Interesting.  

 

I think the comparison with MacOS and Windows 7 is backwards, though.  The
Pre is very much like Apple - beautiful, and limited.  Android is much more
like Windows - almost as nice to look at, and much less limited.

 

I'm having a lot of difficulty maintaining my enthusiasm for a platform
that's been out for a year and still won't let me edit word/excel documents,
can't fix the disappearing alarm problem, still won't let me sufficiently
customize the way it buzzes and beeps and flashes.  Not to mention the
still-inferior hardware in almost every dimension, no voice controls,
processor that can easily be made to run faster but isn't (unless I do scary
things to it) and on and on.

 

The limitations of the Pilot/PalmPilot in the early days were paired with a
breathtaking simplicity that made the limitations OK.  The limitations of
the current WebOS version and devices is just annoying.

 

I hope HP will make WebOS catch up and overtake its competitors - that would
be great for everyone.

 

I'm still buying an Evo, though.

 

I might take it back on Monday, and I may buy another WebOS device in 3
months when/if HP comes out with something wonderful, but next Friday I'll
be there at 7am!

 

Cheers,

Don

This was posted on WebOSRoundup. Biased? Sure! Still, for those of us who
would rather stick with Palm if we can, it makes some good points:
