Palm Pre Is Out, Time For Discussion

Posted by timothy on from the post-pre-is-later dept.

caffiend666 writes "Palm Pre is out, let's discuss the status and compare stories. The first day seems to have gone as well as expected, with many selling out before noon. I bought the second at the local Sprint store, and so far I like it. Much more one-hand friendly than the iPhone. I haven't gotten the main apps to sync with Linux, but the media portion functions much like a thumb-drive with my Fedora-8 Linux system. For the Pre-verts out there, here's some Palm Pre dismantling pictures."

  2. How to 'discuss' new hardware on the internet by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 5, Funny

    1. Keep in mind that everyone has the exact same needs you do, so everyone by extension should own your device because you are happy with it.

    2. Point out that nobody would ever buy it because your current device does everything anyone could ever want in the world.

    3. When someone points out that not everyone owns your device, say they should and thus have no reason to have any interest in the new product which is just a ripoff of your device anyway.

    4. When someone points out that your device probably doesn't suit every user, say that only the stupid ones who don't know how to use it would be unhappy with it.

    5. If they persist, question the sexuality of the person and call them a fanboy of the competing brand. Checkmate.
