    Hey plusEric, I'm not replying to you because that would inadvertently make it so you can comment. I just want to point out how if you have a problem with the site, feel free to leave. This article has nothing to do with the iPhone

    @Identity: Paradise City.: I guess I should leave a relevant comment also, sorry.

    I'm kinda excited about this. If the framework isn't too difficult to learn, I may take it upon myself to make a Pre game. But I won't set my goals too high.

    Dammit. I need eyedrops.

    The only reason I clicked on this story was because I thought it said "Palin's Working on the Pre's Gaming Problem" and I thought "That can't be right!"

    The entire job description on Palm's site is: "design, implement, debug, and optimize frameworks for game development and then quit before the job is done" so I think they're looking for her.

    In reply to Apple's Internal Secrecy Protocol Is Ridiculous
    A lot of these practices are directly gleaned from how the government handles and secures classified information.


    In a previous life as an Army intelligence analyst, I worked in a secure, compartmented information facility (SCIF). We had the red siren lights, electromagnetically sealed door, MP sitting outside, periodic "sanitizations" where everything had to be identified and filed, even if you were just going to pull the same file again once the area was sanitized, etc.


    It makes sense, but it's still funny to think of the cell phone market in such a serious, cut-throat, high-stakes manner.

Get me a jury and show me how you can say "IPhone", and I'll go down on you. That's just idiotic, if you'll forgive me by saying so. That's just stupid, "IPhone"; I'd love to know how you emphasize 'i' in "iPhone"...impossible! Meaningless!"

    Well, when I worked in a mail room, I had 4 cameras on me at all times in a room which was at most 20x20, and required three different badge swipes to get into.


    Do the product testing rooms have windows into which something could be seen/glanced?

    In reply to Palm Pre's App Catalog Won't Get Really Open Until This Summer
    This is hilarious? Guys...Can't you see what Palm is trying to do? They are attempting to take a play outta Apple's playbook: "Release the product. Let it build up a ridiculous amount of fervor as it relates to releasing your own apps for it. SLIGHTLY quell the fervor with web apps, which, ultimately, only serve to build it up even higher....THEN release an SDK."


    They are attemtpting to building up a community that wants to develop for the Pre BADLY, just like Apple did. Think about it (now that we have the bonus of hindsight), this is EXACTLY what Apple did. It's genius. Assuming that you don't have another 800 lb gorilla in the room just WAITING for you to slip up so it can move so far ahead of you that you can't catch up.....

    @TheSonOfKrypton: The problem with this, if this is actually what they intend to do, is that there's already competition out there. People are impatient. They run the very real risk of losing customers to other platforms.

    Isn't it Summer, in 2 days from now? Late summer is what? Two months? A lot of babies on these tech sites, expecting everything and anything to be out as soon as the damn phone is for retail. Grow up and stop being babies, it's pathetic.

    @Jason Chen: While he could have said it better, I do agree that it's not really something to complain about. Some people are making it seem that the SDK is still 6 months from lauch when it's probably anywhere from 1.5-3 months away. Not a lot of time when you're going to be in a 24 month contract.

    As a Pre owner, I have to say this is pretty darn disappointing. While I agree that it's better than the iPhone's SDK launch, saying it's better than something that happened years ago doesn't really justify it now. Granted, I love my Pre and wouldn't give it up at this point for anything, but Palm should have learned and had it ready to go at launch to avoid this.
