The Pre is HOT! Everytime something better or close to better comes people get scared and start hattin. I just want to know when its coming out and what bugs are going to have to be worked out?

Now, Apple steal some ideas from different companies include brought some of companies for that patents. Well...I am afraid that Apple will be more suffer to face the truth come out in the court that Apple actually not make any ideas of that own patents.

Let Apple pay for that costly dearest. Drain their budget down. Let their stocks down. Take away from Apple's patents to rightful Original owners of different companies.

Apple will have to pay Palm for those royalty fees thru Apple's iPhone and iPod products.

Those public will paint on Apple's icon into ugly picture.

I can't wait and see that happen soon.

Good luck to Apple, Congraduation to Palm for success.

“Apple rocks, goodbye Palm.” —> I hate these comments.

Are you an idiot? or just another fangirlboy?

I have an iphone, and I am also a developer. I had a palm treo before this. The only thing the iphone can do natively that my 4 year old treo could’nt, is wifi and gps. I do like it now, but I and millions of other business and IT professionals managed without it just fine. My Palm treo even had the ability to use touch signals with zooming and scrolling abilities using programs that supported it. One that did was a file reader called “Picsel Proviewer” do a search on youtube for demos. Most of the demos are on windows mobile devices but it did work on Palm OS treos as well. Actually apple probably stole the tech from these guys. All the while you guys were probably having wet dreams about your new Razor.

I am looking forward to the Palm Pre even if they pay Crapple money to license the stolen technology…. its better then the iphone simply because it runs on Linux.

My question to dumb asses/crapple fanboys/girls.

Do you really think the OS on the iphone is better then a full running linux OS which is what the Palm Pre runs on?… do you even understand the possiblities that could bring? I am talking about all the things like flash support, copy/paste, native divx support, etc… Yes, I know there are some 3rd party apps that allow some copy and pasting. Ha…now you fanboys cant say, hey dumb ass, their are apps that allow copy-paste. Sure if that’s what you want to call it. Also TomTom navigator fully ran on my treo. Iphone doesnt even have any real offline maps app. Just some that allow you to download sections of google maps to view offline. In comparison to TomTom…there is no comparison. I was given this iphone as payment for a job. I had never planned to purchase one. My treo still works fine and I still use TomTom on it all the time.

You freaking crapple fangirlboys need to take a class on technology and computers…..button pushing morons.

Hey Tim Cook… suck my %$#@!!! “Tim Cook has been quoted saying that, “Well, I don’t want to talk about any specific company. I’m just making a general statement that we think competition is good. It makes us all better. And we are ready to suit up and go against anyone”

Apple doesnt beleive in competition at all. That’s why their computers only use certain hardware. If they really believed in competition they would open up there system for all hardware manufacturers. I can buy the same hardware that is in your G5 for a fraction of the cost. If a pretty case means that much to you…then…well that’s just sad… oh you can find those too.

I will end with this..

Anyone who thinks ONE company can make better products then HUNDREDS of companies competing to be the best.

Is smoking crack.

I hope Palm figures out a way to own Apple.

Apple knew the product they wanted to develop, did the research for who owns the patents and bought the company, Fingerworks, who was in the way. As obvious as multi-touch seems today, the dopes at Palm were still pushing the stylus (single touch) methods until the iPhone came out. Palm can still come out with the Pre as is, but they'll end up having to license this technology from Apple since they hold the patent. Apple didn't just file for the patent, they've been awarded the patent. It's official folks.

It is very petty, Apple was completely blind sided by the introduction of the Pre, I believe Apple is very worried. As for multi-touch, Apple does not have a Patent on multi-touch, multi-touch is used by thousands of terminals, computers, cash registers, etc. Take ATM's for example, Diebold (involved in election fraud) machines have been using multi-touch for years.

U? What's U?

I don't know what "u ppl" or "r" is. I'm an adult. Good luck on future job applications.

but honestly, i don't think apple should pursue them for 2 reasons: 1. doing so would admit that there could be anything actually close to beating the iphone. 2. it would kinda hurt their image a little bit and they may be seen as "the big bully on campus" instead of the "game saving underdog" that we know and love.

if they really do own all that "intellectual property" then i cannot oppose their decision to go after them. they would have every right to do that but other consumers may be a bit more ignorant on their perspectives.

those are just my opinions tho and i'm definitely open minded.

....... LOL!

Let's face it, Palm even mimicked Steves iPhone launch keynote! There not hiding the fact this is an iPhone clone - they just think they can get away with it.
