Yey! No more creepy redhead doing inexplicable things with an unexplained device!
With any luck this will lead to an advertiser who will SHOW THE DAMNED THING!!! I had some time to try out my daughter's Droid this past weekend and I must say it, like the iPhone, feels like a step backward from WebOS. It's definitely a capable device, but the interface is fairly weak. The HTC devices coming out have their UI improvements, but even those don't come close to working as intuitively as WebOS. Somehow advertising has to convey that. I don't know how, but then I'm a computer guy, not an advertiser. One thing for sure - Palm had better up its hardware game. Craig's other dream of WebOS on HTC hardware would be a huge step up. The Pre is an amazingly elegant device, but I'm on my fourth (almost 5th) one since last June, the keyboard creaks when I type, the Oreo cookie effect is in full force, the plastic screen has some hairline scratches, and the system does seem sluggish overall now that I had to take off the 800mhz patch (which patch *definitely* caused decreased battery life by the way - no question about it). The Pre + addresses the keyboard and Oreo problems, and perhaps the overall build quality problems (although it still has a plastic screen), but not the rest. Come on Palm!!!!
