Palm: Unofficial patch voids warranty

Palm is warning that installing on the Palm Pre smartphone an unauthorised kernel, created by two hackers to spur the phone's performance, will likely void the warranty. An online video shows a customised Pre responding immediately and smoothly with multiple applications active, and an "insanely fast" web browser.

The overclocking patches, one for 720MHz and one for 800MHz, are the work of hackers unixpsycho and caj2008. They dubbed the code an "optimised kernel" for webOS 1.4 only on Palm Pre or Palm Pre Plus, not the Pixi smartphone models.
