    1. CO@goofy166, 1) I would expect sales to be low, given the iPhone halo effect 2) there is a store getting off the ground now, 3) you can replace the battery with *larger* batteries; see http://www.seidioonline.com/product-p/basi13pmx3.htm for a small example, although there are huge batteries you can get as well. re: MS buying Palm, they would only do it to kill whatever tech is there, given that MS has a huge vested interest in pushing Windows Mobile.

    2. COI'm not sure that Android is as "open" as you might describe. And why do I have to code everything up as Java? Yeah, the Pre's sales have had their oxygen sucked out by the iPhone (and friends) but the last time people laughed about all of those "wacky website people" not getting anywhere was back in '97; and now the web is everywhere you *sneeze*. The Pre's saving strength is going to be the ease in which you can pump out apps, which are thinly disguised webpages. If anything is going to kill Palm, it will most likely be Palm itself (in the form of crappy marketing, etc.), not the Pre.

    3. COHaving tinkered with the *free* Pre SDK, I can tell you that you'll develop *many* times faster on it than on Android. Hint: if you can "code" a webpage, you can code a Pre app. Darthg8r may be picking the darkhorse in this race, but you should also never completely discount the underdog; sometimes, you get a surprise that no-one was expecting to see.
