I've tried bing all week. It's fine... except when you make a typo. That is whhere Google still kicks it. Palm... I have had palm pda's in the past, biased? yup slightly. And Louis so are you. You have never touched a Palm Pre. I can also tell you the Palm pre is every iPhone fan boys best friend! Teah, you know why, because they raised the bar so far up that Apple had to go an extra mile to make the 3GS rock. And yes it is pretty cool and the price of the 3G is as well. The Palm pre is just out, so please give it a break and don't compare app numbers just yet. The apple app store is way cooler now than 2 years ago.

Let's leave the jury verdict out for at least another year. You know what the coolest thing is about this! There is a good second in the smartphone market. It creates real choice and makes Apple needing to be less smug about themselves. Apple Inc are great innovators and very good marketers, you fan boys will be happy for many years to come, but spare me the look down yuor noses :)

Don,

I agree to give Pre a chance, but when you automatically assign low expectations to it (as the public and press have I think) then it doesn't have a bright future. But bigger surprises have happened. I expect Pre to be fighting for #2.

As for Apple "had to go an extra mile" to make the 3GS rock - totally off there. The 3GS (and OS 3) has been the works for a long time prior to everyone even learning about the Pre's features or launch. Pre did nothing to effect the 3GS. And I doubt it will for the 2010 iPhone either, but at least it will be by Apple's choice.
