking at a news conference yesterday, the ‘Taicho’ of Panasonic’s mobile division, Osamu Waki, admitted flatly that the company “misjudged the speed at which smartphones would be taken up in the Japanese market,” and that “with the rapid shift to Android, we want to catch up quickly.”

Exact particulars on how it gives the iPhone (and the WinFags since we already have iFags) a good cat fight is still not clear, but Panasonic’s phones will indeed be based on Android, and it seemingly hopes to distinguish them from the overcrowded market by emphasizing their networking capabilities with other Panasonic products. Lumix-services anyone? As for when the first ones will roll out, Panasonic plans to kick off sales in Japan sometime next year, with overseas markets set to follow in 2012.

Yes, the Palm Pre 2 has been launched only recently, but the team in Palm sure didn’t only undergo that project when they develop the WebOS 2.0. Homebrew hub WebOS Internals spent last week digging through SFR’s webOS 2.0 build for the Palm Pre 2, and surfaced with the names Broadway, Windsor, Mantaray and Stingray, as well as the Roadrunner. More telling, these five codenames appeared in a string designed to display the message “temporarily not restoring logs for newer devices,” which means these projects are rather new in the company.

Right, just as everyone’s thinking that Symbian would die soon because Samsung pulled out, and Apple’s iOS is battling fiercely with Google’s Android, and everyone’s leaving behind Symbian. Now here comes the knight in white shiny armour. Read more…
