Palm Pre syncs with iTunes

Syncs with iTunes

I don't know if any other smart phone that could do this. And it seems perfectly legal? It is interesting that no other smart phone has ever tried this until now. Or are there others?

Back Stabbed??

Consider the article:

Backstabber?

Jon Rubinstein of Apple fame reportedly had a big hand in the Palm Pre design. Jon was an Apple executive early in the decade, and he oversaw the hardware division. I cannot help but be hurt, Stitch, that Jon was ok with going to Palm to compete directly against Apple. I know it happens all the time, but it hurts nonetheless. Do you feel the same way?

Palm Pre set to launch

Check out the article:

Palm Pre

I don't know, Stitch. The pricing is pretty steep, and I think that's the disadvantage of being a late comer (to the tune of 2 years late). You may have a nice phone, but out of necessity you have to price the entry level product in this case at $200 after a mail in rebate. The iPhone has been in the market for 2 years with a possible refresh right around the corner.

What do you think, Stitch? Have you heard much?

p.s. Apologies for my absence lately - I had a rough semester, and I needed to finish it off!!
