Wow, this took a while. Unlocked Palm Pre 2 devices got their webOS 2.1 update in early March. And it's taken a ridiculously long time for it to come to Verizon's CDMA Pre 2. But alas, maybe we should just be grateful that it came at all, considering the Palm/HP transition?

We won't lie: we did feel a little put out when our pal Jon Rubinstein told us that webOS 2.0 wouldn't be coming to the Palm Pre Plus -- something about the older hardware not having the necessary "oo...

Seriously, it’s very tough to not take notice, but we’re seeing yet another spectacular new low price point for Verizon’s Palm Pixi Plus.

Sure we know that some new webOS devices are on the horizon, e...
