Yeah, seriously. You guys every heard a pair of decent headphones?
You can even get the Sony sonic-equivalent of Beats for like $70. So unless you are a tween from the 'burbs trying to look street (wait, $300 headphones street?), why would you ever but them?
So, who exactly cares if the Palm Pre's app catalog doesn't measure up to the iPhone's? I'm not 14. I don't want 40,000 useless applications and games to choose from. It seems their decision is strategic: holding the reigns, knowing that serious developers will still develop for the Pre, hopefully preventing all the riffraff from bloating the catalog with their crapware.
I'm with everyone else: Phone first, everything else second. If I wanted to play games, why would I waste my time tinkering around on a 3" screen, anyway??
I could care less about 1080p... There's only one movie that I want to watch in HD (Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford), and that's not enough to convince me to lay down $400 for a decent player, and then $30 thereafter for discs.
Though, I guess 90% of the world population is stupefyingly drunk with technology to the point that they're incapable of resisting anything that looks shiny and new...
Heck, I'd even buy the device for $100 if the monthly cost was only $10... $20/month is my only hesitation right now. Otherwise, I'm fully crouched and waiting to jump on the bandwagon.
"I am looking for a 12- or 13-inch ultraportable that can also play modern games at a reasonable level, for less than $1,000. I know the brainiacs out there can help me out. Love the site, thanks!"
