User and developer tips for the Palm Pre and Pixi phones and Palm webOS

To find the daily bargains in the #webOS Amazon MP3 store, look in the Top 100 albums section; they'll be the cheap ones near the top.


Follow @PalmNewApps to get Twitter notifications of new apps and app updates in the webOS App Catalog


RT: @webOSdev: You asked for it, so we did it. You can now follow @PalmNewApps to get updates when we add or update the Palm App Catalog.


Browse webOS apps for the #palmpre apps directly on Palm's site at http://tr.im/CmTe


webOS 1.2 is out for your #palmpre. Go to "Updates" on the phone to download it now.


Search for "webOS20090606" to enable developer mode on #palmpre with webOS 1.1. Easier than Konami code. (Thx @precentral and "Decibel")


To change #palmpre roaming settings, switch to phone dialer, tap on menu in top-left, choose Preferences, scroll down to Network. @joe1blue


Need to keep your Google Map around when out of radio range? Take some screenshots using Orange+Sym+P, then view them in the Photos app.


Find lots of free songs & albums for your #palmpre on Amazon MP3 store by searching for "Sampler". (Thanks, @lemketron)


If you're going to Canada, data roaming for the #palmpre is not included with Everything plans, so turn it off to avoid per-KB charges.


While in the US, turn on "Data Roaming" to allow the Pre to download over Verizon and Alltel networks. No extra charge from Sprint.


Check http://www.precentral.net/homebrew-apps for a catalog of the many homebrew apps that are being developed for webOS on the #palmpre


@ThaTruth816 I've not seen any methods for blocking calls or SMSs that runs on the #palmpre outside of using Google Voice as front end.


To copy current page's URL to clipboard, scroll to top and click on page title. Your URL will be selected and ready to copy. #palmpre


Sprint posts instructions to make your #palmpre voicemail less annoying to callers. Details at http://tr.im/uWRf


Preview in the #palmpre email list view using zoom-in gesture. Details at http://tr.im/ufoj (Thanks @jkontherun and @lemketron)


Turn on geotagging in the #palmpre Location Services preference app; your pictures will contain information about where they're taken.


webOS 1.1 on the #palmpre lets you use emoticons in text messages, it autoconverts many common forms :-)


Go to "Update" to get new webOS 1.1.0 update for your #palmpre. http://tr.im/tQMj


@RandalHenderson There's no setting to increase font size on the #palmpre... all you can do is zoom in on text using a pinch-in gesture.
