I decided to go with the Palm Pre over the iPhone this weekend. Phone is on a week back order (as expected) but I'm stoked. Anyone else own one?
I wished the Iphone had that. I'm sure they will add it eventually and act like it's the greatest thing since sliced bread and they came up with an entirely new concept.you can have mulitple windows up, its great.
the multitasking is epic
Not to mention the compatibility of the iPod/iPhone, how many cars do you know of that come pre-wired for a palm-pre, mytouch, or blackberry?Apple brought its much-anticipated new device — the iPhone 3G S — to market at the end of the second quarter of 2009, but its full potential will only start to show in the sales figures in the second half of 2009.
No need for prewiring as they are blue tooth so they are pretty much universal. Ford Sync, heard of it? I can BT my TP and play music right from it but my co worker has to plug in his iphone to play music. Hell, he has to plug it in anyways cause battery life barely lasts a full day for him. Even my boss rags on the iphone and including my execs. They all hate the battery life but need to be in the "cool exec tech clic"like omg, you have to jailbreak, oh noes!!1! i jailbroke 2 iphones at my gym last night while i was drinking my protein shake (this includes obtaining the proper firmware and jailbreaking software), don’t tell anyone, but you don’t have to be a l33t hax0r
based on the rate that apple is snatching up market share (and considering that programs work across all generations 99% of the time), which platform would you want to develop for?
2.8% to 13.3% from Q2 2008 to Q2 2009! that kind of momentum is hard to stop, especially considering that it doesn’t tell the full story...

sure, i agree, a non-jailbroken iPhone is not the greatest, but once they are opened up they are the best out there currently. great hardware, great firmware (esp. when jailbroken), great compatibility, tons of accessories, and a HUGE fan base with tons of developers.
