    Paugh. This is not an eReader angle that you should waste time watching, I think.

    Good news. They need some sort of folder system - even just grouping by author would be a big improvement.

    In reply to New Palm Prices: Pixi at $25 and Pre at $80
    Wow, that makes the Pre nearly $1000 dollars cheaper than the iPhone 3GS for an individual, even more savings if you have a family plan.

    $30(per month savings)*24(months)+$220(savings on phone)=$940.

    In my mind there is nothing the iPhone can do that justifies an extra $1000 over the Pre.

    Of course both Sprint's and AT&T's coverage suck in Chicago (especially AT&T's) so I'm on Verizon.

    @elementary: I dunno about that. Everyone I know who got a Pre when they first came out really, really regrets doing it, and everyone I know who has an iPhone (including myself) is so happy with it that they come off as shameless douches whenever they tell someone about it.

    Lest we forget, the 8GB iPhone 3G is $99. And still a better phone than the Pre.

    See, I kinda sound like a douche right now. I must be a totally satisfied iPhone customer!

    @lolbrbnvm:

    I'm betting the only reason your friends regret it is the fact they don't have nearly as many apps. As for the iPhone, if you like getting gouged on monthly rates, I suppose anyone can be happy.

    @Fractal the Meek: Sprint doesn't work in my condo, but seems to do fine elsewhere. Obviously that still makes it a no-go for me. Sucks, I'd be back with Sprint in a second otherwise.

    AT&T on the other hand works fine in my condo, but elsewhere in the city, not so much.

    As much as I hate Verizon, I've never been without coverage in the city.

    How long do I need to wait until they pay me to take one out of their inventory? A couple weeks? Well, some company had to be the basement of the smart phone business, it is just sad that Palm had to take that role.

    @weatherman: My guess is he was talking about the Pre, not the Pixi, ignoring its existence entirely. Kinda like how you treated the "special" class in high school when they joined you for lunch. I mean, I'm sure it's a wonderful phone, and it's not the Pixi's fault it was born without WiFi and is, if we're being candid, a little slow. Still...I mean, do you have to buy it? I'm sure the Pixi will be fine if you ignore it. I mean...it probably won't even understand that you're avoiding it.

    So it's, in essence, a non-touchscreen PADD? Seems like Star Wars and Star Trek tech is imminent.

    If you're thinking about getting a PSP Go... stop.

    That's not even meant to be a bad stop/go pun - it's just a really bad product. #pspgogiftcard

    which you will need to get a game. because there is no price break for digital copies. which is f'ng lame.

    Wow, it's really weird you'd post this only a couple days after I just happened to order Robocop and Terminator from Amazon. It's not really a sale, the prices have been that low for awhile. As I never got to see these movies in the theater (sheltered child) it seemed like a good pair of movies to start my jump to Blu Ray. #bluray
