This is easily the most innovative phone since the original iPhone, and you're surprised that Engadget is giving it decent coverage? And, where do you get this "craptastic" idea from? Wait, don't tell me--you're one of those idiot Apple fanboys, upset that Palm of all companies has stolen the show!

On that note, congratulations are in order, as Palm has likely resurrected itself with this phone and the new WebOS. Just when I had counted them out completely, they go and pull something like this out of their hat! Apple should be very concerned; this is the iPhone killer, if ever there was one--and Palm is going to push this new hotness with all they've got. I for one, can't wait for it to arrive; I'd explain why, but this thing really speaks for itself.

P.S. I want to see a battle of the "iPhone killers" on Engadget, featuring the Pre vs. the Storm vs. the G1! FIGHT!]]>Jan 14th 2009 3:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/14/pandoras-cto-talks-about-pre-webos-sdk-gaming-and-small-chil/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/14/pandoras-cto-talks-about-pre-webos-sdk-gaming-and-small-chil/
Though to its credit it does look interesting. But so did android. Android looked good when it first was announced but so far its been quite disappointing. (not saying that it doesn't have potential, just not blown away by it) If they don't come out with something good at Mobile World Congress I will be very disappointed. I think overall there is too much hype and not enough show for many mobile phones. Only time will tell if this is the case for the Pre, I hope its not.]]>Jan 14th 2009 3:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/14/pandoras-cto-talks-about-pre-webos-sdk-gaming-and-small-chil/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/14/pandoras-cto-talks-about-pre-webos-sdk-gaming-and-small-chil/Jan 14th 2009 3:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/14/pandoras-cto-talks-about-pre-webos-sdk-gaming-and-small-chil/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/14/pandoras-cto-talks-about-pre-webos-sdk-gaming-and-small-chil/

Of course, I'll wait and see what Apple whips up this summer. it all depends. But at the moment, the Pre is looking really, REALLY tempting. ]]>Jan 14th 2009 2:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/14/pandoras-cto-talks-about-pre-webos-sdk-gaming-and-small-chil/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/14/pandoras-cto-talks-about-pre-webos-sdk-gaming-and-small-chil/Jan 14th 2009 3:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/14/pandoras-cto-talks-about-pre-webos-sdk-gaming-and-small-chil/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/14/pandoras-cto-talks-about-pre-webos-sdk-gaming-and-small-chil/Jan 14th 2009 3:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/14/pandoras-cto-talks-about-pre-webos-sdk-gaming-and-small-chil/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/14/pandoras-cto-talks-about-pre-webos-sdk-gaming-and-small-chil/

But yeah, GSM/3G needed too.]]>Jan 14th 2009 3:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/14/pandoras-cto-talks-about-pre-webos-sdk-gaming-and-small-chil/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/14/pandoras-cto-talks-about-pre-webos-sdk-gaming-and-small-chil/
You do realize that all US carriers have 3G right? Verizon and Sprint have the largest, most reliable and fastest 3G network. Sprints 3G network is 5 times larger than ATT and 40+ times larger than Tmobile and growing. 3G is third generation wireless. ATT and Apple did not start the industries 3G network with the iphone. Verizon and Sprint have had their 3G networks for years, ATT and Tmobile started theirs last year and they have a long way to go. Sprint is in the process of launching 4G and they will have a larger 4G footprint than ATT's 3G.

With regard to Palm launching the Pre on Sprint, it happened for several reasons, here are a few:

1) Sprint and Palm have always been loyal partners, Palm devices usually launch on Sprint first.

2) The Palm Centro has been a HUGE success, 2 million sold worldwide 700,000 sold on Sprint.

3) Sprint has been rated to have the largest most reliable network.

4) Sprint will be deploying 4G much sooner than the other carriers, EVDO Rev-A will be upgraded to Rev-C 3.5G then Rev-C 4G or some speculate will be Wimax.]]>Jan 14th 2009 5:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/14/pandoras-cto-talks-about-pre-webos-sdk-gaming-and-small-chil/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/14/pandoras-cto-talks-about-pre-webos-sdk-gaming-and-small-chil/Jan 14th 2009 9:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/14/pandoras-cto-talks-about-pre-webos-sdk-gaming-and-small-chil/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/14/pandoras-cto-talks-about-pre-webos-sdk-gaming-and-small-chil/
Most of the people I know who are good at HTML totally suck at writing software. Palm has aimed this dev kit at the wrong group of people. I don't know if I would really want a bunch of web designers writing applications. How many really well polished web sites are there compared to well polished software? It just doesn't compare.]]>Jan 14th 2009 10:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/14/pandoras-cto-talks-about-pre-webos-sdk-gaming-and-small-chil/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/14/pandoras-cto-talks-about-pre-webos-sdk-gaming-and-small-chil/Jan 14th 2009 3:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/14/pandoras-cto-talks-about-pre-webos-sdk-gaming-and-small-chil/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/14/pandoras-cto-talks-about-pre-webos-sdk-gaming-and-small-chil/Jan 14th 2009 3:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/14/pandoras-cto-talks-about-pre-webos-sdk-gaming-and-small-chil/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/14/pandoras-cto-talks-about-pre-webos-sdk-gaming-and-small-chil/Jan 14th 2009 4:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/14/pandoras-cto-talks-about-pre-webos-sdk-gaming-and-small-chil/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/14/pandoras-cto-talks-about-pre-webos-sdk-gaming-and-small-chil/Jan 14th 2009 5:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/14/pandoras-cto-talks-about-pre-webos-sdk-gaming-and-small-chil/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/14/pandoras-cto-talks-about-pre-webos-sdk-gaming-and-small-chil/
Yes, I am an ATT customer. May I ask, where are you getting this information from? I do agree though that the fee is a bit high, therefore there clearly is some pocket change. If what you are saying is true, then shame on Apple, haven't they earned enough from the iPhone sales?]]>Jan 14th 2009 6:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/14/pandoras-cto-talks-about-pre-webos-sdk-gaming-and-small-chil/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/14/pandoras-cto-talks-about-pre-webos-sdk-gaming-and-small-chil/

So far, how can one not be impressed? I have never owned a Palm and wouldn't consider a Treo. Yet, the feature set on the Pre is compelling. Much more impressive than Android or WinMo (I run both right now and am happy with WinMo 6.1). And, of course, it stomps all over the iPhone from a business user perspective.]]>Jan 14th 2009 3:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/14/pandoras-cto-talks-about-pre-webos-sdk-gaming-and-small-chil/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/14/pandoras-cto-talks-about-pre-webos-sdk-gaming-and-small-chil/Jan 14th 2009 5:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/14/pandoras-cto-talks-about-pre-webos-sdk-gaming-and-small-chil/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/14/pandoras-cto-talks-about-pre-webos-sdk-gaming-and-small-chil/Jan 14th 2009 4:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/14/pandoras-cto-talks-about-pre-webos-sdk-gaming-and-small-chil/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/14/pandoras-cto-talks-about-pre-webos-sdk-gaming-and-small-chil/Jan 15th 2009 12:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/14/pandoras-cto-talks-about-pre-webos-sdk-gaming-and-small-chil/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/14/pandoras-cto-talks-about-pre-webos-sdk-gaming-and-small-chil/Jan 14th 2009 4:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/14/pandoras-cto-talks-about-pre-webos-sdk-gaming-and-small-chil/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/14/pandoras-cto-talks-about-pre-webos-sdk-gaming-and-small-chil/Jan 14th 2009 4:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/14/pandoras-cto-talks-about-pre-webos-sdk-gaming-and-small-chil/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/14/pandoras-cto-talks-about-pre-webos-sdk-gaming-and-small-chil/you're kind of an asshole, but it made me giggle so +1 anyway.]]>Jan 14th 2009 6:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/14/pandoras-cto-talks-about-pre-webos-sdk-gaming-and-small-chil/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/14/pandoras-cto-talks-about-pre-webos-sdk-gaming-and-small-chil/
