Great Podcast as always!

I just want to say that I'm from Mexico and I just recently got my Palm Pr

What youmail fee were you guys talking about? I have a youmail account and the only fees that I'm aware are:

1) fees for voice -> text transcription
2) fees for the pro service - more storage, no ads
3) fees for premium greetings

But, all of those fees are optional. You can certainly get youmail with the default configuration.

All that said, I don't use youmail. I use google voice for my voicemail. The reason is that gv allows me to make up for some of the deficiencies of the pre. For example, a *huge* number of calls that go to voicemail for me are of the type where the phone is so laggy that I can't answer, even though I want to.

I've set up google voice so that when my Sprint conditionally forwards my calls to gv, it will first try to ring my other phones. On weekdays, it tries to ring my work phone. Otherwise it tries to ring my home phone. If those phones don't answer, *then* it goes to voicemail.

This shouldn't be required. My phone shouldn't be this laggy. But it is. And GV allows me to make up for at least one of the Pre's faults.

GREAT Show.

I liked it better than usual. No offense to Dieter, but with only 2 people on the show, there were no annoying interruptions, trying to talk over one another or one-up the other guy.

(Same opinion about Buzz Out Loud and other podcasts)

Thanks for this Palm-picture. I've seen a good one at essays online.
