Wordpress, my favorite blogging platform.  Palm Pre, a nice mobile device.  Matt found this post on how to install a LAMP stack on a Palm Pre and serve a Wordpress blog from the mobile device:


Server in the cloud or in your pocket, may not be practical but it’s damn cool.  Nice find.

palmWow, last night there was a flurry of activity with the Pre as the WebOS ROM image is now available for download. The crazy cool thing is how you get to the system reset/developer mode using what Engadget/Giz affectionately calls the Konami code crack.  By performing this classic Contra hack, you gain access to the developer mode and well you start to see why the homebrew community is basically orgasmic right now.  In fact the first homebrew app is already online on the forums at precentral.net.  I expect Palm to supply an official reaction to this leak.  For me, it sure would be nice for Palm to pull the application process at their developer site and allow casual enthusiasts like me a shot at the Mojo SDK. This will help alleviate the need to drive toward the homebrew market. I’m just saying…

pampreJust announced by Businesswire.com, Palm will be releasing the Pre on June 6th for $199.00 after a $100 rebate with a two year contract at all Sprint stores including Bestbuy, Radioshack and select Walmart locations.

This announcement seems to be within days of the rumored refresh of the iPhone from Apple. With new handsets from Samsung, Nokia and others all launching this summer, it is looking like a great time to hit the market for a new phone. Hold onto your hats folks, this is going to be fun!

palmFor those who missed it, and there were a lot of us out there today, Palm posted a blog post YESTERDAY, requesting people to sign up and possibly be selected to be a real tester of their phone products for six month.  We all know which phone they are going to offer up.  So hellz yeah I signed up.  Did you?

There is evidence that we may see the Palm Pre sooner than later.  Sad that Mojo SDK is still invite only. Take a look at these images linked to their respective sites:

May 16 at the earliest?

Pres in the wild!

I cannot wait till the Pre is out.  Bryan Alexander at my company will be the first in line to grab one of these bad-ass phones.  Judging by the way Bryan blogs, it should be a wonderful journey to read.
