The Pre doesn't have to kill the iPhone to be successful. It's unlikely it could even if that was its goal. Which it isn't. It doesn't even have to sell as well as the iPhone. It just has to make Palm and Sprint a profit. There is plenty of room …

Good news for the Pre. Still too early to tell how well it will do long term but I hope it succeeds because it's a nice phone with great software. Apple needs some competition.

I can't see it. Most people don't care about, nor know, the difference between OLED vs LCD. Unless it actually makes a significant difference in battery life or visual clarity it's not a selling point. Radio? I don't get this either. It's not …

I don't understand why so many people are concerned about the timeline. I don't expect them to ever release a tablet, so 2010 is sooner than never. However if they do in fact release a 10" touch screen device, then there is a good chance it wi…

I think the Pre's biggest problem currently has nothing to do with it's capabilities. I think its biggest problem is marketing. I haven't heard anything about this phone anywhere outside of tech blogs. When the iPhone was coming out it was on the…

I currently have an iPhone, and I love it. However the thought of having a phone that has a tactile keyboard and a touch screen is very appealing to me. Giving up a tactile keyboard for a mutable interface was an even compromise for me, but it was a…

Does anyone have any actually 100% sized screenshots? I have looked everywhere and I can't find any. I really would like to get a good look at the interface/icons. Everything I have seen so far has been scaled too small or the really enlarged and no…

This is actually why after 10 years as an Apple user I no longer own a Mac. Apple doesn't make a computer that fits my needs and I doubt they ever will. My job is graphic design so for the longest time I always had an expensive tower with Apple D…
