Tomorrow’s announcements by Apple will only be a direct and devastating assault on Palm if the iphone demonstrates its ability to reinvent the game a third time instead of making marginal improvements to an OS that WebOS has just leapfrogged. Otherwise it’ll be a stunning indictment that the rules of the game are changing yet again, and not in Apple’s favor this time. Many of you are speculating on the Palm Pre based on what you’ve read. When you’ve had a chance to see a group of dedicated iphone users experience the Pre and then talk about how it blows doors on the current iphone, after using both in their hands, that’s another story than reading about it on a blog. I welcome the Apple announcement tomorrow because in a lot of ways, unless it is revolutionary, more people will now be asking, is that truly your best Apple?

iPhone video won’t do anything to hurt the Pre, but an iPhone WITH a physical keyboard would. I don’t expect that to happen next week.

If you consider an iphone with a faster cpu, better camera, videoconferencing, more memory, and more flash ram a disappointing upgrade, go buy a Pre.

Palm will need at least 3 – 6 months debugging webOS, optimizing it, and releasing a native SDK.

By version 2, Pre should be a really compelling upgrade – if Palm is still in business.

Why would it be “devastating” to Palm if Apple releases on Monday. Unless they’ve magically created a CDMA version…??

Since Pre’s are only available on Sprint to the existing 79 Sprint customers and the 14 who might join, what does the iPhone have to do with any of that? The only thing that’s killing Palm is Palm. They chose an exclusivity deal with a carrier that lost like four million customers last year.

Oh and the unconfirmed Hype about the iPhone refresh is just that. The”upgrade” will be minimal and disappointing just like last time.

I dont think its that severe. I dropped blackberry in favor of my iPhone and never looked back!

So if you are Mr. Blackberry and have convinced all your friends to get one; what would happen if I bail out_jum ship and go Apple’s way? Is it like a Yankee fan going over to the Red Sox? Damn iPhone, why you always gotta look so tantalizing.

yes the iphone is kind of boring but coming from a slow blackberry 8310 my iphone runs circles around it, at least with the iphone you dont get the hourglass of death and have to pull the battery, when iphone os 3.0 comes out ill be happier with the fact i can MMS copy and paste thats all i really care about to be honest. im no apple fanatic i think there laptops and desktops are way to overpriced, so my iphone is a far into apples domain i will tread, im Unimatrix and im a PC lol, Visa sucks bad, but windows 7 is by far a much better OS than vista. windows ME and Visa where epic fails.

Robert. Just love this ‘compitation’. Me too!

iPhone is just the best. Apple leads – the rest – follow – at a distance.

@jack tee, you do realise that when the new iPhone OS comes out that it will have video, MMS, and copy/paste among many other things right? Not to mention the Pre doesn’t support flash either.

Man, can’t wait for Monday that would be really cool if they release the new iphone on Monday. from the pictures I don’t see any chrome trim around the screen I like the matte black finish on the back but the chrome ring around the screen gives it an elegant quality look. plastic around the screen is not so nice. I just hope they improved the CPU/ram and the camera I don’t know why they are going to release the 4gb? I mean they could have the 8GB as low end since its capable of the video now you need at least 8gb even if you don’t use it as music player I hope they drop the prices a bit like this maybe?

4gb = $99
8GB = $150
16gb = $220
32gb = $300

Jacktee-
Masturbation accusations are considered nuclear bombs in forum post flame wars. You can’t go back. Personally, I think you still had some mileage left in the areas of him having promiscuious sisters, a homosexual father, accusations of intercourse with farm or other domesticated animals, or just plain declarations of sexual bravado concerning you and his mother.

Just my 2 cents- entertaining volley though. Good show.

Given the whole FCC testing procedure that they have to go through, how would Apple even pull this off? Seems like they have wanted to do this before and simply couldn’t because of the red tape required.

The new iPhone launches every June, if anyone is trying to jump on someone else’s launch date it’s Palm not Apple. Probably not the best planning on Palm’s part. I’m a happy Storm user so it’s not that I’m defending Apple. This just seems obvious to me.

Pre may compete with iphone for a few months. The Pre release date was the kiss of death.

I thought about jumping on the iphone bandwagon but then I realized I actually have to work for a living. A business guy I am and my new phone needs to be for business as well.

Tour or Pre for me.

Well, with regards to battery life, the good thing is that even if the Pre’s battery life isn’t as good as I would like, I can still carry a spare and swap when necessary
