My Nokia N80 has been able to run Doom ever since it was released (blazing fast I might add). Even Nokia N70 ran Quake long time ago.
Honestly, I'm not that impressed about Palms WebOS. I doubt we will see any real applications, just this web crap. Symbian is way ahead of competitors and it is extremely advanced (SMP support, multitasking...), however S60 UI is outdated and it hasn't had any major updates since 2nd edition in terms of looks and usability. That's going to be fixed when Symbian Foundation gets new QT based Orbit UI.
Uh, the whole point of this post is that the homebred community has already gotten something else than a web-app to run natively after less than a week ;)
God you are an idiot. Good luck hanging on to your declining market share... keep consoling yourself that "yeah... but we did it first!".

Thank you for spelling it out for those too clueless.
Full disclosure : I'm an iPhone user. But I've been HUGELY impressed with how quickly the walls have come tumbling down on the Pre. This thing is full blown Linux, so anyone worried about this "web crap" is a complete fool. What the "web crap" does is help enable quick and standardized ways of modifying UI functionality within WebOS... that doesn't mean the root system is inaccessible or will remain that way.
For those looking for a device strictly for reading, the new Kobo is a nice little option. It's small enough to slip into a pocket, can do more with a PDF than the competition, and at $129, it's $10 cheaper than both the Nook and Kindle WiFi.

I remember when they used to test the power of FULL COMPUTERS using Quake...
