Like the sound of webOS 2.0 on the tasty new Palm Pre 2? Don’t get too down about the cheese eating surrender monkeys across the Channel getting it first. We’ve confirmed with Palm UK that webOS 2.0 will be coming to the Palm Pre, Pre Plus and Palm Pixi Plus in the UK “in the coming months”.

Pre owners are set for the full works, but Pixi Plus owners won’t get Flash 10.1 video support – that’s not so surprising considering how low power the Pixi is. An exact rollout date is promised nearer the time, so stay tuned and we’ll let you know as soon as it’s confirmed.

We’ve been roaming the Mojave wastelands for the last fortnight to bring you our verdict: find out what we made of it in our full Fallout: New Vegas review.
