Pixi news, reviews, software and freeware

Palm has decided to temporarily stop production of Palm Pre, Palm Pre Plus, Palm Pixi and Palm Pixi Plus smartphones. That means that neither Sprint nor Verizon will get as many webOS smartphones in the very future so you'll either have to buy one now or wait until March in case supplies don't lest.

Don't worry though; everything is fine with the company. What happened here is that Palm increased production before February and now it is giving its main manufacturer a break for the following weeks.

You know what your Palm smartphone needs? A new firmware update and that's exactly what it will get. According to recent rumors and leaks it seems that webOS 1.4 will be rolled out on February 15. Given the peculiar date we could always assume that Palm is going to make some kind of webOS-related announcement at MWC 2010 which is about to debut next week.

One of the most important features the new firmware will bring is video recording and video editing capabilities. That's certainly something you'd want to have on your webOS handset, wouldn't you?

We've seen Verizon make the Plus versions of the Palm and Pre official already and now it looks like Best Buy is also going to sell the two smartphones all over the USA. The phones should be available shortly and if webOS is your favorite OS in the world then maybe you'll want to try one on Verizon's network.

Best Buy has not started selling them but reports suggests that various locations already have them in stock so if you're lucky you might get a glimpse of your future Palm Pre Plus or Palm Pixi Plus earlier than expected.

We have previously told you how Verizon will launch the Palm Pre and the Pixi at some point in 2010. Well it looks like Verizon has special plans for Palm's webOS smartphones. The carrier will launch upgraded versions of the phones in question so if you're a webOS fan you should definitely consider getting a Pre or a Pixi from Big Red.

The Palm Pre Plus and the Palm Pixi Plus haven't been officially announced yet but a specs sheet covering both devices has been conveniently leaked.

In case you forgot about it, Verizon will launch the Palm Pre and the Pixi at some point next year. Sprint's exclusivity deal for the Pre is going to expire soon so that's why Verizon Wireless employees are going to go through online training for Palm and webOS.

Nothing is official about the Verizon Palm Pre yet and we have no idea when the Pixi will be sold by Big Red either. But according to some leaked screenshots, the company has begun training its employees on Palm's newest smartphones.

I don't know about you but I would have expected Palm to become profitable already, especially with a brand new OS like webOS out there. But the Pre and the Pixi were obviously not good enough to stand a chance in front of everything else out there.

Although the Pre did put up a decent fight in the third quarter of the year, the handset was quickly forgotten as more and more hot handsets became available in the last couple of months. And the Pixi is nowhere near a hit phone so Palm will definitely not see that much profit off it.

In case you're the happy owner of a Palm Pixi then you should know there's a new firmware version for you. webOS 1.3.2 is apparently now available to Pixi owners so in case you haven't gotten it then you should look for it already.

What's surprising is that the Pre didn't receive the firmware update despite being the better webOS phone of the two. There's no news if the Pre will also get it soon but considering that firmware 1.3.5 is expected in a few weeks we might never see the Pre go to version 1.3.2.

Palm can't be happy with the way things are turning out for the company. Just over six months ago, Palm and its Pre were the talk of the town as everyone envisioned the Pre as a true iPhone killer. We all know what happened in the end and the interest in the Pre has significantly dropped.

The Pixi came along but the second webOS phone is not comparable with the Pre and I'm not convinced it will become a hit phone. Amazon seems to think similarly as the company has slashed the prices for both Palm smartphones.
