It was only a matter of time before you’d be able to control your computer through your Palm Pre, but don’t get too excited yet it’s still going to take a little bit of time to get it working correctly. For now the only thing you can do is view your computer through the Pre, no keyboard or mouse support has been built in yet, but I’m sure it’s coming. Check out the video above for all the VNC action.

We know it’s possible to run Doom on the Pre so obviously the next step was getting an NES emulator to run in webOS. Now apparently you could already run the emulator within the “Palm Classic” emulator thing, but why do that when you can run it straight through webOS fairly simply. You can find all the instructions at the link below then sit back and play some Contra wherever you are.

This is what you’ve all been waiting for, proof that homebrew games can and will be a big part of the Palm Pre’s life. A guy by the name of Sargun has managed to get Doom up and running relatively smooth on the Palm Pre. He used the open source version of PRDoom and states that it was pretty easy to port it over to the webOS platform. This is sure to excite those of you that want to rip into your Pre’s and get homebrew apps and games running. Check out the video above to see it running.
