Classic v2.0 release now complete! As we already posted, Classic ROM update has been released last week and brought HotSync to Classic on Pre. We were waiting for the Mojo part and would like to let you know that it is now available. You can complete the update by downloading it from Classic listing in the App Catalog.

Besides HotSync in v2.0 many of you already successfully use (a detailed tutorial is available here), by completing the update you get more features and surprises: full screen mode, quick keyboard mode switch, improved reset functionality, reduced power consumption when idle and more. The complete list of v2.0 features and improvements is available at Tech Spec page on our website.

The favorite new feature in Classic v2.0 might be preloaded ClassicApps, a bundle of free Palm OS applications that you can get if you simply tap Install Free Apps option from the Classic menu.

When download and installation are completed, you will be able to use some of the most popular Palm OS applications through Classic on your Pre. Some of them are completely free while some are time-limited trials. Here is the list of apps that you get with a single tap in Classic:

A complete list of the Palm OS applications bundled with Classic can be found here .

Classic is one of the most used applications on my Pre. Now with the ability to HotSync it really is having two of the best smartphone operating systems on one device. If you have a Pre, do yourself a favor and get Classic. It will open your Pre up to the thousands of Palm OS applications already available.
