  • Palm Investors Await 'Pre'-lude [View article]
    Worse than Att's network- you're joking right? Sprint has a 3G footprint 3 times the size of Att not to mention all the capacity problems Att has.

    Seriously Geddy bring something to the conversation besides FUD for once.

  • Palm: It's Official, Pre to Launch June 6 for $200 [View article]
    @Yagottabe Kidding

    No it IS misinformation

    Best Buy and Radio Shack don't do mail in rebates yet sell Sprint phones for the same price as their after rebate price so at those stores it will be $199 OUT THE DOOR.

    And again the Touchstone dock is optional and not a required accessory. Why don't you just go ahead and tack on a leather case and a car charger to further spread FUD?

    How about we talk about Att's iPhone plans vs. Sprint's? To match Sprint's $99 unlimited voice, data, text, and navigation plan requires spending almost $200 on Att. And the Pre also works on Sprint's $69 plan which still offers unlimited data, text, and navigation. How much is that on Att?

    Misinformation indeed.

    @Jon T

    The "web apps" on the Pre are completely different that the first generation iPhone's apps. The iPhone were web applications in the classic sense (the actual app was run off a remote server, the application was dependent on your connection meaning it could lag, slow down, or even drop out).

    The Pre's applications simply make use of web programming languages but the app resides on the phone itself and, unless functionality requires it, doesn't require a connection to the network to work. Palm set it up this way because web programming skills are everywhere today and putting a basic web application together is the easiest and quickest way to go for most programmers.

    There's lots of info out there on Palm's WebOS...you might want to do some research.
