After the iPhone 3.0 with a battery life of 12 minutes, will we see the iPhone 4.0 with fusion powered processors and a battery life of 4 seconds? Somehow, I don’t think massive processing power in a competitor is Palm’s biggest problem. Not even in the top ten.

Nice try John (biased Apple, but I don’t own stock). Apple had every opportunity to show their new iPhone features at Macworld and CES but they were no-shows.
One upmanship is standard for tech and it didn’t take too long to copy the iPhone best features and improve them.
It appears that Apple has decided to launch new products via blogs and rumors. How’s that for high tech!
The real story is Google and their late to the party Android on a 4th place network T-Mobile. With their bad boy spokesman on dui charges. (insert replay of Dell dude)

Do i think that it’s multi-touch that has mobile users looking forward to the Pre?

Judging from the manner in which Palm touted that feature throughout its demo yesterday and the public’s response to it, yes, I do.

Onward …

I’m clearly not touting quad core and iChat AV Mobile as iPhone features. The point of this post is really about Palm attempting to stage a comeback in a sector in which the competition is so fierce and the pace of innovation so furious, that it’s entering the market with an enormous disadvantage — regardless of how wonderful Pre and Web OS might be. No matter how high your opinion of the Pre, the device furlongs behind its rivals in some very important areas. Will seemless and efficient multitasking make up for that?

This wanna be is going nowhere. First, of course, it is a clone of the iPhone, showing little originality.”

Let me guess. The iPhone was your first smart phone, wasn’t it?

Apple is truly innovative. The rest are just empty suits, sitting around a conference table.”

Why do you talk as if the iPhone is the undisputed “King of Smart Phones”?

In 2008, Symbian, BlackBerry and Windows Mobile ALL outsold the iPhone, even after the hype of its worldwide launch. When you finally step out of the Reality Distortion Field, you’ll see that the world is bigger than just the iPhone.

Everybody WANTS a nice web browser, but the want of a nice browser is outweighed by the need for proper contact/calendar handling across multiple accounts (oh and actually editing docs on the go).

There is no “one phone” for everybody. Everybody I know realizes that, except some of my iPhone using friends.

This wanna be is going nowhere. First, of course, it is a clone of the iPhone, showing little originality.
Second, what the dimwits who review this stuff fail to mention, time and again, is the huge installed base: iTunes, iPhoto, and of course, the Apps store, none of which the other “smartphones” have.

Apple is truly innovative. The rest are just empty suits, sitting around a conference table.

Really? Do you think that it’s multi-touch that has mobile users looking forward to the Pre? Did you even read beyond the hardware specs of the phone?

Instead of worrying who peed on who’s rug first, look at the way the Palm handles multiple email accounts, SMS/MMS, calendars and contacts. It’s all handled as cleanly as storing the login info in the phone’s database, and makes us of HTML 5’s ability to manage local data for web apps even when there’s no connection (if Gmail or Facebook is down).

There isn’t a phone that comes CLOSE to the seamless integration this promises.

Are they just rumor and speculation? For now, certainly…”

Unsubstantiated rumors of Quad Core on the iPhone? Tout it as a feature. Nvidia actually providing demos of it’s Tegra mobile chipset? I can hear the crickets chirping.

I’m eagerly awaiting your post on the Palm lack of a 16Gb option, therefore cementing the iPhone as the all time leader in the smart phone race.
