Information leaking out of Verizon Wireless indicates that this carrier will soon be offering an enhanced version of the Palm Pre. The unveiling of this new model could come as early as next month.

Verizon Wireless is gearing up to launch the Palm Pre early next year and is also making upgrades to its network to accommodate the Apple iPhone, according to reports today.

By opening up app development and marketing, Palm's hoping to turn the ship around next year and stop losing money. Palm also wants people to understand why its Pre and Pixi phones are better than the competition.

Palm's developer program is going fully public at the CES trade show in January, and Pre and Pixi owners will learn about an important WebOS update for their phones...

Palm reported a drop in earnings for its fiscal 2010 second quarter, but the handset maker hopes news about an updated webOS will encourage the market.

Palm's Project Ares, a browser-based development toolset for Palm webOS applications, has moved to a public beta stage, a Palm representative said on Thursday afternoon.
Applications can be developed for Palm's Pre and Pixi devices.
