    I'm pretty sure that there are already rumors of the first software update to be pushed out in a month. Hopefully it will fix them.

    Those Palm Pre figures are wrong. Also, the Droid data is based on a false premise. Sure, WHERE is typically installed on about 10% of launch units, but let's not forget that the Droid doesn't have a Yelp app or anything like that. The closest comparable thing on Android is WHERE. So it's very possible that those 25,000 activations account for far more than 10% of devices sold. I'm not saying it's not plausible, but 250,000 for the opening week sounds far too optimistic. #motorola

    That's the truth John, sometimes it hurts. It's ok, embrace it and, over time, the pain fades. or you can take the easy route and just become apathetic about everything. #xkcd

    I guess it should be funny, but with "there's an app for that" and (insert reference to something being arbitrarily being rejected from the app store) being a bit overused, I guess it just comes off as a bit stale. #xkcd

    @Yuppers: The fart app is an allusion to true happiness you get when you release your own flatulence. The more time you spend with the app, the sooner you forget how to cut your own cheese. Ditch the app; stay natural. #xkcd

    In reply to Why Aren't More People Talking About the Palm Pixi?
    In what way is Gizmodo "all over" the Pixi? Just search the site itself:

    Palm Pixi = 7 posts
    Droid Eris = 7 posts
    Droid = 20+ posts

    Besides, the biggest audience of consumers (i.e., people who just want a cheap new phone) don't care what the Internet thinks anyway; they'll just buy whatever's on sale at Best Buy or Walmart. #data

    It isn't eye candy.

    If you take a look at the Droid, Hero, Pre, HD2, they are all very sexy phones. While the Eris is pretty bland, you have more screen to jazz the phone up. With the Pixi, it just looks like a Pre that hit a midlife crisis and started to get bigger in all the wrong places.

    I would definitely blame the Eris search popularity on the Droid bit though.

    Palm coulda been a contenda, but it didn't make quite an impact the first go, made your girly hands recoil in pain with its ginsu-knife edge, the iPhone continued to be more popular, Android started to matter more, and the on/off again crazy-stalker-boyfriend/girlfriend relationship with iTunes made it a little bit of a joke. It doesn't really do anything particularly special, it looks like Farnsworth's pressure pill, and its mama dresses it funny. The Pixi is like the last American Idol winner. What's his/her name again? Who gives a rat's gonads.

    Wow, using the trend charts to determine which tech is more popular reminds me of the blu-ray vs. hd-dvd days. Only difference is that you actually acknowledge that some people can't spell (or spell correctly causing "blue-ray" to not show up on the charts) #data

    Because the internet is well aware of the truth: Palm, and every device they make from here on out, is doomed.

    They could make a phone with an embedded fleshlight wide enough around to take me without a problem and I still wouldn't give a flying fuck. #data

    @TheSonOfKrypton: The Internet has been well aware of that "truth" since, oh, 2004. People have been proclaiming "Palm is dead" FOREVER.

    Lo and behold, Palm is still here. Funny that... you'd almost think the Internet was full of armchair CEOs pulling predictions outta their ass with no real clue...
