TweetSo far many have not seen the use for that little pearl button on the Pre. Personally I admire it but as it stands, it doesn’t do anything, not even blink when I get a notification such as a new voicemail, text message or IM. Well thanks to this hack that can be changed. Just be prepared to do some real serious hacking to get this to work...

TweetWe’ve been wanting video recording on our Pre since day one, especially seeing how the iPhone got it back in June. Unfortunately Palm is either not interested or busy making bringing their App Catalog out of beta. That said, there have been discussion for quite sometime seeing if the feature could be hacked. Well just today we’re getting...

TweetPalm Pre webOS onscreen keyboard We all know how annoying it is to have to slide out that QWERTY keyboard to enter a few lines of text, and although the physical keyboard is a lot better then that of one particular phone, it would be awesome to have an onscreen option for those times when you only need to input a few words. Well it seems like the...

TweetInstall Homebrew apps VIA Desktop application for Mac and Windows We know Palm is dragging their feet in getting those loooong awaited apps to the app store. But in the meantime, the Pre community has beenbusy creating apps of their own that can be installed on the Pre without the need to root the device. But doing the action has gotten a whole...

TweetIts not like we are 100% surprised that this has happened since it has been done on multiple other devices. But anyways its refreshing to see that Sprint is not the only one who can run a Palm Pre (as much as we like Sprint’s and Palm’s romance). That said, clenser from the PreCentral forums has actually hacked the Pre and has it running...

TweetwebOS Homebrew app, xBox Live While the webOS update 1.0.4 did fix some vulnerabilities, it did lock up the loop hole that allowed dedicated Pre fans to install homebrew apps without rooting their Pre. Well the hack is back and you can thank the Pre gods that you won’t need to learn all that nasty coding that some of us actually have to do....

TweetDon’t you just love the hacking community? This latest bit of news comes from ZodTTD who has been successful in actually getting a PlayStation emulator running on the Pre. What’s more interesting is the fact that it beats the performance of the iPhone. We always knew that both the 3GS and the Pre shared similar internals, but here is...

TweetPalm Pre as webserver There is a reason why its called a smartphone, and unless you can hack it and turn it into a device that serves webpages to the mass public (i.e webserver), it isn’t saying anything. Well seeing that webOS is a Linux build we would naturally expect that very soon someone would do just that. Thankfully that day has come...

After you have been wowed by it you can check the link below from the Pre Dev Wiki for the full details on the hack. As usual, we say do this at your own risk. INSTRUCTIONS: Pre Dev Wiki

Tweet For those who have been wondering why you cannot download our Pre Wallpaper Collections or any other file for that matter from their Palm Pre browser, we have an answer. Turns out that the functionality is there, but it has been turned off by default. But thanks to the great hacking experience afforded by the Pre there is a way to enable it. Albeit,...
