Renaming your webOS device 7

Device InfoDid you know that you can give your webOS device its own name? Why would you give it a name, you ask? Well, whenever you pair your device over Bluetooth with an audio headset or another webOS device (i.e. pairing a phone and TouchPad together), or if you go to http://palm.com/profile to access your webOS Profile details, this gives you a method of uniquely identifying your devices.

To change the device name, just open up the "Device Info" app on your webOS device, tap on the "NAME" section at top, and type in your desired name. Close the "Device Info" app and you are done. If you had previously paired your device with another via BlueTooth, don't worry; you will not need to re-pair it as the device name should automatically update the next time you connect them together.

16gb on a pre 3? This is extremly rare, isn't it?

Should be noted that there's an option in WebOS Quick Install that can detect the device name and use that as the device label in the dropdown box :)

with new/aktual hardware
