The first Palm Pre advert was back in June and was called ?Flow? well now Palm has pushed out another ?Meet the Palm? advert and we have said advert for your viewing pleasure which is located below.
This new Palm Pre advert take a more simpler approach although I found it somewhat boring and doesn?t really do the Palm Pre any justice, something to put one to sleep
So let?s hope the next commercial for the Palm Pre smartphone takes things to the limits and is far more entertaining than this woman just talking to the screen

For some reason a guy has managed to boot Windows 95 onto an iPhone 3G handset, and we have the video of Microsoft Windows 95 on the iPhone for your viewing pleasure below.
The boot process to get Windows 95 on the iPhone 3G takes a staggeringly long 5 to 10 minutes to deliver an environment that is fairly useless.
Below is the video which demonstrates Windows 95 on the iPhone and within the Mac emulator. Just why anyone would want Microsoft Windows 95 to run on the iPhone 3G is anyone?s guess.

The guys over at GSMArena have now got hold of an official batch of images of the Android platform Sony Ericsson Xperia Rachael in pitch black.
The new official images don?t reveal anything new concerning specifications of the Sony Ericsson Rachael but it does show that Sony Ericsson will be pushing out the Rachael in differing colours.
Obviously the Sony Ericsson PR department wants the Sony Ericsson XPERIA Rachael to remain in the public eye and keep the attention of potential customers; however some official announcement of specs would be nice.

According to an article over on the Dallas News, the latest and greatest Nokia flagship smartphone, the Nokia N97 isn?t easy to love.
Apparently the Nokia N97 is ?complicated, occasionally frustrating and quirky, sometimes tough to control, and at times just refuses to do what you want it to do, and expensive.?
The main asset of the Nokia N97 is its versatility and superb camera although the N97 does come with a lumpy stylus while some of the applications freeze especially Facebook.
Basically the Nokia N97 is a high maintenance phone that needs a lot of thinking about when operating.
So, reader?s is the Nokia N97 high maintenance or do you love it?

Every iPhone toting iPhoner at some stage complains about the life of the iPhone battery, but there are things the iPhoner can do to conserve battery life and the Examiner has come up with a few ways.
The main drain on iPhone battery life is push notification; more so email accounts that are set to push. So setting your email to fetch from a server rather than be pushed will conserve that battery life.
Although iPhone OS 3.0 delivers push notification, many other applications are utilising push and can also go towards draining that battery so disable push on any application you don?t really need it to work on.
Turn off that WiFi or 3G when you don?t need it also turn off the Bluetooth and GPS as they all drain the battery even when not being used. Adjust brightness and turn off auto-brightness as this too with conserve power.
