Yes, it certainly is. Choices, guy - that's why. You may not want it, but many want the option. If you ask me, why any company would ruin the Palm Pre with that shitty slider keyboard is beyond me.]]>Aug 31st 2009 12:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/31/video-pre-virtual-keyboard-developing-rapidly-gets-easy-instal/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/31/video-pre-virtual-keyboard-developing-rapidly-gets-easy-instal/Aug 31st 2009 1:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/31/video-pre-virtual-keyboard-developing-rapidly-gets-easy-instal/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/31/video-pre-virtual-keyboard-developing-rapidly-gets-easy-instal/Aug 31st 2009 8:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/31/video-pre-virtual-keyboard-developing-rapidly-gets-easy-instal/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/31/video-pre-virtual-keyboard-developing-rapidly-gets-easy-instal/
I meant that as troll bait for the likes of Paul Chapel and his cronies. I wasn't calling you a troll. Now let's stop the name calling and have a virtual Kumbaya. Wait...is there an app for that?]]>Aug 31st 2009 8:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/31/video-pre-virtual-keyboard-developing-rapidly-gets-easy-instal/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/31/video-pre-virtual-keyboard-developing-rapidly-gets-easy-instal/Which one do we want?
It seem like iPhone users want physical, and pre users want virtual.

As much as I hate to give them credit, Apple might actually have been the industry leader, although some other schmuck might have patented the concept years before.]]>Aug 31st 2009 10:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/31/video-pre-virtual-keyboard-developing-rapidly-gets-easy-instal/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/31/video-pre-virtual-keyboard-developing-rapidly-gets-easy-instal/

The Mac Tablet that's definitely coming soon is going to add a lot more multi-touch gestures than what the iPhone already offers.

My only complaints with my 3GS are: Battery Life, Screen Resolution, No Front Facing Camera & No Flash.

Apple must really hate flash, their cameras don't offer flash plus their software doesn't support it to preserve the already abysmal battery life.]]>Aug 31st 2009 11:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/31/video-pre-virtual-keyboard-developing-rapidly-gets-easy-instal/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/31/video-pre-virtual-keyboard-developing-rapidly-gets-easy-instal/
Why have a hard keyboard then?

Do I detect a candybar Pre on the horizon with humongous screen replacing the keyboard?

I can add what I want and not void the warranty or have the COE tell me it is illegal to “jailbreak” my phone so that I can add the things I want instead of the things they think I should want.

LOL. Palm may soon follow the same path as Apple and declare Preware as illegal as Apple does Cydia/jailbreaking. Just because they haven't doesn't mean they wont in the future.]]>Aug 31st 2009 1:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/31/video-pre-virtual-keyboard-developing-rapidly-gets-easy-instal/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/31/video-pre-virtual-keyboard-developing-rapidly-gets-easy-instal/Aug 31st 2009 1:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/31/video-pre-virtual-keyboard-developing-rapidly-gets-easy-instal/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/31/video-pre-virtual-keyboard-developing-rapidly-gets-easy-instal/ ...Palm has already said they will allow non-approved and/or side loading of apps...

That's the first I've heard of that!

Care to prove it?

[you understand that Palm ORIGNALLY said "Palm-certified apps but available anywhere" then recently switched to "Palm-certified app from App Catalog", right? Otherwise, go ahead and prove that first sentence there...waiting with bated breath!]

This is what former CEO of Palm Ed Colligan told investors back in February. If you weren't so freaking stupid, you could have found this all by your little lonesome and saved yourself a world of embarrassment on the internet. Now please shut the fuck up and crawl back into your hole.
