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 “oomph” to handle the new OS. But perhaps all hope is not lost! According to a rep from O2 Germany (as espied on the company’s support forums) HP will make with the new operating system at some point in the near future — just not as an over-the-air update. When the time comes (indeed, if the time comes) you’ll need to download it from HP’s website not your computer and install it via USB. And maybe that will be the point when we discover the joys of running a new OS on an underpowered handset for ourselves! Palm Pre Plus to get webOS 2 after all? originally appeared on Engadget on Mon, 21 Feb 2011 10:49:00 EDT. Please see our terms for use of feeds . Permalink

There are some activities that you’ll simply never be able to get your friends to come along for, and for most groups of social cohorts running 26 miles certainly falls into the “you have fun with that” category. Some try to regale their friends with tales of burning lungs and fiery quads, but Joseph Tame has another solution. He’s created the iRig, a curious contraption containing four iPhones , an Android device of unknown provenance, an iPad , three wireless routers, a weather station, a heart rate monitor, and a silly mock satellite dish up on his head. With all this he plans on livestreaming his entire race using Skype , FaceTime , Runkeeper, and a custom Android app that will send out atmospheric conditions — according to Joseph doing “all this while looking incredibly cool.” We can’t argue with that, but we also can’t help worrying about the chafing that contraption will induce. See for yourself in the video below.
