Twitter Confirms Push Notifications for Official iPhone Client
Thanks to a small set of users who were accidentally able to preview the feature early, Twitter has been forced to confirm that push notifications will soon be coming to its official Twitter for iPhone client. In response to a query from MobileCrunch, Twitter representatives said that "we’ve been testing push notifications internally...push isn’t ready yet, but we look forward to rolling this out soon.” Of course push notifications are already available from certain third-party iPhone Twitter clients, such as Boxcar, but adding this capability to the read more
Palm Pre Plus, Pixi Plus Now Free on Verizon, Sprint Cuts Likely
Prices on the current crop of webOS devices seem to be falling at a torrid pace, with dual cuts by Verizon and possibly Sprint meaning that almost all four current models can be had for under $50.

AT&T, meanwhile, is already giving away the Pixi read more
TomTom For iPhone Updated, Adds Sharper Maps for iPhone 4
TomTom has announced a updated version of its navigation application for iOS, with the most important improvement being support for the iPhone 4's high-density Retina Display. According to the Dutch-based manufacturer and software developer, version 1.5 "delivers high resolution graphics, sharper maps, more-responsive menus and improved positioning even in areas with limited GPS reception." We're guessing that the improved positioning is due to a combination of the digital compass, accelerometer, and new gyroscope. Also included in the updated app is a read more

BlackBerry news and rumor site CrackBerry is reporting that DavaViz, maker of the popular Documents To Go suite of Office-compatible applications, has been acquired by RIM for $50 million.

With neither company officially announcing the acquisition, read more
