Last week, I posted a little blurb Apple made about the Palm Pre and iTunes syncing. It was essentially a big “Fuck You” to Palm and its iPhone competitor, the Pre. Now Sprint is striking back with an ad that directly attacks Apple and AT&T. If things keep up this way, we’re in for a long summer. Link

Oh boy. This chart is just TOO GOOD not to post. It shows how long it took Apple to roll out 50,000 applications on its App Store (about 10 months) and compares that to Palm’s turtle-esque growth. After more than ten years, the Palm OS (not to be confused with the Pre’s WebOS) had only ~29,000 apps. What does that ...

Earlier in the year, Apple threw a hissy fit over the Palm Pre and its multi-touch abilities. Now Apple is going public again without naming any names. It states that third-party DMPs may sync with iTunes but that it’s totally unsupported and they could lose that feature in the future. This means that Apple will soon release an iTunes update ...

Well, not quite. It’s actually an open-source Doom clone called PRDoom. Some sneaky hacker got it working on his Palm Pre, as shown in the above video. Looks like a good way to kill a couple hours at the office on Friday… Link

Over the weekend, Palm launched its comeback kid, the Pre. Equipped with a WebOS, multi-touch gestures and the Spring network, it seems as if someone is finally ready to take on Apple and the iPhone. So what went down? Generally, response was positive. Reviews around the ‘net indicate the Pre is a solid phone and that Sprint’s network works like ...

In other words, go get one, and now, before it’s to late. If Twitter users are any kind of indication of Palm’s customer base, the Palm Pre is starting to sell out at stores nationwide. PANIC! Because everyone knows, since the phone is selling so well, Palm will be sure to halt all production and restocking efforts so eager buyers ...

The mysterious Boy Genius is known for getting his hands on cellphones before they’re released. This time around, he’s got a Palm Pre and took plenty of photos to prove it. But big whoop: what’s he think about the device? The Pre feels really good in your hand in terms of size and shape, but there�s a real plasticky aura ...

Sprint and Palm just let the cat out of the bag: Come June 6th, you’ll be able to pick up a supposedly “decent” rival to the iPhone. The Pre will cost $199.99 after contract agreements and rebates, and will be sold Radio Shack, Best Buy and Walmart. Awesome? I guess, but does anyone use Sprint? I have zero friends with ...

Or are you just happy to see me? Nah, I’m pretty sure that’s a Pre. Link

Embargo? Ha! I laugh at the very notion of withholding back an opinion for a specified period of time! Or at least PreThinking.com does. I have a feeling these guys are breaking a few NDAs here and there by posting a full review of the Pre, but hey, not our problem. While this particular review tends to kiss ass to ...
