Palm PRE 2?

[messiah143]

Hi Justin,

Im interested to know where are you getting your info? And is the info that your getting can be creditable? It sounds really good and exciting as to what you are posting about the Palm Pre 2. Will this Palm Pre 2 be available on the Sprint network soon or will we have to wait sometime in 2010 or 2011?

I would tell you but I can't sorry. Palm might block the ports so.

Anyways webOS 1.5 (nope not 1.2) is going to overclock the Palm Pre to the stock clock (which is I'm guessing 600MHz and for now downclocked to 500MHz)

Pretty much well I'll post any info that comes up and well I'm not lying here you can say whatever you want

Also just want to say this is all leaked info so basically if all this doesn't become true I'm really sorry

Meanwhile I heard that the next iPhone will feature a dual core processor
Palm has heard to but mostly they might decide on going for a solo core processor with Dual Threading technology

Why?
It saves power plus the processor they are implementing on it is faster (well clock speed wise) since it will be clocked at 1.9GHz

Also Dual Threading will boost the performance by a bit...

Also as Palm puts it dual core processors won't really be needed ona phone and will increase manufacturing costs especially when the Palm Uon is suppose to get HD video viewing (well on it's 720p touchscreen which is really 1025x768)

Also they say the the ARM processors don't suppose advanced features like HD video, advanced 3D Gaming, and alot of other features

Plus the Palm Uon is getting a dedicated video card like I said earlier
So basically a better video card plus a fast solo processor is way faster than a faster dual core processor and a built-in video card

About the dual core fir apple i knew that from before, thats old news, the guy who lost the iPhone in china was holding a iPhone with dual core cpu, I also read that Palm might go dual or quad core, but those are just rumors.

[justinxtreme]

Well I like the idea of dual core CPUs on phones but somewhat it also sounds a bit dumb

I have a iPhone 3GS and its running at 600MHz solo core processor and it's already faster than enough (I even found the iPhone 3G already enough I don't really see why they had to add the 3G S but still a nice addition)

Hey what's up Justinxtreme,

Is the Palm Uon, the Palm Pre 2? And when do you expect the Palm Uon to come out? Will it be on Sprint sometime next year?

Um I don't really know when they are going to release it but they are aiming for a 2010 release

I don't really know what network it will be on... But most likely T-Mobile or Sprint
Cause the Palm Uon is going to be a dual GSM/CDMA phone and well I'm not sure what network but I prefer Sprint over Verizon Wireless when it comes to CDMA networks and T-Mobile over AT&T when it comes to GSM networks

The Palm Uon is like a iPhone 3G.... well basically a expansion

[justinxtreme]

Just like I said... (Well maybe in this post or the other one)

Verizon Wireless may not be getting the Palm Pre because they want to downgrade it (official reports never really mentioned it but this is what VZ wanted to do) so the manufacture cost would be lesser, replace a few things like the App store the Pre has with VCast services. Replace the Media Player with their premade media player (from the LG Voyager), replace the signal bars with their crappy ones, and limit customization and also use a slower processor (no not downclock, use a slower processor the one that either the iPhone 3G or iPhone 2G had)

Meanwhile we can wait for the Palm Uon....

I started this thread and people bashed it left and right. Funny, I read a month ago about a pre sku that is forthcoming by year end that will in fact have some changes...including more storage. Whether this was planned for Verizon, sprint, or who...who knows. We'll see. But I have to laugh when people think this, off all markets, is stagnant in planning. Apple is already several generations ahead in planning, much like Ford, or whoever. You can not survive in technology otherwise.

Hey neogenic
Sorry.... for like basing your thread lolz

Anyways um, Palm expects that by the end of 2009 they'll have around five to ten thousand apps in the App Catalog and by the time it turns one year old (the App Store just turned one year old) it might par up with the App Store app quantity from this year though with more quality apps.... but that's what they think

I realize you were comparing next year's Pre app store with this year's Apple app store, but Apple's app store will be still be growing and developing, can we safely assume?
