The Flash plugin for the Pre is not ready yet. I found a blog post dated today that reports this:
It’s official: Adobe’s CEO, Shantanu Narayen, announced in the Q2 audio press release that a version of Flash Player 10 beta will be available for Smartphone’s browsers starting this October (during Adobe MAX) . The FP10 will be available on Google Android, Nokia Symbian OS, Window Mobile and Palm Web OS Pre browsers.

[New Game] 3D RPG for Palm Pre - Crusade Of Destiny

(50% off sale ends TODAY!)
Hey Everyone,
Just wanted to let everyone know my new game is now live in the palm catalog.
Crusade Of Destiny is the first ever full scale 3D role playing game for Palm WebOS!
I worked really hard on the game and I was the only developer. I did not have a team or anything so I did everything myself like making the 3d models and animation, drawing all the art, making the music and sound fxs, writing the code, everything except making the logo, which my best friend designed So I really hope you like it.
If you like the game please leave a 5 star comment to show your support and let me know what you think. It would help a lot, thanks

I got this game last week and I am still playing it. There is a lot of stuff to do. Worth every penny if you ask me

My Wishlist for WebOs Update 1.4.5 - ALL REASONABLE AND Somewhat EASY.

I just bought a Palm Pre and I love it far more than any windows or blackberry phone I ever had and far more than my old iphone. Its also, in my opinion, more of a draw for me than the android is.
And I am sure that even though I am posting this, many users have mentioned this and Palm is aware. But I figure I could voice my opinion and hopefully make these things more of a reality than not. Now basically the options I added would help me to work better with my Pre. But there are some items that just need to be there which are in almost all smartphones these days. I put two ** next to those items. The other stuff would just make my life easier as well as other peoples lives and would put the pre ahead of the competition. I know most of these can be used by adding patches. But its a hassle to have to add them and then remove them everytime an update comes along. So for now, I say go ahead with the planned 1.4.1 WebOS update. But I do think that by 1.4.5, it should have these features.
So here goes:
Contacts:
*Support for LDAP Syncing
*More than one photo
*Add videos of the person
**Categories
**Better search including the ability to search for categories or in general even in the notes.
*An option to link Contacts to their spouses and children.
**Add more options for anniversaries and dates and such and have it show up on the calendar automatically.
*Ability to add a different video and or photo to each type of phone number.
**Ability to Jump to a letter or category.
**A sorting feature to sort by companies, phone number, last name, first name, address, etc....
*Ability to add a middle name as well as a Maiden Name.
*Ability to add more than one note and child.
Calls:
*Ability to customize what details are shown on the call screen, such as what phone number they are calling from, multiple photos or even a video of the person.
**Ability to see Received calls, missed calls, placed calls along with a duration and timestamp. (I know some of these are there already).
*Add a fast dialing system for the first digits 1 through 0. Basically you can assign a number to speed dial. Holding that button will allow the speed dial to dial automatically.
**Before dialing from Missed calls or contacts, let it ask you if you want to call. Dont just call right away.
Verizon Specific:
**Support for Visual VoiceMail
**VZ Navigator 5
*Vcast Videos and music
Calendar:
**Ability to search calendar
**Ability to see colors on month view.
*Year View - This is possible. I have seen this on other devices with smaller screens.
*Ability to add a contact to the Calendar Event.
*Attachments from the calendar.
Messaging:
*Changing the theme of the IM screen.
**Seeing the character and page count as we type
*Automatically changing to MMS to add Video, sound and pictures.
**Ability to beam messages and conversations.
*Ability to not only view as conversations, but also individual messages.
*IM logins for MSN, MSN Live, ICQ, Yahoo Messenger, Facebook.
Camera:
**Add support for Panaramic view
**Add support for digital zoom in and out using the volume keys and multi touch.
**Add an option for Shutter Sound
**Support for Face recognition and light detection.
**Ability to set the resolution of the pictures and videos being taken.
**A menu option for all of this.
*Add features for Focus and Exposure.
*Image modes such as Black and White, Watercolor and other colors.
**Scene modes such as Landscape, portrait, Sunset, Dusk, Night time and Action.
*After taking a photo, let it come up with an option on if you want to save or discard the photo, while it shows you a preview of the image.
**An option to add the photo video to your contacts, facebook, google Orkut, Twitter, MySpace, photobucket and others.
**Ability to send as MMS after taking the photo/video along with an option to resize it to MMS size quality.
*Timer so that the camera can shoot after a specific time.
*An option to add backgrounds and scenery.
Browser:
**iPhone Spoofing.
*Ability to send page link
**Ability to remember passwords and logins
**Ability to type in a new web URL while on any page.
Messaging:
*Smiley faces
Device Settings:
*A setting where you can tell it to never shut off if its plugged in. This way the device is always on while being plugged in.
*Led Notifications.
Launcher:
**Ability to add new pages
**Ability to set how many items are displayed per row
*Ability to have page tabs and either name them or go by number.
*Ability to change launcher background or make it transparent.
**When moving an icon around, can there be a way of doing a cut and paste on the icon, rather than dragging it across screens? One option would be to hold your finger down, it cuts it, then goto the page you want to move it to and click on it and it gets pasted.
New Features:
**An on screen Keyboard
**Many if not all apps and features should support the accelerometer, landscape/portrait and instant flipping.
*An option to control the transitions when flipping with the accelerometer.
*On the launch bar, add an IM icon since a lot of people use that more than the E-mail Icon.
*On the launch bar, Add a speed Dialer contacts view which would display 15 contacts by photo and you can click one to dial.
*An ability to start with the launcher opened or with just a background,
Title Bar:
**Date and time with day of the week: Day of the Week mm/dd/yy hh/mm/ss/am-pm: EG: Mon 2/12/10 11:13:05AM
**Put the percentage of the battery next to the battery icon.
Music Player:
*Add an option for bookmarking.
**Add a scrollbar to move to a position in the song.
*Ability to create your own playlist.
*Ability to find Lyrics online
*Basically whatever the music player remix can do.
Bluetooth:
**Ability to sync with other Microsoft devices.
Volume Settings:
**Add from loudest to quietest to Vibrate to no sound at all. I miss the vibrate option on this phone as a setting.
Enhancements:
**Better battery life
**Faster loading (Even though I think it does well already)
**Bug fixes.
Possible features for programming:
*Support for Allegro
*Support for LUA
*Support for OpenGL (If its not supported currently)
*Support for QT (If its not supported currently)
*Support for AngelScript
If anyone wants to add or agree, go ahead. But please use the same format as I just did. Thanks for listening Palm.

Holy crap your asking for a lot. Some of it I certainly agree with, but, some of it frankly would appeal to too few users or is so much beyond what the competition is offering in the price range that I wouldn't hold your breath. That said, you asked for a few things that are already there that you were perhaps either unaware of or maybe don't function the way you would like them to (in which case be more specific.)
**A sorting feature to sort by companies, phone number, last name, first name, address, etc....
-There are some sorting features available. When in the contacts main screen, press the menu bar and go to preferences. The top option labeled "List Order" is a sort function. Available options are "First Name," "Last Name," "Company & first name," "Company & last name."
*Ability to add a middle name as well as a Maiden Name.
-If you tap the menu bar while editing a contact you will see an option for "Name Details." This will bring up a screen with fields for Prefix, First Name, Middle Name, Last Name, and Suffix.
*Ability to add more than one note and child.
-Not sure I understand the need for multiple notes, but each their own etc... As for child, the field is labeled "Children" I'm not sure why you need anything more than to separate multiple childrens names with a comma. Just curious as to why you want an individual field per child (not judging, just curious.)
*Add a fast dialing system for the first digits 1 through 0. Basically you can assign a number to speed dial. Holding that button will allow the speed dial to dial automatically.
-This is already there. When viewing a contact (not editing), press the menu bar. Second option down is "Set Speed Dial." Once there Palm has done you one better than 0-9 by offering you nearly every key on the qwerty keyboard. Caveat, best as I've been able to determine the press and hold only works in the phone app or home/launcher screens.
*Ability to send page link
-This can already be done. While viewing a web page, press the menu bar, then Page. One of the options is "Share." Selecting this will open a new e-mail with the link and embed a .png thumbnail of the page.
**Ability to type in a new web URL while on any page.
- Unless the system "carat" is in a text field of some sort at the time. Just starting to type will bring up the address box.
*Led Notifications.
- As someone else pointed out, this was added with 1.4.0. It's settings are located within "Screen&Lock" on the 3rd launcher page. I don't know what affect having a 3rd party patch addressing the same functionality would have if you played with the built in settings while the patch is installed.
**Add from loudest to quietest to Vibrate to no sound at all. I miss the vibrate option on this phone as a setting.
- Not really sure what you're asking for here. Volume keys can get you from loudest to no sound at all. There is also a physical switch next to the power button which depending on what you choose in the "Sounds & Ringtones" on the 3rd launcher page can be either silent or vibrate.
*On the launch bar, add an IM icon since a lot of people use that more than the E-mail Icon.
- If you're talking about replacing the e-mail icon with the messaging app, you can do this now. It's done the same way you move icons within the launcher.
*On the launch bar, Add a speed Dialer contacts view which would display 15 contacts by photo and you can click one to dial.
- This can be accomplished by a number of 3rd party apps. Check the App Catalogue.
Okay onto my soapbox:
Contacts:
Yes, LDAP is an old and useful early net protocol. But it's also one that has fallen largely into disuse. Not saying you shouldn't use it or like it, but you may be the first person I've seen even mention it in a good 6-8yrs.
I'm not sure why the need for multiple contact photos. Definitely don't see the need for video other than the play with it once "ooh nifty" factor. You acknowledge it's "gimmicky" and then expect Palm to provide it free as opposed to buying a 3rd party app. That's not something that many people are going to want let alone need. If you want it, and someone agrees with you and wants to develop it then you can pay for it. Personally, I'd rather Palm being a smaller company focus its attentions elsewhere including some of the points on your list.
Agree 100% with categories and better searching as well as the need for birthdays/aniversaries etc. showing up in the calendar.
Calls:
More details would be nice but again I disagree with mult photos or video.
I too would like it to be a little less quick to dial. I'm thinking a press and hold on the screen to dial rather than an additional confirmation prompt. In my mind that would be enough to guard against accidental dialing without being a nuisance when dialing is desired.
Verizon:
Visual VoiceMail would be nice definitely. However it's support may not be a Palm issues so much as a Verizon (and/or what ever subcontractor handles that for them) issue. No comment on VZNav and Vcast, have never and don't use them.
Calendar:
Funny thing about the adding contacts to events. The under-the-hood support for that functionality I've discovered is actually there. It seems there is just no way to access it when creating or modifying existing events. I recieved an mms with an event from a blackberry that had persons attached and when loaded into my calendar I was able to see and IIRC even modify attached e-mail addresses (which Synergy resolved to the appropriate contacts in my phone.)
Messaging:
**Ability to beam messages and conversations.
-Not sure what you mean by this. Beaming used to refer to IR transfers. Pre/Pixi don't have IR transceivers so I'm not sure what it is your asking for.
Camera:
Panorama wouldn't really be useful. The camera is fixed zoom with a physically determined aspect ratio. All Palm could do through software is crop the top and bottom of the image so that what's left is a panoramic looking image. It would not however be any wider a view than what you would getting taking a landscape oriented photo. Unless of course you mean taking multiple photos that would get stitched together which is another matter entirely.
As for the rest, I think your giving a smart phone camera too much credit and using to replace a purpose built camera. I've occasionally seen one or two of the other requests in smart/camera phones but never all. Being a full on camera is just not what they're designed for. Obviously you can ask, but I wouldn't hold your breath for Palm to add those features. The demand is probably not there among the majority of the userbase and targeted demos for the devices.
Launcher:
Everything you've asked for is available in PreWare as a patch. I've got several of 'em installed. The code to add launcher pages was apparently already within the OS and the patch merely enables this existing code. So I imagine much of these requests will be officially enabled at some point in a future webOS update.
Other:
I'm curious, in your follow up post you state that face recognition has been on every other smart phone you've owned. Which phones? I've never seen that on anything other than proper cameras (possible exception may be iPhone 3GS which I haven't played with.) Regardless, don't expect it on the Pre. It's a fixed focus camera so face recognition will do virtually nothing but take up processing power (well could be used for exposure but...)
Not trying to be critical but a lot (but not all) off the stuff you asked for is probably way to niche in terms of the majority of users or potential users for it to be worth Palm to devote resources to over other future features and bug fixes. Some of it might be nice to have (including much of your camera list,) but I'd have to call it low priority since much of it can be done in other ways (off phone) without much difficulty or potentially with 3rd party down the road.

Flash for the Palm Pre

Now that flash is on general release where do I go to download the Palm Pre version?

It seems any post or forum that Adobe doesn't like gets "frozen" out when discussing Flash for the Palm Pre. The missing Palm Pre Flash and the "shift of blame" by Adobe to Palm has been a common theme (see http://forums.adobe.com/message/2748422#2748422 as an example) is becoming tiresome.
Yet if you ask Palm they tell you its nothing to do with them, why would it be? That is such a silly dead-end statement that I suspect Adobe are far to embarrassed by what's actually happened. If they want to prove me wrong then how about they release the flash to me rather than Palm? LOL now, there's a novel idea!
I suspect this has something to do the popular rise of Android, an operating system for mobiles that was still in design when webOS for Palm Pre was already established. It appears, and no one denies, that the demo on the Palm Pre, you know the one, the one that made us all go out and get the Palm instead of the iPhone, was an iphoney.
We have been duped.
While much of the web relies on Adobe technology at the moment the end of their business cycle is in site, not just HTML 5, but sentiment in general. The lack of respect, clarity, accountability and honesty in the main to blame.

Flash for WebOS

Since July (when Adobe missed their promise of "first half of 2010") the Flash install page from my Palm Pre has been saying that Adobe was working with Palm to put the final finishing touches on Flash for WebOs. I've been keeping an eye on the page, anxiously waiting.
Today when I looked at the page, it simply said that Flash was not available for my browser. Does this mean that Adobe has given up on Palm?

So what is the answer to this then? How annoying is Adobe! We will do then we won't…. come on guys sort it out!
If you're not going to do it just say so, you can do it for android, is that because annoying google paid you loads of cash to make them look good?
Come on guys at adobe sort it out.

I'm getting error messages when I download updates for lightroom and flash for the mac. can't figure out how to trouble shoot.

It sounds as if your browser and some of your apps are not color-managed. This is pretty typical. Even IE9 is only partially color-managed.
You can expect color-managed and non-color-managed applications to show you different things with the same images. How different will depend upon how different your monitor color profile is from the image's color profile.
For web publication and most general use, experts usually advise saving images with the sRGB profile. If such images, saved through the Save for Web & Devices function, look different to you than you expect, it may be that your input images have previously been saved in another color space.
You should really try to get your head around color-management by reading more on it. It can seem baffling and it's difficult to understand without some background. A quick web search turns up many overviews. Beware, though, even people writing articles sometimes don't fully understand it.

Video won't run. telling me to update flash player. click on update for mac won't load?

video won't run, telling me to update flash player, click on update for mac won't update. do i need to load flash player and is it ok for mac?

Yes, it's fine for your Mac ...
Most sites such as YouTube require the Flash plugin.
Flash isn't a player per se, but a plugin.
Sometimes uninstalling the current plugin then reinstalling new can help.
Troubleshoot Flash Player | Mac OS
Make sure and uninstall the old plugin first then restart your Mac.
If you use Safari to view videos, from the Safari menu bar click Safari > Empty Cache
Now try a video.

Updating flash for firefox without admin rights

I use Firefox in an environment in which only IE is supported. Every time Adobe updates Flash, I lose the ability to view Flash content in Firefox as I lack admin rights to update it.
I have tried the work arounds and none solve the problem. Previously I would just download Firefox again, reboot, and the update would be there. No longer works.
Is there just no way for Firefox to update Flash internally, especially for users who lack admin rights?
I greatly enjoy using it but if I can can't update Flash, I will have to go back to IE.

Formating flash drive for tv firmware update

How do I format an 8GB flashdrive to FAT/FAT16 format on my MacBook, so that I can use it for a firmware update on my TV?

"FAT" means FAT32, which is MSDOS in Apple Disk Utility
You need a MBR partition map too, so make sure to use the Partition tab and click the big box, options> MBR format MSDOS and click Apply.
You can use all 8GB, but the file size is limited to 4GB sized files.
Traditionally USB's come from the store already formatted FAT32 with a MBR, you shouldn't really need to do anything unless you changed it.
You may need to use a PC to erase the USB and install the TV firmware update, because Apple places a lot of extra crap on drives, ds store files, hidden trash etc that may be interfering with the firmware update.
And another thing, I think Microsoft stopped the autorun ability that one could hook up a flash drive to a pc and it would just start a program, so if the firmware depends upon that you'll need to find a alternate method.
Use a PC, format the USB again, call the the TV maker or consult thier web page.

What is the best way to update flash for my ipad?

J

No Flash for iPads, iPhones, or iPods
Here's why there's is no Flash available for iDevices or other mobile devices. Adobe was unable to provide a product that was suitable to the needs of battery powered mobile devices used for Internet browsing. Existing Flash technology used too much memory, ate battery life, and was buggy. Simply put Flash did not work well on mobile devices.
Apple's Steve Jobs led the escape from Flash dependency when Apple introduced the iPhone, and later introduced the iPad. There was a hue and cry over the omission. Time proved Jobs was right on target.
So this is why there is no Flash for your iPhone or iPad or iPod nor for most SmartPhones. Flash has been abandoned by many sites in favor of supported technologies such as HTML5 or by providing their own custom app.
Here is Steve Jobs official comment on his momentous decision to omit Flash from iDevices: Steve Jobs on Flash.
Here is Adobe's later announcement to cease development of Flash for mobile devices: Adobe on Mobile Flash. Adobe is not providing Flash for Apple iOS devices, and they no longer provide Flash for any other cellular phones. Flash is officially gone.
Now, you are not necessarily out on a limb. There are some apps that can display some Flash, but don't count on there ability to display anything using Flash.
A sample of Apps that can display some Flash content:
1. Puffin
2. SkyFire
3. Photon Flash
4. Browse2Go
5. Swifter
Also, note that many sites that use Flash provide their own app for accessing their material. So check with your favorite sites and find out if "there's an app for that."
