BUZZKILL - Jay Cuthrell
barter - Jay Cuthrell
another way to say this is to understand that corporations are in now way on the level of sophistication of a startup - Jay Cuthrell
I was hoping the judges would ask why they have not build the company on their own service - Jay Cuthrell
Excess capacity of service is NOT barter and the notion that this is goats and gold is specious - Jay Cuthrell
Body language on stage from judges indicates.... long day - Jay Cuthrell
On stage: mota motors - Jay Cuthrell
used cars.... this should be interesting - Jay Cuthrell

Tony: he didn't see anything - Jay Cuthrell
Paul Y Combinator guy: launch concerns - Jay Cuthrell
bogus --- there is no way to cover this in a short amount of time on a stage - Jay Cuthrell
good exposure though ;-) - Jay Cuthrell
okay... day 1 is done and the after stuff begins - Jay Cuthrell from BuddyFeed
Open for questions/clarification - Jay Cuthrell
Joe Hewitt
Once again, the app has not been rejected. It will probably be available by the weekend.
Thanks Joe, can't wait. It's gonna be great!! :-) - John Keith from iPhone
Robert Scoble
@sushantanand I love SimplyTweet. I don't have ANY issues with it. Sync? I don't do stuff that needs syncing on Twitter.
SimplyTweet is probably the best iPhone Twitter app out right now, but it isn't getting much attention. - Justin Luey
Interesting. Will have a look. - Roberto Bonini
What does it do that makes it better than Tweetie? It doesn't look at nice, visually, to me. Sell me on it - tell me why it's wonderful, and convince me to spend $5 to try it. :-) - Josh Bancroft
Josh: I forget now, but there was something that pissed me off about Tweetie that I forget now. Hey, if Tweetie is working for you, why switch? - Robert Scoble
Not really looking to switch, but I'm something of an afficionado of iPhone Twitter apps. :-) Tweetie, Birdfeed, Twitterrific, and TweetDeck are all great. I wasn't saying "why should I dump Tweetie", I was afraid there was something really cool about SimplyTweet that I'm missing out on. That's what I meant by "convince me". :-) - Josh Bancroft
I took a look at SimplyTweet. I guess I don't get what makes it better than any other Twitter app. So far, TweetDeck strikes me as having the best set of features and ease of use. SimplyTweet doesn't appear to have anything special except for "push" notifications. - Otto
I tested most of the twitter apps very long. In my opinion Twitterrific and Twittelator are the most powerful and featurerich apps. Twittelator is my favorite at the moment beacause images are shown direct in the feed as thumbnails. It´s really nice... They are both very well designed. Additionally i can recommend iTweetReply for push notifications and Birdbrain to manage your followers in an excellent way... - Flynn (Michael A. Volz)
I've been using Boxcar for push notification of @replies and DMs, and it works GREAT. The cool thing is that it doesn't matter what Twitter app you use. It "supports" several, like Tweetie, Twitterrific, etc., if you want to open the notifications in an app, but I don't use it that way. It's nice not to be tied to one client, because as I mentioned, I have 5 or 6 of them installed at any given time. :-) - Josh Bancroft

DO ANYBODY NO?

*wipes tears from eyes* about 55,600,000 results *dead* I'm going to be laughing about this for a week! - Sels
See, it's a handy search! http://ff.im/6cZe3 - Christopher Harley
more accurate if you use quotes: "do anybody no." Only 2,870 results there. - Glen Campbell, B.A.
:D did you see who the top rankers were! HAHAHA! Do anyone *really* no Louis Gray? - WorldofHiglet
LOL! - jcunwired
Along the same lines, you can search "somebody axed me" for 1030 results. - jcunwired
Paul Buchheit
Less Wrong: The Two-Party Swindle - http://lesswrong.com/lw...
This post pretty much summarizes my thoughts on most politics, though of course this is all the fault of the other side ;). "Group identification is pretty much the service provided by football players, and since that service can be provided to many people simultaneously, salaries are naturally competitive. Fans pay for tickets voluntarily, and everyone knows the score. It would be a very different matter if your beloved professional football players held over you the power of taxation and war, prison and death. Then it might not be a good idea to lose yourself in the delicious rush of group identification." - Paul Buchheit from Bookmarklet
This is the kind of B.S. that the Republicans want you to believe, that there's no difference between the parties, and that Gore would have been no different than Bush. Fortunately, with the kind of issues that are at stake, Americans are beginning to wise up. The parties really *are* different, and what you vote for matters! - Piaw Na
Well done Piaw :) - Paul Buchheit
Interesting article. A lot of food for thought. - Doug
To be clear, the point is not that both sides are the same, but that by getting caught up in the drama of us vs them, we are easily manipulated. Divide and conquer is one of the oldest and most effective strategies. - Paul Buchheit
If you polled Americans in 1974, the consensus would have been that there was no difference between parties. That consensus has since broken down. It's all documented in Paul Krugman's book: http://piaw.blogspot.com/2007.... That book did predict that the Republicans will have an increasingly hard time winning elections, and the basic reason is... more... - Piaw Na
If anyone here says the answer to fixing the divide-and-conquer problem is remembering that "we're all Americans", I'm going to smack them. =) - Andrew C
"As for the Blue Spectators catching on, that's not very likely. See, one of the cheers of the Green side is "Even if the Blues win, they won't install new seat cushions!" So if a Blue Spectator says, "Hey, Blue Players, we cheered real hard and you won the last game! What's up with the cold steel seats?" all the other Blue Spectators will stare aghast and say, "Why are you calling a... more... - Paul Buchheit
I don't think that perspective accurately captures what it's like when the Democrats are in power. For instance, when Clinton was in the white house, there was no shortage of criticism from the left. Read some of Paul Krugman's old books from the 90s. Now that Obama's in charge, Krugman's also giving him a hard time (as am I). By contrast, there's never been a word from Mankiw, et. al, criticizing the Bush administration. As Will Rogers said, "I belong to no organized political party. I am a Democrat!" - Piaw Na
Piaw, I think you may be misunderstanding the thesis of the article and are focusing on a separate political phenomenon. In any case, as to your point re: conservative/liberal criticism of sitting presidents, I would (pardon the snark) send you over to Google. ;) http://tinyurl.com/nm9gqz - Doug
The article goes a little too far, though. "Why are professional football players better paid than truck drivers? Because the truck driver divides the world into Favorite-Team and Rival-Team." Uh, no, it's because professional football players are entertainers. The Hollywood entertainment machine doesn't have this form of ritualized group identification and yet top actors can make as much or more than pro sports players. Divide and conquer doesn't explain everything. - Andrew C
As well, I honestly think there are valid fundamental philosophies that tie together the disparate ideas of each 'big tent'. It's not like Democrats arrived at their policies by picking them randomly from a hat. - Andrew C
(Now that said, big companies have indeed been able to achieve impressive marketing victories by pursuing multiple-brand strategies... consider Starbucks & its subsidiary brands like Seattle's Best Coffee...) - Andrew C
No, I'm not misunderstanding the article. It tries very hard to get you to believe that the parties are just like football teams, and there's no difference as to which one you back. I don't believe that's true, and fortunately, neither do most Americans who vote. This "parties are the same" attitude worked in Bush's favor in 2000, and it will continue to work in the Republicans' favor. I'm not buying it, and neither should you. - Piaw Na
Piaw, do you believe that the author would agree with your statement that there's no difference between the parties? - Paul Buchheit
Paul, Piaw's not saying that there's no difference between the parties, but I certainly thought Yudkowsky was. - Andrew C
(Some of) the commenters over there also make cogent points about the flaws in Yudkowsky's argument. - Andrew C
Not only that, but he's trying to say that party identification screws with people's ideas about what's right and wrong and what good policy is. As far as I can tell, the liberal establishment (such as there is --- we don't have think tanks like the Republicans do) is just as happy to argue and criticize the Obama administration over important policy issues such as health care and/or... more... - Piaw Na
Piaw - in my experience it's more the libertarians than the Republicans who really push the "the two major parties are essentially the same" line. - Andrew C
Yeah, but most of the libertarian think tanks (such as the Cato institute --- you know, the guys who published that paper from Peter Thiel about how the Republic was a libertarian paradise until we gave women the vote) swing extremely conservative, so I'm very happy to lump them all together with the Republicans. - Piaw Na
So are you an Eagle or a Rattler? "The experiment, conducted in the aftermath of WWII, was meant to investigate conflicts between groups. How would the scientists spark an intergroup conflict to investigate? Well, the first step was to divide the 22 boys into two groups of 11 campers - - and that was quite sufficient. There was hostility almost from the moment each group became aware of... more... - Paul Buchheit
While I think in-group/out-group distinctions can produce exaggerated effects, I don't think they're at the root of the two party divide. - Andrew C
Yeah, the two party divide is between the "I've got mine, F*** you!" and the "There but for the grace of god, go I." Or as they say, a Democrat is a Republican who just got denied health coverage, and a Republican is a Democrat who just got mugged. - Piaw Na
So how many parties should we have? - Gabe
I kind of doubt that more parties helps. The real issue the the psychology the prevents us from seeing the truth. - Paul Buchheit
So maybe we should have zero parties? - Gabe
So Paul, do you think the in-group/out-group dynamics define the entirety of the divide between Republicans and Democrats? (or the right and the left?) - Andrew C

louisgray.com: Google Reader Adds Comments for Social Conversations
louisgray.com: Google Reader Adds Comments for Social Conversations
"Google Reader, the RSS feed engine that has become a major hub in my daily information gathering, pulling in feeds from the hundreds of blogs and Web sites I follow, is taking a step forward in terms of making the service more social, by integrating private conversations between friends. With today's release, every post and every share has an option to add a comment, which will be displayed to your friends who you are connected to." - Louis Gray from Bookmarklet
We're spiraling out of control with all the places comments are sprinkled around the web. Is there any cohesive end in sight? Can mashups really keep it all together or are end users bound to remain confused by the sheer mass of options? Also, any plans for FriendFeed to release a Wordpress comments widget? :) - Ryan Stanley from IM
So...when will these comments be integrated with FF? - Shey, Jamaican of FF
@Ryan You mean Backtype? - Shey, Jamaican of FF
The comments on Google Reader are intended to stay between friends of the service, and not to be exported to FriendFeed or the original blog. Notes, on the other hand, can still flow to FriendFeed. Also, you won't see the comments on my shared items feed if you go to the direct URL. - Louis Gray
And Ryan, Backtype is an excellent solution. - Louis Gray
Probably a good service for people who use Google Reader as their main interface to the world. - Ontario Emperor
Backtype is a great solution, albeit yet another layer. So share on Google Reader, which gets picked up on FF, siphoned over to Twitter, and sync'd with Facebook. Conversations can begin with different people in all those places. Bedlam! Does anyone make effort to siphon discussions to one place or another? - Ryan Stanley
It looks like the Reader team was inspired by FF in terms of the layout & functionality (middle comments merge into link eventually). - Paul Arterburn
Just started using it - a very cool new feature! - Sonya Smith
Then Is not Twitter the "first enemy" of new FriendFeed, but Google Reader .. http://beta.friendfeed.com/cantorj... - Lucio Riccardi - CantorJF

Nikki Cox proves plastic surgery can sometimes be bad - http://www.inquisitr.com/20506...
nikki-cox-plastic-surgery
I wish people would stop with this plastic surgery. Folks are messing up their bodies. - Damond Nollan
Well, at least she was hot *once*... I guess that's something. LOL. - Herb Hernandez
yuk - johnpiercy
Herb, that's a positive spin :-) - Duncan Riley
She's looking like a hot mess. - Derrick
30???? - Anika
harsh... - JA Castillo
why on earth would somebody wear that top with ... well. you get the idea (very sad - looks near 50!) - Susan Beebe
Don't mind me ya'll, I'll just be off in the corner updating my list of celebrities I'm allowed to sleep with. - Joe Pierce
LOL @Joe. - Anika
gravity sucks - johnpiercy
never mind the teets ... look at the fake upper lip ... sheesh louise - johnpiercy
shes got more plastic in her ,, than a bag of legos - johnpiercy
Wait...maybe it isn't plastic surgery. Is it possible that Jay Mohr is some kind of life sucking demon? I mean look at that smug look on his face. He knows something... - Joe Pierce
Eww. - Zach Flauaus
It reminds me that I don't wonder at the poor girls who can barely walk out their door because something is amiss; a hair out of place, something physically not perfect according to the latest Madison avenue magazine definitions. Did they create that culture or did we? Are they just responding to our demands for the impossible? We say no, but why do articles like this gain our attention if that is so? Do we need to really say no? Would this industry finally disappear if we made that plain? - Melanie Reed
And Jay Mohr is looking like the dad from The Incredibles. - Anika
Or are we just basically saying to women like Niki: "We want you to let us look at you when you are young and then when we have gotten you used to all that attention for just looking the way you do, we want you to have the "decency" to get off the stage when you can't look that way anymore." Why do you suppose this is so or not so? And if not, what should women like Niki Cox do? - Melanie Reed
No, Melanie..that's not it at all. - Anika
Anika, she just looks like a person to me. I expect people to change. Whether that is drastic or not it gets to the point for me anymore that I don't want to notice that as the first thing. I want to know you. I want to know who you are....not what you look like. :) - Melanie Reed
If she was aging gracefully, this would be one thing. I have no idea who this person is beyond what I read on via the link. But she's only 30. What we are seeing is the ravages of too much plastic surgery. It's not a natural change. - Anika
Anika, That's my point. Look at our comments and now pretend to be Nikki. How would you take them as Nikki? I'm sorry to say it, but our culture just has not allowed women to "age gracefully" and still treat them the same. We don't see beauty in them as they age. It doesn't matter what they do or don't do. The comments about how they look follow. They're everywhere you go. I think society bears at least some responsibility. - Melanie Reed
Comments about plastic surgery aside, the photographer who took this shot took other photos where the couple still looks fabulous (http://tinyurl.com/dnkhl8). Everyone can take a bad photo...and unfortunately, it seems that once women AND men are of a certain age, the bad ones sell better than the good. - Jess
? That's her mom. right? - Shey, Jamaican of FF
Oh, well see I think that's a load of crap. Women can and do age gracefully all the time and men (and women) still drool over them. And when these people (men or women) get all this frivolous plastic surgery done, it's clearly not for us because most people are immediately turned off by it. - Anika
I should add, that I'm thinking of Faye Dunaway. She lived down the street from me & whenever people saw her, they'd comment on how lovely she looked. Then she had all that work done a few years ago. It was hideous & she didn't need it, but it's done. She didn't do that for us. She did that for herself. - Anika
damn I had a huge celeb crush on her in high school - Adam Ostrow

New Twitter Code For Retweet: ♺ - http://www.stoweboyd.com/message...
Am I the only one who sees a playing card-like icon here? It's got the number 26 on top, 78 on the bottom. Can't imagine using that instead of 'RT'. - Hutch Carpenter
Hutch, are you running Firefox on XP? I'm getting the same problem. I think XP doesn't have good enough Unicode support or something. (http://www.stoweboyd.com/message...) - Daniel J. Pritchett
I thought I heard that because Twitter measures in bytes and not characters it doesn't save a space. I think it's silly, personally. - Jennifer Leggio
I commented on the post - I think this is a dumb idea, personally. It brings no benefits and may actually be a step backward. - Mack D. Male
okay apparently that WON'T catch on. If people are having this much difficulty getting the symbol in the first place then it's dead in the water... unless each mobile/web Twitter app provides it as a button - Glenn Batuyong from twhirl
Yeah, can't see it and I'm sure many of us don't have a choice in the browser we use sometimes. - Eric @ CS Techcast
Unicode support sucks in XP. It works fine in Vista (from what I gather) and Windows 7. Doesn't work on iPhone or SMS so that's two more setbacks. It ain't gonna happen, although I love the idea. The symbol really catches the eye and distinguishes the tweet as a retweet. - Bwana ☠

the lack of sufficient commuter rail and light rail is an enormous macroeconomic problem that the country is struggling with right now, and has been struggling with for years. The lost work hours and wasted capital endured in at least 10-15 large American cities would, if captured, likely represent a non-trivial shift in the nation’s GDP. - http://gregor.us/policy...

@Scobleizer Do you like whatever Palm you saw at #ces09 more than the n95? Either way, there's one major drawback: PalmOS. Nova or not, I haven't seen anything ever from Palm to make me want to even try to get excited. - Matt Albiniak
Betamax=Palm. Will they have the library of Apps to make it sell? - Andrew Leyden
For a long time, Palm's weakest spot has been their support. It sucks. Until they improve their customer relations philosophy and stop outsourcing support, I doubt anything is going to change for Palm. - andrei_c

I love these Day 1 predictions. They are almost always wrong :) - Bwana ☠
So .. when does pricing come out for this baby? - Tyler (Chacha)
The thing that's killing me here is Engadget says "The keyboard is Centro-esque, with shallow presses and cramped spacing." which is consistent with the photos. I'm a 755p owner and lifelong Palm users, but the Centro-sized keyboard is just utterly useless to me. Sigh. - Ken Sheppardson

Rajiv, thanks - Matthew DeVries
The Pre might be different, but Palm has historically rolled out devices on multiple carriers within 6mo or so after the initial rollout. For example, most recently the Centro was launched on Sprint in Oct 2007, then rolled out on AT&T in Feb 08 and Verizon in June 2008. - Ken Sheppardson
Ken, let's hope that's the extent of which history will repeat itself. I still have a bad taste in my mouth because of Palm - Bwana ☠

Unstable UX on Tungsten W and Treo 600 platforms. - Bwana ☠
Watched robert's movie, still don't get it, looks like the iphone with a keyboard, I have gotten pretty darn good with the iphone keyboard, not sure that tiny thing will help. The scroll not on the screen is kinda cool, but really not such a big deal to me. What else is so great? - James Ostheimer
Bwana: I've lived with a Pilot 1000, Pilot Pro, III, V, VII, m500, 650, and 755p, so I feel your pain RE instability (i.e. random lockups and resets). Good news is this really doesn't sound like just an incremental PalmOS upgrade, so it might be a fresh start/set of expectations. - Ken Sheppardson
James - it's not the formfactor, it's the software and usability. Did you see how the OS multi tasks? - Mona Nomura
While this may not be the fabled "iPhone Killer"---Judging from the info. @ Palm.com this looks like it will keep Palm in the game. - Rob Michael (Atmos Trio)
I just hope they didn't lay off too many of the minds who came up with the OS. Recall they had another round of layoffs in November (but who didn't). Granted, they did say it was primarily sales & marketing in the announcement, I'm still extremely skeptical. http://www.palminfocenter.com/news... - Bwana ☠
Bwana - they just got funding. BRB w/ the link. Back http://news.cnet.com/8301-10... - Mona Nomura
Looking forward to seeing if the browser on the Pre is more stable than the iPhone's. - Loren Heiny
Loren - since the whole OS is based on the browser I hope so! - invariant - farewell FF
Boggles the mind, the iPhone got *reamed* for only supporting Web apps. Palm does it and they're embraced. Am I missing something? - Bwana ☠
Bwana: Everyone hates a winner? :p - Chris, Taskerrific Guy
Progression, Bwana. Progression. :) - Mona Nomura
Bwana: revolutionary products change our expectations. - Robert Scoble
+1 Bwana - I was wondering the same thing earlier today. - ronin
I'm not convinced :) I'll have to wait until I can use one myself. - Bwana ☠
Bwana, the difference is that the Palm does not require you to be net connected to use the app. They just use "web technologies" for their API. I still think it's the biggest flaw in the system. They'll never get the games ecosystem that iPhone has without native apps, that's for sure. - invariant - farewell FF
So the multi-tasking is multiple browser windows/tabs? Are you kidding? - Bwana ☠
@invariant it depends on what the API actually gives you the ability to do, let's wait and see, I'll agree with you that it's unlikely given what they have announced that you'll be able to build super rich apps, but who knows what the API allows - Justin Yost
i go by new york's subway. noone has a palm any longer for months ; - ewing2001akaNicomedy2010
Bwana: Yes, and no. Justin: Some incredible things have been done in Javascript so I won't count it out completely, but you're seeing great games on iPhone because companies and individuals can leverage the wealth of game code and experienced engineers using C/C++. - invariant - farewell FF
Palm Pre, better or not... It's more a question of giving iPhone some substantial competition in the social/mobile space. - Brad Kligerman
innovation promotes innovation. this is all great for consumers. - Davide D'Incau
Will you stand in line 24 hours to get it? - Oudi Antebi
The iPhone was presented with an emphasis on not allowing general multitasking (like WinMo) because of battery life issue. Apple design decision (it *is* a unix derived os after all), not Palm innovation. Besides, what I see from comments here it may not be native app multitasking? Then it looks like the "multitasking allowing part of the API" is just like the first iPhone SDK which was also just based on web technologies. - Thomas Bøhm
Thomas, the key difference you're missing is that applications on the first generation iPhone could only run inside the browser, and were entirely server-based. Basically, the first iPhone "API" was nothing of the sort - it was simply a set of guidelines for developing optimal web apps. - Ian Betteridge
I love all these iPhone fans who simply cannot believe anyone might make a phone which is better than theirs. Particularly those who don't understand that using Javascript and HTML as the core of your developer environment does not mean you're "just building web apps which run in a browser." - Ian Betteridge
Perhaps we should wait until these are available for sale, maybe use one for a while, then form an opinion? - Sam from twhirl
Oh Sam, that would be far too rational ;) - Ian Betteridge
I don't see any GPS and A-GPS in it ? - Olivier Castets
Just checked the palm site about Pre. There is GPS in it. - Olivier Castets
Ian: Oh well, aside from your belittling comment to me, I think the only later publicized iphone feature (not publ b/c of user/media push for native sdk?) which allow web apps to start up in only the webkit engine (own process without safari gui) and the later possibility to add web apps to home screen just like other apps, is a very similar idea. Whether it was an SDK or a mobile webkit feature is debateable of course, but later native sdk added local containers too. - Thomas Bøhm
If this is Roberts reactions, apple execs must be having kittens. - Roberto Bonini
@Ian you are not Of The Body. Landru Jobs will deal with you ;) - John Craft
A blog post is coming for me that is to the effect of: "Palm, why did you go and announce the Pre right after I bought the iPhone? Why, Santa Claus, Why?" I am a longstanding Palm fan. - Martha
yea i want it too. but IMO iPhone still got the look - snydez
Technologywise palm doesn't have much new, but implementation is everything, so it will be interesting to see full-on-reviews. They *may* have something interesting for me at least, since I wish Apple had followed the "webOS" idea through too. Maybe with a Ruby, or at least Javascript, compatible API on board as well. (Which is available from third-party container generators, only not from Apple themselves). The "gemstone" keyboard on the other hand, I don't know. - Thomas Bøhm
It seems wonderful, shiny and new. But signs are that it'll be more expensive than iPhone, perhaps significantly so, and tied to a horrible network I will never, ever, ever, ever use. - Fred Ochsenhirt
I badly want a N97 :D - PaperDoll
I wouldn't say it's nicer, but the UI definitely has some innovation, and attention to detail... the rounded corners and gesturing are nicely done - probably the first communications device since the iPhone 3G to garner any unique praise - Nathan Chase
What'd they put in the Palm koolaid to make Scoble say that?! iPhone not as cool now? heresy! - Susan Beebe
It sounds great, the Pre has got some awesome press already. Palm OS has been falling way behind when it comes to their products, but this looks like it may catapult them back into the running against RIM and Apple. - Aram Zucker-Scharff
Hmm, I can't decide, although the N97 looks great tech-wise. I'll look forward to seeing both hit the shores of the UK soon, though. - Tyson Key
palm stock up 39% - mal
Like I said last night, I think Palm jumped into this game way too late. And I say this despite being a Palm loyalist since 1999. I still have a Treo, but my next phone will likely NOT be Palm. - Tamar Weinberg

Palm Pre will be available from Sprint. first half of 2009 availability #ces09
Sprint? Worst service EVER! - Zach Holmquist
It was going so well, until they announced Sprint exclusive. =/ - RAD Moose
it had to be somebody, and Verizon/ATT were taken. Unless you wanted tmobile's spotty 3g - Joshua Shapiro
sound quality has been issue in past with palm - imran
What is up with these exclusive carrier business. Don't companies realize that sales would be much higher if they allowed the product onto any carrier that can support the hardware? - Wizetux
ANy prices? - Keith
Wizetux, then they wouldn't be subsidized or have support from wireless carriers - James
James, I highly doubt that. LG has phones that are getting subsidized and they are supported on several carriers. Carriers are going to want to offer the phones that customers want because they don't make money on the phones, but the plans themselves. The phones just bring in the customers. - Wizetux
What's the difference between the "Nova" and "Pre"? - Tyson Key
Wizetux, true, hadn't thought of that. There must be some barrier from shopping it to multiple carriers, I bet carriers are willing to pay more for exclusivity - James
James, what it probably is is the fact that Palm went to the carriers and asked them who would want to front the funding for the research and design for the exclusive rights to the phone. Otherwise, Palm may not of had the capital to build the device. - Wizetux
Wizetux - Because somehow Sprint had a pile of cash lying around? - Brian Roy
@ Tyson - Nova is the new Palm operating system, Pre is the new Palm phone. - exactabob
Brain: Well, perhaps. Have you looked at the prices of their plans? They are worse than the cable TV companies. At least they can't lock you in for two years. - Wizetux
Have you looked at their earnings reports? - Brian Roy
Brian: and right there you may have answered the ultimate question as to why they might have fronted the money for the phone. To up their sales... - Wizetux
If as Scoble say "[The Palm phone] is better than the iPhone" it would surely increase the number of people who would want to use it and thus use Sprint service. - Wizetux
@exactabob Thanks for clearing that up. - Tyson Key
Yup, free advertising, help with R&D costs. Plus Palm and Sprint have always been partners - James
