Palm has decided to give future versions of webOS to developers early so that they can get a head start on verifying the compatibility of their apps. This is a really smart move as we wouldn’t want to have to wait on an app for an update after just updating our handsets.

We are already seeing Palm come through as they have already sent webOS 1.3.1 to a select number of developers. Don’t you wish you could get your hands on an early copy of this firmware as you could with the iPhone? Who knows, the future might prove to be a good one for early adopters of the unfinished firmware.

Palm obviously has a lot of big plans for the future of webOS we just hope that they are able to pull this off before their stock hits its bottom line. Recently Palm hired in Matthew Tippett as a replacement for their AMD Linux Core Engineering Manager.

Again Apple has broken any syncing capability the Palm Pre had when the new firmware was released. If you haven’t synced in a while and would like to do so without purchasing and 3^rd party apps we suggest you do it before updating to iTunes 9.0.2.

For some odd reason still unknown to us iTunes will launch upon connecting your Pre in Media Sync Mode but will not detect your Pre in a sync-able manor. Looks like its Palm’s turn to once again come up with a work around. This game of cat and mouse

is just getting old now. Why won’t Apple just let us have our sync and be cool about it?
