Hi Terence,

Macworld lived up to its name…macs, macs, macs.

The Palm Pre would have been a killer up to a year ago. I think it might just be too late, its a great rival for iPhone 1.0 but too far behind 2.0 (app stores, worldwide 3G, iFund etc). However the Palm customers are very loyal (like Apple customers) so I think Palm will survive for a little longer. You might get your netbook if Palm marry this OS with their Foleo netbook from last year, that would be a neat device.

BTW the 13″ macbook I have is as close to computing perfection as I have found. I did not upgrade a single thing on it and I’ve even abandoned using the mouse. I also do really miss a large screen due to all the decent window management tools – expose etc.

Well, I am devastated that there was neither an iPhone nor an OSX netbook… but what do you think of the new Palm Pre?

In my opinion, it’s a nice looking device, and the specs are at least on par with modern offerings from other manufacturers (which in itself is a big step forward for Palm), but I get the feeling that it’s a case of “too little too late” from Palm which is a darned shame.

For one thing, have any details been released about how to write or get new apps for it? The PalmOS 4 platform had oodles and oodles of apps as one of its strengths. Is the world ready for yet another mobile development platform?

So what do you think – does Palm have a chance of getting back to its glory days with this device and OS?

An iPhoneOS based netbook is unlikely but that doesn’t mean there won’t be an OSX based netbook!

Astute comments about the screen size of the much-rumoured iPhone Nano, and an equally compelling argument against an iPhone-based netbook, however I hope you’re wrong as this would be the successor to the Newton I’ve been waiting for!

These predictions make a lot of sense. I’m curious if the App Store will start accepting desktop apps as well.
