lol. iphones are garbage, ill stick to my hacked pre. at least my carrier and phone models maker wont launch a product with promises it cant keep, aka iphone with the mms still waiting to be launched. but hey, if your one of those bandwagon nerds whos only means of being “cool” is by purchasing an apple product and become one of the many other followers of trash, hey, so be it. and at least my hacked pre runs off a unix os which i can fully customize to how i want it, unlike a iphone, which essentially is garbage to begin with. but i do have to say one thing palm did drop the ball on…. APPS. wtf?!! im stuck with 200 homebrew apps that are pretty good, but dev. apps straight through palm would be even better. other than that, id rather own a pre any day over a iphone, id rather sleep better at night knowing im not following a trend rather than my own personal taste.

My mom just bought me an iPhone in Las Vegas and I asked for the 3g. Since she's not very good with English,I'm kinda worried if she might've gotten me the old version. Do they still sell the old versions at AT&T stores?

Also,what is the 450 minutes-plan like? And does the Internet automatically work anywhere?

Oh yeah and if you guys understood that the OS in webOS stands for open source you would realize that these phones are soon going to be completely your own and not like that assimilating drone phone over at apple. That means that sooner or later it would have connected to Itunes anyway. Why don’t you guys go back to law school and understand case law and maybe you will grasp why linux has never been sued.

Why would you idiots even care how the Pre links to iTunes? Seriously? Are you losing out in some way? Is your precious iPhone going to spontaneously combust because a "non-apple" device is able to link with apple software?

This is a stupid topic. Everything should be able to link with iTunes just like everything can link with WMP. I really don't know why so many people are getting bent out of shape about this...

See, if Apple wasn’t so monopolistic with its iPod franchise, Palm wouldn’t have to resort to doing something like this (which isn’t even all that bad). Apple is doing now with its iPods what Microsoft did with IE back in the day…

OK. I’ll hold my hands up and say I don’t know enough about the deep down details to argue the point about boot camp. However, building a device with software that allows it to connect interact with another 3rd party software application doesn’t seem to me to be illegal, immoral or even sneaky.

No, Boot Camp is not a good comparison.

But Samba, which reimplements Microsoft's SMB/CIFS protocol, allowing Mac (really, any UNIX) clients and servers to appear as if they were windows resources, is.

Since Apple has relied on samba to allow Macs on Windows networks in every incarnation of OSX, it would be a bit hypocritical of them to claim such tactics are shady.
