Palm Raises $313 Million, Bolsters War Chest

Day in and Day out, Palm continues to make you iPhone fanatics into fools. Why don't you just go and use the Pre and get a feel for what it can do before you continue making fools out of yourselves, especially those of you that Shorted the stock. The WebOS is probably the best Smartphone platform to come to market, regardless of how much Spin the iPhone fans wish to promulgate. An apropos cliche to most of you burned Shorts would be "oh what a tangled web we weave when we first practice to deceive." This is not to say the Pre is a perfect phone but it unequivocally emulates the iPhone and in some cases it is much better. When my iPhone's battery loses its juice I can do nothing but untie the phone from myself to charge it, however all I need to do with the Pre is change my battery. When my touch screen on the iPhone gets jammed in the process of what I might be doing, I have to close the application and reboot my phone, whereas on the Pre I move to the qwerty keyboard in such a situation. On the iPhone I can only do one thing at a time while on my Pre I can open up numerous applications simultaneously while I am talking. At night I can take picture using my flash on the Pre, but on the iPhone I don't have a flash, hence my pictures are not worth keeping. Yes, the iPhone has 70,000 applications, mind you produced by third party developers, not Apple, however the iPhone has been around for over 30 months whereas the Pre has been around for just over 3 months. Most of those applications on the iPhone will soon be available on the Pre and most Android based phones. So touting the iPhones App. Store won't carry much weight for much longer. My point is be careful with your 'irrational exuberance' over the iPhone and remember what happened to those of us that lost all logic during the .com and real estate boom. Last but not least, the Pre costs only $69/month at Sprint for all your wireless usage, while the iPhone costs $150/month at ATT.
