Roundup: Twestival is tomorrow, Palm talks Pre and patents, Google pays up and more
Here’s the latest action:
Twestival: Bad name, good cause - Tomorrow, over 175 cities around the world will host Twitter festivals (really, meetups) or Twestivals to raise money and awareness for charity:water, a project aimed at giving some 1.1 billion people on the planet access to clean drinking water. To find an event near you, visit the Twestival site. If you can’t go to one, Magnify.net is powering a live video stream found here, and you can donate online.
Palm talks Pre and patents - Chief executive Ed Colligan offered some new details about Palm, namely that the PalmOS is dead (the Pre will run the webOS), you’ll be able to use apps from outside its app store on the Pre and that the Pre may come to other carriers besides Sprint in 2010. But that’s all secondary, what everyone really wants to know is when is the Apple lawsuit coming? Well, Colligan says there is currently no legal action pending with Apple and that Palm has over 15 years worth of patents itself, some 1,500 of them. Patent fight! PreCentral.net has more.
