Cracking Palm's WebOS via text message
Software on which the Palm Pre is based is "riddled" with dangerous security flaws, according to researchers who say they cracked the operating system via text message.
Palm's WebOS, the software on which the company's Pre smartphone is based, is "riddled" with dangerous security flaws, according to security researchers who said they were able to crack the operating system via text message.

The firm also published a video demonstrating a Palm Pre being cracked via text message.
