You may have noticed a new option on the “App Info” page when submitting or updating your applications – a place to enter a YouTube URL. With the release of webOS 1.4, your application’s page in the App Catalog can now link to a YouTube video about your app. If you place a YouTube link in this field, the [...]

It seems like a long time since we found out about webOS 1.4 and the video capabilities coming with it for our Palm Pre handsets. And apparently the lucky owners of the GSM Pre phones are already getting the update while we still wait here in the US to get our webOS update.
On the [...]

Thanks to the early seepage of webOS 1.4.0 to some GSM Pre owners we can show you what some of the improved aspects of the update look like. A lot of the changes are under the hood, but Shadow-360 of the UK has posted in our forums several screenshots of the newer and recording-er Video app, as well as new options in the reset screen and a much-improved call log that gives you more options and info on your missed calls and sorts calls by caller. Additionally, Media Sync has disappeared from the plugged-into-USB options (no surprise, and no loss since iTunes sync hasn’t worked for months anyway) has been turned off by default, but can be turned on in Settings. As we already heard, Blink Notifications come enabled out of the virtual box this time. Check out some more screenshots after the break!
Update: Also after a break, a video recorded on the original 1.4 Pre in Vietnam by Tomi666. Check out how well it renders the splash. Shadow-360 is also continuing to post more screenshots in this thread.

Multimedia on webOS has always been a bit of a mixed bag. Some files play fine, others don’t. Palm has given webOS users all the basic audio and video codecs to get by, but sometimes that’s just not enough.
Currently webOS supports the MP3, AAC, AAC+, eAAC+, AMR, QCELP, and WAV audio codecs and the MPEG-4, H.263, and H.264video codecs. Nothing more nothing less. However, that certainly leaves something left to be desired by many users.
Zsoc from WebOS-Internals has heard your cries for wider format support. One of the first formats requested was GSM6.10 encoded WAV audio. Some businesses deliver voicemails via email in this format. And now, that coded request has been fulfilled. The GSM6.10 WAV codec is now available in Preware for your downloading pleasure.
That’s not all. Zsoc has managed to successfully add Ogg as well as Flac codecs onto his device however there are still a few issues that need to be ironed out before he works on figured out how to package it up for end users. In addition, he’s made some headway at adding Xvid support, though there are still a few roadblocks to be faced.
So if you’ve been waiting for GSM6.10 WAV for your device, today’s your lucky day. It may not be official, but it’s still top notch quality.

Finally, Verizon wireless is advertising the Palm Pre Plus and Pixi Plus, that’s great news for us webOS followers. But for some reason the carrier wants to enlist our Moms to the webOS platform, saying that these two smartphones are “smart enough for Mom” (see image below).
Now don’t get me wrong here, I really [...]

Now that Verizon Wireless will be selling the brand new Palm Pre Plus with more memory and internal storage, is fair to see how it does against the original Pre. The good folks over at Precentral have done a video showing how good both devices do at opening cards (multitasking).
On the video below you’ll [...]

As most of you already know, Palm and Adobe had promised before that Flash 10.1 is coming to webOS, we just didn’t have an exact date. We still do not have the exact date, but giving us the month of February is good enough, even more so if video recording capabilities come with it.
Apparently, webOS [...]

Back on November 2nd, Palm had a Q & A session on Twitter about the upcoming new webOS phone; the Palm Pixi. And unfortunately, it was just for one hour. So, if you didn’t get a straight answer on that day about the new update for webOS arriving on November 15th, together with the launch [...]

So the Palm Pre is finally across the pond, in Europe, and many of our European friends want to have the Pre in a different carrier than O2. Well, apparently, now they can, although not in a really elegant way I must say. But hey, who cares, as long as they get it with the [...]
