Comments on: Palm Pre Tip of the Day- Open Links in New Browser Window http://gigaom.com/mobile/palm-pre-tip-of-the-day-open-links-in-new-browser-window/ Sat, 11 Feb 2012 20:45:03 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: Dave H http://gigaom.com/mobile/palm-pre-tip-of-the-day-open-links-in-new-browser-window/#comment-422310 Mon, 22 Mar 2010 09:40:54 +0000 http://jkontherun.com/?p=39664#comment-422310 I just tried this voodoo and it sort of worked – hold down orange, tap spacebar, tap link opened a menu – one of the options was Open in New Card which worked. Also for Mauricio it included a Save Image option… Again, this is 1.0.4.

Does anyone know if the Pre can be programed to shut off at a certain time and then turn back on at a pre determined time-I was able to program my BB to shut off at 7 pm and back on at 6 am and my alarm went off at 6:30 am like clockwork – and I could even program it to do m-f and not on weekends

It would be so nice to do that on the Pre save a ton of battery life-now I have to leave on all night so my alarm will go off–

anyone know a hack let me know

Thanks, Wayne

I am using 1.0.4 and I was clicking on links on CNN.

I was just going to ask if that might be the case. Thanks for taking the trouble to shoot a video though. That’s going the extra mile. :)

The site I was testing it on was set to open links in a new window by default, so the space bar was having no effect whatsoever. Sorry again.

I watched the vid Craig, and have no doubt that it works for you. But no matter what I do, it doesn’t work for me. Can you check your webOS version? Mine is 1.0.4, build 129 in the Device Info area.

I could make a YouTube video of it not working if you don’t believe me. ;)

Maybe my Pre is magical.

or
Hold Orange or Hold Shift, tap Period or Space then tap link (while still holding Orange or Shift) opens a new card when browsing.

Hold Orange, press and release space, tap link is a lot easier than hold Orange, hold Space, tap link.

Jeepers, I love this thing! Now all I need is about two hundred more pieces of software!

Very cool!
