Latest Preware Service Is Fair Dinkum, Mate

Palm Pre Review Look, if you own a Pre and you don't have Preware installed by now, you are positively insane. Aside from allowing direct OTA access from your device to hundreds of free homebrew applications, patches and themes, the underlying Package Manager technology has just added two sexy new features to its repertoire: complete integration of the Fair Dinkum app limit breaker, and automatic loading of the correct patches feed for whichever version of webOS you have installed.

This means that owners of the slightly-backward webOS 1.1.3-toting GSM Pre - such as your correspondent - can now safely install patches from Preware, knowing they're going to work seamlessly. And everyone will be able to enjoy the benefits of a slightly-less-ridiculous 100MB free space (in the /var partition) limit, rather than the palty 64mb-total Palm saw fit to grant us. Download the stand-alone installer now!
