In our AT&T Palm Pre Plus Review, we briefly touched on the battery life on the little GSM webOS wonder. Since then we’ve been finding that our battery life seems pretty decent. PreCentral reader Chris joined a small cast of people to email us to say that his experience with battery life is the same, which is to say pretty darn good.
Got us wondering that maybe, just maybe, the GSM variant of the Pre Plus does a slightly better job with battery life than its CDMA cousins. Even when I’m not using my extended battery for the Palm Pre, I’m getting a full day of light to medium usage. AT&T Palm Pre users: chime in!

If you live in the United Kingdom and consider yourself to be a fan of British television, then we may very well have the ticket you’ve been looking for. TVCatchup is looking for Palm webOS beta testers for their live streaming service. Currently they have both an iPhone app by the same name that allows you to watch the UK’s top 15 channels live, and they’re looking to expand that service to modern smartphones including the webOS platform. Testing is expected to take only about 5-10 minutes, though you’ll be free to watch as much live streaming TV as you like. Wi-Fi and 3G will be required of all testers, as will UK residency. Time to put that brand new O2 Pre Plus to use, eh?
Thanks to Martin for the tip!
