It's not an iPhone says it all. Palm has at best a third or fourth place smartphone here which is good, but hardly a match for BlackBerrys or iPhones. Palm is going to be slugging it out with Android, WinMo and Symbian devices and Palm has the least resources of any smartphone company. Ed Colligan might be arrogant now, but after the hype, this Pre is going to have to deliver or Palm will be flushed down the toilet. Forget about this platform ten years from now. Palm will probably struggle to hold out until June when the Pre is launched. Palm can't afford to make any mistakes while burning through their meager cash reserve. I think the casual handset buyer will probably have thought that Palm went out of business years ago and rightly so.

As surely as "will it blend" posts get low ranked, and rightly so.

This is the stupidest question I've seen all day.
Of course it blends. It ALWAYS blends.

Was that supposed to be a Batman Begins reference?
I prefer Chris Ziegler's quote from Henry Ford.
