    In reply to Palm Pre: "Better Than Viagra"
    Yo, Mr. Pre guy, better be careful about claiming your product acts like a drug or the FDA will come cracking down on you like they did with Cheerios.


    "The Food and Drug Administration says General Mills, the maker of Cheerios, is making inappropriate claims about the cereal's health benefits. Enforcement action may include seizure of violative products and/or injunction against the manufacturers and distributors of violative products."


    But also man, do you get a hard on from the Pre? Because that is a hilarious fetish. You must go through one of them a day at least with such "love"!

    In reply to Palm Pre: "Better Than Viagra"
    Palm Pre or Viagra, this is just too tough a decision. I mean, on one hand, Viagra might send me to a funny-shaped coffin, but on the other hand, I might be distracted by the suppository-shaped Pre and get hit by a bus.

    @does the aero shake_Nick: Kaiser's problem is that, well, you know... He's (whispering)one of them(/whispering), er so he wears his around his neck like a tie.


    Viagra (Or a certain Motorola employee) would cause him to choke to death.

    In reply to Palm Asks the SEC to Dismiss Roger McNamee's Senseless iPhone Rambling as Just That
    So Apple is upset about someone spouting FUD about Apple products? Or puffing the hell out of the capabilities of their handset?

    "No one will ever use an iPhone again!!!"


    "With browsing speeds a million times faster than the iPhone!!!"


    "RIM and Apple use leeches from the 19th century in their OS!!!"


    "Every human on Earth will buy ten!!!"


    "You can use it to call GOD!!!"


    ... are the sort of things you'd expect a guy to say who just sunk around half a billion dollars into a company that's bet the farm on a single gadget during a recession.

    If I would consider a Pre, I would await some real tests of the thing before switching, especially considering previous Palm products.

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but I seem to recall the original iPhones weren't under contract, so his entire premise is suspect.

    In reply to Palm's Sugar Daddy Serves Up Another Load of iPhone Trash Talk
    While I hope he is right, I am very dubious on his prediction of the scale of success that the Pre will enjoy.


    I think he overestimates the judgment of the average cell phone buyer/user. He is clearly an uber-nerd, but the bulk of the buyers of the iPhone are not uber-nerds they are average people who noticed that there was a smart-ish-phone/media player that they would be capable of figuring out without too much trouble.


    I'm sure that most of the tech-savy oriented features of the pre will be lost on those folks. Hopefully Palm will be able to make the normal/novelty/useful features easy enough for average people to manage.


    I'm not saying that the Pre won't be a success, but my guess is that this guy is really just trying to startup his own reality distortion field to boost sales at launch.

    Uh, I'm not switching to Sprint so that means I won't be getting a Pre.


    I didn't upgrade to the 3G but I'm waiting to see what Apple has in mind for the 3rd generation iPhone.
