Palm Pre: Doubters, Haters & Dreamers
Mobility Site — ... There are no lack of Haters about right now, mainly on iPhone fansites or forums that cater to Apple fans.

That integrated hardware-software punch isn't really being replicated anywhere else apart from RIM's Blackberry and Palm's new webOS Pre . The Blackberry maker has found that it's far harder to deliver a touch screen phone and ...

And finally, in regard to McNamee's claim that Palm’s new webOS would give it an edge over competitors that “are going to run out of gas way before” Palm, his legal team stated "estimations of the relative ...

Dell's iPhone Killer rejected by carriers as too dull
AppleInsider — ... said “PC guys are not going to just figure this out. They’re not going to just walk in." He was specifically referring to Apple, which did "just walk in" with the iPhone launch, but carried with it a half decade of experience with the iPod and decades of experience in maintaing successful software platforms building highly customized hardware.
