Palm Pre Is Out, Time For Discussion

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."

    Disagree. iPhone apps are written in Objective-C. They do not run in the browser at all. They are standalone applications much like on a PC or Mac desktop.

    Considering Safari 4 is in Beta you'll get a better browser experience for the iPhone when iPhone OS 3.0 is released--iPhone OS 2.0 isn't even near Safari 4's current progress.
