Yup. All the old apps, more than a few that don't work, more that don't work well, and more than a few that you need to be an expert in so as to be able to set up on the Pre through Classic.
Yup, plenty of good old apps.
No touch interface for them either in most cases.
And, there are about 30,000 of those old apps as compared to over 50,000 for the iPhone.
That's besides the point. It has MORE apps than Apple. Besides; Apple's apps are mostly all fart apps. YAY; I can run a "stupid tests" on my iPhone. YEEEEEEEES!!! Palm at least had professional apps that people can use in the real world.
So far this is one of the better keynotes I remember.
Only nice app ( other than speed boost ) new Iphone has that i'd like is Voice dialing ... i wonder if that requires some kind of hardware or someone smart will figure out how to get it working on older 3G model.
Apple today will kick-off its 2009 Worldwide Developers Conference with a keynote presentation led by marketing chief Phil Schiller at 10:00 am Pacific time (1:00 pm Eastern). AppleInsider will provide live coverage from the event here.

Well; the most exciting part for me is the price drop. The rest is pretty much a big fat shrug> I don't care. In fact; since I don't care about the flash size THAT much; for 100$; the 3G's a steal. The rest of the stuff sounds like more abilities for developers to make fart apps. Whoopy.
If you like fart apps... Yes... And there's more than 30k; did you actually check?
Most of Palms apps are crap too.
I've been using Palmphones since the Samsung i300. My last was the Treo 700p.
So, I'm pretty familiar with Palms apps.
And unless they drop the prices on most of them by a lot, they will fade away even more quickly than otherwise. Most are no longer worth what is being charged for them.
I must not be making myself clear... They're complaining about having to pay the $129... For their machines that are running Tiger, instead of just the $29 to go to Snow Leopard. There was also someone complaining about not being able to use the $49 family upgrade pack to update all of his three machines because 2 are running Leopard, but one is running Tiger.
Again, I don't see complaining, I see someone asking how it will work and asking for clarification about what specifically can be done.

You don't think so what?
They gave the numbers without iPhone and including iPhone, seems completely honest and transparent to me.

The iPhone/iPod is so vastly different to desktop OS X (in market alone) that the two figures shouldn't be lumped together and it cerrtainly makes a big difference to the stat.
EDIT: Ah well I missed that in reading the text updates... Thanks.

Does you boss at Palm know that you're on an Apple site? Or, is this part of the job description for the day?

I don't know why. They really aren't the same to the user. About three years ago there were almost 40 million Mac users, most being PPC. Many of those weren't on OS X.
Since then they've sold about 30 million machines, so I don't know. Maybe.

Get your Snow Leopard for nothing and your chicks for free!

A lot to look forward to and there will inevitably be more surprises throughout the year.
