According to the report, Jobs first became concerned over the practice when Jon Rubinstein was brought on board the then-sinking Palm mothership:

"Steve Jobs, Apple's CEO, told Colligan he was concerned that Rubinstein was recruiting Apple employees. "We must do whatever we can to stop this," Jobs said in the communications. "

Monthly orders for the Eos, which features a 2.6-inch multi-touch display and supports GSM/HSPA initially, will reach 400,000-500,000 units, which will help drive up Compal's revenues starting in the fourth quarter, the paper said, adding Compal will also begin to ship a CDMA EV-DO version of the Eos to Palm in the first quarter of 2010.

The Missing Sync for Palm Pre beta is available now and is free during the pre-release period. The software is also available for Mac users.

Palm expects to launch the full developer program in the US this fall and more specifics on the program are still being worked out. Further information can be found on the Palm Developer Network Blog and we've posted some of the bullet points after the break.

The second webOS game is a card game called Spades. As the name implies it is a version of the classic game spades. It includes four different game variants (Partner, Solo, Suicide or Mirror). It is a free, ad supported title. The developer, Bytesequencing, has also posted details of two other games that are due soon a Video Poker sim and a ballon popping game.

"We think that the Pixie, which we believe is being geared for AT&T (T) and has a different form factor than the Pre, is not likely to be available for the 2009 holiday season, [...] We do not have significant unit assumptions for this product given the continued success of the iPhone at AT&T."

The application is now listed in the Palm App Catalog. The PC component is available from Chapura and costs $29.95.

First up, you can check this PDF to see that a new version of the Pre has been certified by Wi-Fi.org. That's where the hunt begins, as the unit certified here is P100UNA - Calvin notes that this matches up with the Treo Pro GSM version, T850UNA - the U is for UMTS, the NA is for North America. In other words, there's a version of the Palm Pre GSM that Palm is at least getting certified for US use (a strong indication it will support US 3G).

Not enough? How about this Bluetooth Gadget Guide listing with the P100UNA and P100UEU (that'd be UMTS-European Union) entries? That could indicate that there will be separate version, but remember that there's a UNA and UEU version of the Treo Pro as well, add in Palm's limited resources and we're expecting one model for both regions. Note also the P100UEU was seen on that Pre Spy Shot in Vietnam.

Game developers: Now's your chance to help Palm shape the future of mobile device game development on the webOS platform. Visit our latest developer forum, the webOS Game Developer Café, and tell us and the rest of the community about your webOS game development efforts.

The developer Jason Robitaille has posted a thread containing instructions on how to get setup. Depending on your system you may need to download additional files or change some settings before everything connects. Read on for the rest of our guide and recommendations.

Via Tech Trader Daily, Morgan Joseph analyst Ilya Grozovsky writes in a research note that his checks find Pre sales in July were down to about 100,000 units, from 200,000 in June - and that August is tracking to be even lower than July. He cut his estimate on Pre untis for the August quarter to 350,000 from 400,000, which already was low relative to Street expectations. He also contends that non-Pre shipments in the quarter were lower than expected due to cannibalization by the Pre.
