Palm Pre hits 1.2GHz courtesy of SR71 Blackbird kernel, not for the faint-hearted

Whoa! After breaking the 1GHz barrier just three weeks ago, dauntless modder unixpsycho is back with a further insane hack for the aging Palm Pre. What\’s new? Why, this \” SR71 Blackbird\” custom kernel, which simply pushes the poor little OMAP3430 processor up to at least one.2GHz — that\’s twice the original clock speed, in order that you know. As glamorous as it sounds, potential users are triple-warned about this mod potentially failing the webOS device in a method or another, despite the built-in speed-scaling mechanism to cap the device at 55 degrees Celsius (131 in Fahrenheit). And keep in mind that, don\’t expect your stock battery to hold up for various blinks once implemented. Good luck, pilgrims.
