Enable Hulu on the HP Touchpad

When the HP Touchpad first launched, many people were excited to learn that Hulu was fully functional on the device. Unfortunately, soon after HP started the Touchpad firesale Hulu blocked access. Thankfully, the webOS community has rallied together and released a patch to once again enable Hulu access on the Touchpad. A jailbroken or rooted HP Touchpad running webOS 3.0.2 is required to install "Hulu Fix."

Palm Pre Plus Review (Verizon)

This is Marco from Gadget Experts. Today I will be sharing with you my review of the Palm Pre Plus on Verizon Wireless. The Palm Pre costs $99.99 on a 2 year contract. The reason it has a plus at the end of its name is because it has double the memory of the regular Palm Pre on Sprint. The phone's operating system is Web OS, which is a beast at multitasking. If you want to see everything that the Palm Pre Plus has to offer, be sure to watch the video.

Palm is Coming to AT&T

Recently, Palm announced that AT&T customers will have a new smartphone to chose from, announcing that the Palm Pre Plus and the Pixi Plus will be coming to the AT&T network. This is in light of Palm announcing a loss in profit of $22M. Having sold less phones than the pervious quarter, Palm is hoping that expanding their smartphone line to more than 80M AT&T subscribers will boost profits.

 Many bloggers have speculated wondering why people would consider coming to AT&T as opposed to Verizon Wireless or Sprint for these phones. I don’t think this is a case of trying to lure new customers, I think this is a case of offering existing customers a new smartphone. Yes, I’m sure that people are more keen on moving to Verizon, but for customers who are set on AT&T, it just expands the variety of smart phones available to them.

 Based on prices of other carriers, Palm has stated that the Pre Plus will be priced at $149 after rebates with a 2-year contract, and the Pixi Plus will be priced reasonably lower at $49 after rebates and a 2-year contract, which is priced competitively with other smart phones that AT&T offers such as the iPhone and BlackBerry. Palm has not yet released a launch date of this merge, but has said that it will be showing the two phones at CTIA working on AT&T’s network.
