Plus, a developer can really do something special with that, if only Palm would release a native SDK. However, now the iPhone 3G S is out with the same processor and graphics chip, it's kind of like Apple said "ok, so, we have the same fast processor and graphics now, and we've added a video camera and voice dialing to boot... what have you got?" They just sucked out a lot of the air that the Pre had, IMO. Don't get me wrong...I'm glad the Pre came around. Otherwise, Apple would have been content to rest on their laurels. Competition is good. Hope the price drop for the 3G doesn't shut out Palm's chances.
