It would be interesting to see if they actually restart manufacturing of new inventory and keep the price at $99. I doubt it, but would be pretty crazy if they did.

After reading that article, you could infer that they might...which would be bananas!
- JA Castillo
i'd buy one at $99.

Does the HP TouchPad Have More Tablet Apps Than Android? | News & Opinion | PCMag.com - http://www.pcmag.com/article...
The HP TouchPad has nearly 400 apps at launch, HP said today. Apple's iPad hit the 100,000 mark recently, according to MacStories.net. But the five Google Android Honeycomb tablets that have come out since April only had 232 apps as of June 2, according to a frequently cited statistic from AndroidCentral.com. What's up with that?

Before my phone decided to reset itself, bork all my settings and dump all my Homebrew apps, I had it set so that I had separate notifications for my Gmail and work accounts.

I had individual email icons along the bottom of the screen and when it was docked, a Gmail icon and a general envelop icon if I had emails in both accounts. Anyone have their Pre set this way or now how to do it?
- JA Castillo
it does that even without homebrew. just start adding accounts. for Gmail it automatically picks up the gmail logo, exchange picks up the outlook logo, etc.

Here's what I was looking for! Thanks for helping out Chris. :) http://bit.ly/adxNWp
- JA Castillo
oh wow I never knew that was there. I've wanted that so many times. too bad I won't have this phone for much longer.
- chrisofspades
Really? What are you looking to replace it with?
- JA Castillo
I got the Evo. told you it wouldn't be much longer :)
- chrisofspades
Did you look at or consider the Samsung Galaxy at all? What made the EVO the one for you?
- JA Castillo
I did look at the Samsung phone too. they are pretty much the same phone, the biggest differences being the physical keyboard, the UI, and $50. since I didn't really like Samsung's keyboard or UI, I saved my $50 and went with the Evo.
- chrisofspades
I fondled one of the Galaxy's at a SPRINT event announcing 4G here in Jax. It's spiffy, but felt a smidge cheaper than the EVO and yeah, it's $50 more expensive. Just curious what other think of the two. Hope to slide over to the EVO if I don't see any really spiffTASTIC WebOS hardware soon.
- JA Castillo
The epic is way smoother / faster... even with 2.1 its faster than Anika's evo on 2.2. Oh and: http://friendfeed.com/iphone...

tip 1 - don't buy an Evo
- Jeff (Team マクダジ )
why not?
- chrisofspades
Yeah, my 12 - 15 hours of battery time on my EVO sucks!
- Anika
Hahahaha, I was going to sarcastically suggest that the best way would be to leave it on a Touchstone charger as long as possible, as often as possible, but... that actually was their concluding suggestion.

I hope this sets a trend. No more 'tethering' fee. People will want a WiFi hotspot paired with the iPad or other devices.

1.41.1 released for Palm Pre. Not sure of the bug fixes.
Someone tell my what I am doing wrong. Only the EVDO radio is on, no gps, no wifi, light use and I am down to 60% battery life in 6 hours. Is this NORMAL?
I'm really starting to wish I had an HTC Hero instead of the Pre. :(
