After multiple PalmOS PDAs and phones, and waiting what feels like forever (six years?) for the "New Linux-based OS", I'm all "Yeah, show me what you've done with your squandered market share lead."

Shouldn't they have named it the "iClone"?

I feel this is a meh!

I have more faith in Android devices than a Palm or Windows device. I would think that Android phones will have a better share in the market alongside the iPhone

Tough crowd.

I'm as cynical about Palm as anyone else... they squandered their huge lead years ago. But I think the Pre is a case of don't-knock-it-until-you've-tried-it. It looks promising; I'll reserve judgment for now.

Oh, good. Another iPhone knock-off. It's been almost a week since the last one, hasn't it?

Yes, but can you put it up your bum?

Can I? Probably. I mean it looks smaller then 9cm in diameter. Kinda talented THAT WAY.

Would I get any thrill from doing so? Probably not.

I posted an early review. We'll see.

Not in any hurry to jump carriers. Sprint is well-known in DFW for signal problems.

I admit it, I am impressed.

Palm, a company everyone thought was completely dead, has released a product that is on-par with the iPhone, PocketPC/WinMobile, Andriod crowd.

They just jumped from Windows 3.1 to Xp in one movement.

Just the fact that they could rebuild everything over and admit that their old enviroment is no more, took some balls.

Granted, they still have yet to ship...
