Brighthand has published a full review of MotionApps Classic, the intriguing app that emulates the old Palm OS on the new Palm Pre. Although the Pre has almost nothing in common (technically, at least) with oldschool Palm devices, the company still has plenty of long-time admirers …
O2 has been confirmed as the exclusive carrier of the Palm Pre when it is launched in UK later this year. The device will also be launched simultaneously in Spain, Ireland and Germany.
