Talkin' Palm - Edition 42 3

The arrival of the Palm Pre Plus in the UK (Palm Pre Plus and Pixi Plus Available Soon for O2 Customers in the UK ), buzz about HP's first webOS tablet and the possibility of a HP webOS printer,  and more reviews of the Palm Pre Plus were the main topics talked about this week. There was also quite a bit of interest in the SIM unlock now being available for AT&T Palm Pre Plus.  And speaking of AT&T, we mentioned last week how the Pixi Plus will be available on June 6.  The big question is whether the next day, Steve Jobs will be unveiling the next generation iPhone at the Worldwide Developer's Conference AND if AT&T will remain the exclusive carrier.

Let's talk Palm...

• PocketLint: Palm Pre Plus Review:
  "With most of the competition going for metal framed or metal covered handsets, it's strange to have a phone in the palm of your hand that is still made so completely of plastic. Plastic front, plastic back, plastic keys, plastic covers, plastic, plastic, plastic. The design on the whole has been retained from the Palm Pre aside from a few design choices here and there."

• Bell Slap Down:

Check out the page in question right here and start scrolling. As you can see, Bell offers the iPhone, BlackBerry devices and ooooh, the Motorola Dext. Clickable buttons are available for each platform, allowing you to explore more devices and apps available for each. But wait… Where’s the Pre and all of the App Catalog apps?"

Ponderables…

No iPads in Yankee Stadium

Steer clear of Yankee Stadium if you cannot break away from your iPad for a few hours. The stadium has a policy that prohibits fans from bringing laptops inside, and iPads are included in that ban. The team said it was a security-and-safety issue. Yankee Stadium is among the most tech-savvy parks in the majors. Every player has a computer screen at his locker, in fact.

Palm Pre and Pixi phones are still ok, of course :D
