@GyroMight: I own the Pre and have used an iPhone (not mine) for a couple days. IMO, the iPhone is the best smartphone available, and it is better than the Pre, but it isn't $100 better.
@KidSix: lmao, that may be true, but the iPhone is actually CHEAPER than a Pre out the gate. You pay $199 for an 8gb Pre. You pay $199 for a 16gb iPhone.....Extrapolating the whole concept of 'unit cost' to 'price per gigabyte', the iPhone is cheaper.
It's only $100 more expensive if you want quadruple the amount of space you'd get in a Palm Pre - 32 gb.
@GyroMight: I have used both, but only own the Pre. Sprint coverage in my area is much better than AT&T's. That could vary greatly depending on where you live though. AT&T just last Christmas got 3G while Sprint has had it for years. Also, the monthly costs come in to play a bit. Sprint includes more for less. But if you're looking at a serious music player or something with lots of apps, go with the iPhone if you don't want to wait. If you want to wait it out, the Pre may come along with some more features but it's no guarantee. Also, test out the keyboard/hardware for yourself. I find the keyboard on the Pre good enough for my uses, but some people consider it a hindrance. The multi-tasking is what definitely has allured me to the Pre. Simply, spend a little time with both of them. Read all of their reviews if you want and see what happens.
Are you certain it is a Woot-off, because it seems to be the same cleaning robot thing that is on there every other time I visit Woot. Perhaps they just sell the same product over and over again. Then again, that would be a bit 'off'.
The iRobot Roomba 418 that's up now isn't even a deal. I just Google searched it and found at multiple other places online for the same price. w00t on!
@Vroomtrap: the actual rooma 415, yes you can find cheaper (but not by much). The roomba with the Roomba Self-Charging kit as a bundle ($50-60). No you can't.
Plus it is a woot tradition and tis the season for traditions
@medopal: A lot of what's on that page isn't "gadgets", but "concepts". The stuff on Woot! is tangible and can be bought, used, and seen. Also, most of the stuff on Woot! can be considered a "Gadget" if we follow the dictionary definition:
gadget
noun
a device or control that is very useful for a particular job
A Roomba is a device that is useful for vacuuming. A bluetooth dongle is a device which is useful for controling or interfacing w/ a bluetooth device. A Leakfrog is a device which monitors the srea around it for water. All of these were found so far on the Woot!-off. So please explain how this is not Gadget related.

PS-For any Woot virgins, I have gotten stuff from them before and no complaints at all.
