Apple has not made a company out of innovating new products. They've made a company out of letting others invent new products, sitting back and watching them go through the growing pains, and then launching a new version of an old idea. Whether it's computers (IBM), operating systems (Xerox), the mouse (Xerox, again...), laptops, wireless routers, MP3 players (Creative, iRiver, etc...), SmartPhones (Palm, Blackberry, WinMo)... They are never the first. They don't want to be the first to market, they want to be the best to market.

Now, I know the whole "best" thing is what is up for debate, and that's not what this is about. Apple waits until they have a stable, beautiful, intuitive product before they put it out in the open. I think that's what Palm is doing. They could have thrown the Pre into the wild 6 months ago, or more. But they need a product that wows, woos, and works. If you don't have the third, you can't have the first two.

That being said, let's all remember that this is a first gen product. All the apps are web-based, even if they are local. They have to be built in CSS, Java, and HTML. Just like the first iPhone. The benefit of Palm's iteration is that they can be stored locally, and you don't need to be connected to use them. I hope Palm does well, because at this point, there is no actual competition for the iPhone. If Palm starts creeping up on Apple's back, it can only be good for iPhone innovations in the future.

(Note to the Anti-Apple types out there: What I mean by "There is no actual competition for the iPhone". -- In numbers of devices, in numbers of Apps, in numbers of users, in numbers of mobile website hits, or in product or app revenue. That's what I mean. Don't turn this into a flame-war, please. Thank you.)]]>May 24th 2009 4:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/24/plethora-of-palm-pre-interface-videos-emerge-from-leaked-emulato/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/24/plethora-of-palm-pre-interface-videos-emerge-from-leaked-emulato/May 24th 2009 4:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/24/plethora-of-palm-pre-interface-videos-emerge-from-leaked-emulato/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/24/plethora-of-palm-pre-interface-videos-emerge-from-leaked-emulato/May 24th 2009 5:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/24/plethora-of-palm-pre-interface-videos-emerge-from-leaked-emulato/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/24/plethora-of-palm-pre-interface-videos-emerge-from-leaked-emulato/May 24th 2009 1:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/24/plethora-of-palm-pre-interface-videos-emerge-from-leaked-emulato/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/24/plethora-of-palm-pre-interface-videos-emerge-from-leaked-emulato/May 24th 2009 2:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/24/plethora-of-palm-pre-interface-videos-emerge-from-leaked-emulato/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/24/plethora-of-palm-pre-interface-videos-emerge-from-leaked-emulato/http://sdkapplication.palm.com/sdkapplication/) and it is only n beta. im sure that a little after the release of the phone, if not at the same time, the SDK will be widely available]]>May 24th 2009 2:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/24/plethora-of-palm-pre-interface-videos-emerge-from-leaked-emulato/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/24/plethora-of-palm-pre-interface-videos-emerge-from-leaked-emulato/May 24th 2009 2:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/24/plethora-of-palm-pre-interface-videos-emerge-from-leaked-emulato/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/24/plethora-of-palm-pre-interface-videos-emerge-from-leaked-emulato/May 24th 2009 2:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/24/plethora-of-palm-pre-interface-videos-emerge-from-leaked-emulato/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/24/plethora-of-palm-pre-interface-videos-emerge-from-leaked-emulato/May 24th 2009 5:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/24/plethora-of-palm-pre-interface-videos-emerge-from-leaked-emulato/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/24/plethora-of-palm-pre-interface-videos-emerge-from-leaked-emulato/
What it does have, is built-in DocumentsToGo.

However, where's flash support? That would be a game changer... Opera 9.7 has flash support, Android is "getting" full flash... Yesterday I was watching Family Guy on Hulu on Skyfire running on my Nokia E65... Flash adds an entire new dimension of usability to the mobile browser...]]>May 24th 2009 3:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/24/plethora-of-palm-pre-interface-videos-emerge-from-leaked-emulato/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/24/plethora-of-palm-pre-interface-videos-emerge-from-leaked-emulato/step2. install a linux image, you name it "palm emulator (sdk47)"
step3. fabricate a fake webOS screenshot.
step4. set the resolution of the virtual machine to match the screenshot.
step5. open the fake screenshot in fullscreen mode.

on the other hand, its just as possible, just a little more complicated to realize. a skin or application could do the same. heck, it could even be a flash "game" played in a fullscreen browser.

i dont believe its real... why the hell would one use virtualbox to emulate a handheld? its completely pc-oriented, wouldnt it be almost as much work to adapt the thing to emulate palm pre hardware as to build a dedicated emulator?]]>May 24th 2009 4:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/24/plethora-of-palm-pre-interface-videos-emerge-from-leaked-emulato/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/24/plethora-of-palm-pre-interface-videos-emerge-from-leaked-emulato/
