An invoice for $0.00

In under 2 hours I downloaded 62 apps, (all free) a number many times
greater than the total number of apps available for the Palm Pre. There
are 50,000 apps currently in Apple's app store. The Palm Pre wont
interact with Palm Desktop, where as the iPhone has totally variable
sync capabilities. Mine's set to handle 4 email addresses, 1300 Songs,
86 pictures, and a few movies and TV shows as my Nero 9 quickly and
easily (Nero Recode) converts Videos into MPG4 for watching on the
iPhone.

Meaningless boasting. All that matters (to me at least) are the few
great ones you need or want -- I personally couldn't care less about the
other 99%, many (most?) of which are dreck.
My phone does most of what I need right out of the box,
and the rest is a matter of only a half-dozen great J2ME apps.

>The Palm Pre wont

Even though it's brand new, Palm Pre already has Palm Synergy (Google,
Facebook, Exchange) and other sync options.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

The new platform introduces Palm Synergy, a key feature of webOS
that brings your information from all the places it resides into one
logical view. You don't have to worry about tracking multiple
calendars, contacts and messaging applications - Synergy brings it to
you for a more comprehensive and truly representative view of your
life.

* Linked contacts - With Synergy, you have a single view that links
your contacts from a variety of sources, so accessing them is easier
than ever. For example, if you have the same contact listed in your
Outlook, Google and Facebook accounts, Synergy recognizes that
they're the same person and links the information, presenting it to
you as one listing. And if you update a contact on your webOS device,
it also will be updated in your various accounts, whether on a
personal computer or on the web.

* Layered calendars - Your calendars can be seen on their own or
layered together in a single view, combining work, family, friends,
sports teams, or other interests. You can toggle to look at one
calendar at a time, or see them all at a glance.

* Combined messaging - Synergy lets you see all your conversations
with the same person in a chat-style view, even if it started in IM
and you want to reply with text messaging. You can also see who's
active in a buddy list right from contacts, and start a new
conversation with just one touch.

Schweet! So you got the flashlight(s) and jiggly boobs apps, and the
Hot Babes slideshow app with the streaming pr0n update, right?

other people have different needs and one person's drek is another
person's gem.

Probably at least 80% dreck by any standard.

so what? its not like 80% of windows or mac apps aren't drek either,
maybe even higher and 20% non-drek is still 11,000 apps, some of which
are unavailable on any other platform.

Most of the Windows and Mac dreck has been relegated to direct,
shareware or the dustbin by now. Check the number of software SKUs
carried by major retailers.

>maybe even higher and 20% non-drek is still 11,000 apps, some of which

I didn't say all the rest were not dreck. I said "AT LEAST 80%" were
dreck. [emphasis added] Read more carefully, and stop twisting what
I say.

plenty of what's available at major retailers is also drek and plenty
that's available via shareware is not. different apps for different
needs.

it doesn't matter what the percentage is. if people find useful apps,
that's all that matters. whether you think those apps are drek is
completely irrelevant.

And 62 more downloadable apps than the iPhone had available its entire first
year on the market. How quickly we've forgotten that at one time "webapps
are all we'll need."

Syncing PIM data via iTunes, in a word, sucks. I've set up my wife's iPhone
to use Google's Mobile Sync so it syncs automatically over the air. Syncing
via cable is so 1999.

I've never tried Nero Recode- how is it? Following a suggestion in the
iPhone NG, I tried Handbrake to convert to iPhone format. It does a
phenominal quality job converting to .mp4 or .m4v and is lightning quick
compared to most reencoders I've tried.

Not stellar, but pretty good, close to QuickTime Pro, which for only $30
is a good investment.

Free FFmpeg with the WinFF GUI <http://winff.org> does the best
conversions I know of. If you ever decide to give it a serious try, let
me know -- I've written some special profiles for mobiles.

lame as web apps may be, it was an interim solution. the sdk was
planned all along and it shows. plus, web apps are actually useful for
some things.

Thanks for the offer, but I'm a creature of habit. I've settled into using
Handbreak for iPhone/.mp4, TMPGenc for Zune/WinMo/.wmv (very easy and robust
clip, crop, audio volume, etc., editing features) and occasionally fire up
SUPER for anything "weird"- like Nintendo DS video. SUPER can do it all
itself, but it actually beat iTunes for my personal choice of most
counter-intuitive UI I've ever encountered. Solving a Rubik's Cube
blindfolded would be a less frustrating task than setting up SUPER properly
without forgetting to correct one of it's myriad of ridiculously pre-chosen
presets. (10 fps video? Who would choose that as a preset value in this
day and age? But my daughter will be watching High School Musical 2 in
jerkyvision on her NDS this weekend because I was in a hurry and didn't
create a new profile before ripping it last night for her scout camping trip
today!)

Agreed. While I love a good Apple bash as much as anyone, , I'm surprised
the very same tech press that bashed "webapps" when Apple announced it, is
praising Palm for developing an entire "revolutionary" OS around the
concept! Fair is fair-either webapps were "good enough" then, or not good
enough now. You can't have it both ways, unless the tech press is so
desperate for the "next" iPhone they'll heap praise on anything new to
create a buzz, (which seems more likely, since no one remembers the eternal
string of "iPhone killers" the press extolled the virtues of: the Instincts,
Voyagers, etc. are already wireless "footnotes."
