The fact that it's highly over rated doesn't change the fact that everyone and their mom needs to have the newest thing that Jobs has crapped on (and I'm no exception, I'm currently typing on my Macbook Pro and listening to my iPod Classic).
I have very little hope that Palm, of all companies, will be the one to blow a hole in Apple. Its track record is way to poor, especially in recent years, to imply even a possible chink in the white plastic juggernaut.
I'm not saying I hope the Pre to fail or Apple to completely decimate Palm, but given the way apple can sell tin-foil wrapped crap and Palm screws up almost anything they touch...I guess I'm just not too hopeful.
Time will tell.

That means all sorts of things might pop up, such as a third party audio player (foobar-like features anybody?) |
