Rebooting Palm? Is this palmcast going to take 5 minutes? =P
+100 lmao
Here is hoping HP Palm release a divice comparable in dimensions to the Samsung Epic but better for Sprint. If its too long a wait I got to go. I've been upgrade eligible for almost 6 months now and still sporting a Pre(-).
I haven't posted a positive or negative comment/review/forum post in over 2 months. I have gone from following all things webOS daily to weekly. There is nothing to get excited about. I can't believe this company has allowed it to get this bad. Even hardcore fan boys are leaving. They should reward some people for sticking around. Turn in an original Sprint Pre and get $100 off a new phone when it is available on Feb 15th. I am actaully beginning to hate this company. Would love for them to win me back though. Consider me a jilted lover of webOS.
+1. I've nearly stopped checking precentral, and only occasionally listen to podcast. (incidentally, don't see #128 in drPodder yet?) it's sad that the only reason to hang on to Palm is its community.
still, I can't see myself on AT&T, so no iPhone. And android... Well, not yet. When Pre dies, I'll face the music.
It cracks me up when people act like HP/Palm somehow owes them something.
The fanboy base for Palm is tiny. If the fb base leaves, it will hardly be noticed.
HP will release a new device when they decide a new device is ready. It's that simple.
Also this shizzle isn't updated on my favorite podcastation... Clicking on the link shows that it is only updated to 127
Agreed. Isn't showing up in my Dr. Podder.
Best.
Palmcast.
EVAR!
Simply because my intro kicked off the podcast :)
