I fear for the Pre. By the time they get it released (June? July? I clicked on the Engadget ad and still couldn't get a date) Apple will have out another phone. There is already some rumors that the next iPhone will be multi-core.
Palm has the former head of the iPod division working for them, so it's no surprise that the design of the Pre came out so well, but I'm sure the underwhelming nature of the MacWorld Expo was intentional.
Apple wants to break out of the cycle it's created where expectation of new product announcements in January causes a slump in December/holiday sales. There's also a clear negative stock price impact pre- and post- expo. So, they announced that they were discontinuing expo attendance, threw in Phil Schiller instead of Steve, and purposely failed to announce any significant products. Perfect.
Apple has doubtless got lots of exciting products in the pipeline that will make consumers' and analysts' mouths water. Watch for them in the coming months. Buy Palm stock while it's still hot.
