    The thing about Palm is they might not have Apple-like cult status, but there are still a lot of Palm fans out there. Plus, compared to the Centro, and the old Palm OS, Web OS is nice, new and shiny. About the biggest problems with WebOS is, its tied to one carrier that isn't a big one. Sprint, while a large company, is nothing when compared to AT&T and Verizon. When the Pre branches out to all major networks, I can see it being a small success, and really taking Palm further more than any other phone previous to it. Just look at Apple when it switched to OS X, it was a rough transition, but once it got going, it turned into a really nice OS.
