One of the joys in an open platform is the level of customization one can do. Take for example the overclocking efforts on various Android devices. Even a MHz here and there can do wonders for speed and fluidity. But Android isn’t the only popular mobile OS in town. The webOS folks have a few tricks up their own sleeve, with one of those tricks now also being overclocking.
Why overclock you ask? What’s the point? Well, simply put: It just makes everything better. Apps open faster, games run smoother, and the overall experience is more enjoyable. It’s not all smiles and fluffy unicorns though as those high MHz will eat away at your already challenged battery even faster than before. Another side effect — heat — is kicked up a notch as well.
From personal experience with my overclocked DROID however, both reduced battery life and heat are hardly any concern at all as I still get plenty of *cool* runtime. As always however, tinker at your own risk. Check out the oc’d action in the vid below. If you’re feeling lucky, go ahead and give it a shot and let us know how your Pre takes to a kick in the pants…
