 If you have a Pre+/Pre- you technically have a legal and functional method of breaking the chains of webOS 1.x ([[WebOS_2_Upgrade]]) and heading straight to webOS 2.x
-Pixi/Pixi+ users lack any such direct upgrade path. The only path Castle devices have has legal concerns, real performance issues, and will leave you with a Palm Profile version that will prevent you from purchasing any apps (unless you fix it using [[Application:Impostah]]), and at the end of the day will still only let you have a 1.4.5 Profile Version. For these reasons, this path is not recommended and remains only of purely academic value.

 If you would like some of the functionality enhancements that webOS 2.x and its apps bring but do not want to go through the trouble of doctoring to an unsupported version, you need to somehow install those apps on your backlevel operating system. If you want a working webOS 2.x app catalog with promo codes, read on! If you want a (possibly) working VPN app on your 1.x Pre, read on!
