Think you’re going crazy waiting for new webOS hardware? Well, not as crazy as THIS guy!
Those of you who were there for the birth of webOS are probably familiar with ReleaseMyPre, a guy who posts comical scare tactics to get Palm to announce forthcoming information on upcoming hardware. His other videos were pretty damn funny… especially the Mothers Day episode.
After months of going underground, he’s making a comeback… Show some love and check out the YouTube video below of his latest: “We want A Release Date for the New Palm Pre!”
… Or as Releasemypre would say it, “I brought you a clip.” 
Video after the break!

Imagine you’re listening to music on your webOS device equipped with high-end sound components by Beats. Now start smiling. Now bounce. See how nice that feels? Ever since HP released Beats technology into their Envy line of laptops, we’ve been salivating at the thought of the same technology existing in our mobile devices… you know, the things we carry around with us daily? Well, the folks over at Billboard had the same thought and posed the question to Carlos Montalvo, VP of Program Innovation Office in HP’s Personal Systems Group:
“HP has bought mobile device maker Palm and mobile music service Melodeo. Do you expect to expand your Beats and music initiatives to mobile devices?”
Montalvo of course was mum on the subject of upcoming devices, but he made a point to opine that “today, mobile fidelity is not being met by the current range of products.” He also adds: “we think there’s a great opportunity to leverage everything we’ve learned on the PC for other consumer electronic devices… There will be more announcements in the future of where we go with that, but obviously music is an integral part of any music experience.” … Fun stuff. Will it happen on a tablet? Heck, almost their entire line of TouchSmart computers have Beats, so it stands to reason that we could see it. … webOS phones?? Let’s keep our fingers crossed. (P.S. We know this would apply to future webOS phones. Please forgive the creative license – or lack therof – that we took with the 1st gen Pre!)

Here is something fun. Tonight our beloved @Adora (aka Lisa Brewster) tweeted that Palm was hiring. Low and behold the great Jason Robitaille is making his play.
Jason is an amazing dev in the Homebrew scene and deserves some love.
It seems one of his fans agrees and has created a Facebook group to give Palm a little nudge. Become a fan!

Best of luck, Jason!
