BUT: Palm needs more mindshare and the Pre needs more apps, and so much as I dig the phone, I'm thinking of trading it for a 3GS to get the wide variety of apps and accessories. If I used a lot of voice minutes, Sprint's service pricing would seal the deal in the Pre's favor, but since I don't, and since Google Sync can do the parts of Synergy that I really need, the iPhone is looking good to me.<br /><br />It's ironic that Apple fanboys make the exact same arguments against the Pre that Windows fanboys make against the Mac: "sure, yours might have a better OS, but mine has a wider user base, more software, and better hardware specs per dollar." If Palm's better moustrap bites the dust for those idiotic reasons, it will be tragic.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7300765697936211740.post-6247979747217192009-05-14T17:34:00.000-04:002009-05-14T17:34:00.000-04:00Some good points although I don't quite agree with...Some good points although I don't quite agree with all of them. It certainly doesn't help that you mention that you are an iFanatic which means you are somewhat truly set on bashing the Palm Pre.<br /><br />Btw, nice looking layout but takes too much scrolling. :)blued888http://www.eclecticelectronics.netnoreply@blogger.com
