According to a few reports, Palm has started to push webOS 2.1 to some devices. The update is far from being widespread, but it’s been seen on the Sprint Pre, a Palm Pre 2 and a Rogers Palm Pre 2. No update here on an AT&T Palm Pre Plus, but that doesn’t leave us not hoping for some pre-event goodness.
Anyone else seeing the webOS 2.1 update?

Palm has been working on bring all the goodness of webOS 2.0 to all current devices, including the original Sprint Palm Pre. Reports on speed say it’s “not fast enough“, but we’re reminded that it’s still a beta. Engadget provides a gallery of screenshots. We are also seeing the debut of much needed voice calling. No word on when this will release, but we’ll let you know.

If you’re in the market for an leather sleeve case for your Palm Pre, Palm Pre Plus or even Palm Pre 2, then I’d suggest you head on over to Verizon Wireless toot sweet. They have limited supply of a Palm Pre Plus leather sleeve for the price of $2.97. That price includes overnight shipping. If that’s not your style, our very own everythingpre Store offers the largest selection of Palm Pre cases and accessories with prices starting at just $9.95. All of our cases and accessories are backed by our 30-day guarantee.
The original Palm Pre is getting a bit long in the tooth, but up until today it’s been capable webOS phone on Sprint. Sprint’s reluctance to offer a follow-up device (Palm Pre Plus, Palm Pre 2) has been well documented, but now the Palm Pixi is the only option for those looking to purchase a webOS phone on Sprint. Yes, the original WiFi-less Palm Pixi. It would be wishful thinking that perhaps Sprint has been hiding the Palm Pre 2 from us all, but we don’t get that feeling. Perhaps some of those mystery references found in webOS 2.0 source code will find their way to Sprint early next year. We’ll be at CES providing all the coverage of the yet-to-be announced HP Palm event.

Just when we thought there wouldn’t be a new webOS phone this year, Engadget comes across the P102UEU. The sleuths over at PreCentral forums have noted this has a 1Ghz processor, it’s a slider form factor and it is Touchstone compatible. This leads us to believe that we are looking at some sort of follow-up to the Palm Pre. Since we’ve had the plus, perhaps this is the Palm Pre Deux.
There is no guarantee that the P102UEU we are looking at is indeed one of the phones HP talked about as coming next year. Right now, it’s a wait and see.
