Well it seems to be going pretty well Dave, the reviews are generally ok-good so I think this will be a good thing in terms of competition to the iPhone, and I'm much more about effectiveness than buying premium for brand waste.

In wake of loss, Palm looks to Pre as savior | Wireless - CNET News

What's worrisome isn't the record losses Palm is reporting, but that they refused to say how many Pres were sold. If it was any kind of even mildly optimistic number, they'd be trumpeting it right now. The only thing keeping Palm alive is investor cash and the possibility of Microsoft/RIM/Nokia/Dell/fill-in-the blank buying them for WebOS. I don't see how they can survive long term without being bought.
