Question How do you get wallpapers from this site on to the Pre?

Also, how do you get pictures from a file on my computer to the Pre?

These are both questions I would appreciate answers to.




Thank You.

Thank You.
Visit the Palm Pre wallpapers from your computer. If you are logged in, you'll notice a download icon underneath the picture. Click on it and download the wallpaper to your PC/Mac.

Plug in your Palm Pre and select USB mode. Drag any downloaded wallpapers to the 'wallpapers' folder on the Pre.

That's it!

-Chris

Does the Pre have the capability to download the file directly from the website to the device?

You cannot download images via the browser. Hopefully, they'll add this feature down the road.

What I did was download the wallpaper to my computer and then emailed it as an attatchment to my gmail, which I then opened from my Pre and was able to download the file. The file went directly to the photo gallery of my Pre and then I was able to set it as my background. Hope this helps!

The "drag and drop" method mentioned above will get it done.

As of WebOS 1.2 you can download the wallpapers directly to your Pre.
