Hey Palm! Where's my PDA with Wifi and phone capabilities?
RE: Cat and Mouse
Still sneering now?
If this closes the current holes, the next series of updates should bring new functions, and maybe even upgrade the Calendar at very least.
The New Palm is worth paying attention to.
RE: Cat and Mouse
you are so naive. your childlike optimism is humorous.
it's going to take a lot more than a shitty little software update to fix this pig.
there's no patch that can cure shitty materials, shitty build quality, shitty ergonomics, shitty hardware, shitty software, and shitty applications.
RE: Cat and Mouse
two minor updates in a month is nothing to crow about.
it's a good start, however let's see if in two years palm is still releasing firmware updates and new features for this model.
Two minor updates in a month doesn't undo a history of poor support, however it's a good start.
RE: Cat and Mouse
MikeCon is easily impressed. serve him shit 1.0 then come back with shit with corn kernels and call it 1.0.1 and he thinks you've made progress.
be skeptical and don't believe the hype.

However, with enough s/w updates, even:
>shitty software, and shitty applications
can be fixed!

Read Palm's release notes - the sharp edge on the keyboard is the Pre's integrated cheese slicer!!!
Now you want browse the web, email friends, IM people, manage your contacts and slice cheese - all at the same time!
Amazing!!!

What a bunch of "girlie-hands" these wimps must have. Do a little real work and you'll have enough calluses you won't have such a painful experience touching that terribly sharp edge. ;-)

RE: Cat and Mouse
See, Gekko, it's this kind of love that's been missing here at PIC! I hope you're back for good now.
Come on, you recall all the crap with the Tungstens and their sliders. And the screws that fell out too.
I still haven't been able to molest a non-Demo-locked-down Pre.
RE: Cat and Mouse
but i don't know if i like this "kindler, gentler" MikeCon. you're mellowing in your old age.
mellow and too gullible.

I save my ire for the bastards of book publishing these days.
This isn't about homebrewed apps, necessarily...
My battery's a little run-down at the moment. It'll be interesting to see if the Tip Calculator still works when the update happens. :)
