Comments on: Linux on the LifeDrive Update
Linux for the LifeDrive is still in the developer/experiment stages. Though the new OPIE instructions allow you to take it for a test drive, it can still mess with your unit so a full backup and caution is advised before proceeding.

RE: Amazing
I was recently able to get Linux on my T3 with little pin and effort. I just had to sync a prc file to my T3 and copy a file to my memory card.
There are many fetures though that are still lacking (i.e. support for the power button, wifi, bluetooth, and some others), but it appears to be coming along.
RE: Amazing
Same reason people climb mountains. Some of us actually think this kind of thing is fun. In fact, I'd go so far as to say that any really good programmer does her best work when her motivation is just to see if something is possible.

RE: Amazing
Perhaps I'm missing something... but if you don't have support for the power button, is there really much point in having support for anything else?
RE: Amazing
Typically you can still manually shut down the OS and then power down the hardware (as you can with win/xp)

Engdaget calls it "mouth-watering"?!!? Yeah - like RABIES!!!

Funny, it doesn't mention <$99 pricing or a rainbow of colors
Pretty solid article here. Nary a mention of Palm either. But since Palm isn't doing any of the stuff on the list at the PRESENT I guess they & their current crop of devices & services don't even merit inclusion as far as BH is concerned.
Note: not that I agree with all of these points listed here-and a 10-point list would probably be more comprehensive than a mere 5-point list, but it's still a good launching point for discussion on showing that the iPhone juggernaut still leaves a LOT to be desired.
Heck, one could actually come up with 3 separate lists:
1. How to combat the iPhone's strengths
2. Areas in which the iPhone stands to improve
3. Aspects of other platforms that exceed the iPhone entirely

Just out of curiosity, what is your current favorite amongst the current crop of netbooks? MSI Wind? Acer AspireOne? HP Mini-Note? Or the new 10" EEE? None of 'em?

Granted, Apple's mopping the floor with everybody else on that score right now, but still. RIM has the Blackberry environment and a big mind-share advantage on email; Samsung's trying to build a name on combining quality and style; HTC has their omnipresence and carrier relationships. Palm, like Motorola, is just tossing models on the market and hoping they sell based on the name.
As to subnotes, don't forget the new Dell E (Not to be confused with the Asus Eee, soon to be known as "Plaintiff").
