Maybe palm should think about this
RE: Maybe palm should think about this
It's time to move forward. The Web OS economy will fill in all the gaps in time.

Getting back to Palm: If they don't do some kind Garnet emulation within 2-3 months of the Pre's retail availability, people are gonna be upset and it'll end up being provided by some kind of 3rd party such as Styletap. I do NOT expect Palm to care at all on this subject, as the Pre & WebOs represents an entirely new era for them. They're preparing to leave EVERYTHING behind in order to expedite this transition IMO.

App Catalog
But I liked the hint in the speaker's voice that we'll see some innovation there too.

70+ Free iPhone Apps for Social Media Mavens

Two reasons for that final one:
1) The sheer *number* of apps just for one aspect of the Net
2) I wonder how many of those IM/SMS apps are actually superfluous for the Pre?

It also shows the special back of the Pre used with the Touchstone. Looks less glossy than the stock back.
Notice also the white spots that appear in the browser when using multitouch.

"Synergy" means no need to "save" or "sync" on Palm's pre

The Pre keyboard: a spoiler?
Because let's say the Pre *doesn't* save Palm. Then I'd go with an iPhone.
Which has no keyboard.
Yet I might have gotten used to a damned thumbboard by then.
Yikes.

RE: The Pre keyboard: a spoiler?
I found the general formfactor to be too "wide" to tote around conveniently though the fit & finish was superb. The screen was TOO widescreen and text was a bit hard to read even for me. If it was a 10" screen on that thing and a few more vertical pixelsm then Sony might be on to something. Otherwise, I see it sort of relegated to the same high-margin, low-volume executive toy novelty niche as most of Sony's final Clies and their higher-end VARIO subnotebooks. Yawn. Asus, Acer, MSI and Lenovo have nothing to worry about!
The screen WAS lovely, though, and the keyboard and even the recessed trackpoint thingie was better than expected.

MobileMe trial users beware - Protect your iPhone's contacts and calendar data
http://www.intomobile.com/2009/01/13/mobileme-trial-users-beware-protect-your-iphones-contacts-and-calendar-data.html
>>>A minor oversight in MobileMe's data-synchronization flow exposes trial users to the risk of losing all contacts and calendar data upon canceling the service. The bug rears its ugly head when former MobileMe users' iPhones or iPhone 3Gs attempt to synchronize emails, contacts, calendar, and other data with a canceled MobileMe account. Once a MobileMe account is terminated, all the data is deleted from the "cloud" (MobileMe's computer servers), leaving behind a "blank slate." Any iPhone that synchronizes with a canceled account will reportedly over-write its own data with this blank slate.
Hahahahaha. Sounds just like the kind of capitalistic structure Gekko favors!!
RE: The Pre keyboard: a spoiler?
the cloud is not ready for prime time. it sounds great in theory, but it's just not ready yet. give the customer CHOICE!
Android Market - WTF?
WTF?! Is that really *it*?
1) Crappy UI
2) Less than 30 apps?!
Where's all that "momentum" Android had?
What about all that "open source" BS? (Yeah, that helped with Nokia's Maemo too! *snort*)
What about all those hundreds of thousands of G1 phones that were sold? These are the apps people can buy!?
New Android phone! OMG! Palm is DOOMED!!

1) We haven't had a DOOM headline in a while
2) A good laugh, no?
