Back then, handheld personal computing was all Palm...and a little bit of Sony (the Sony Clie). I think Palm should look back, and ask themselves why they were essentially the only ones in the market.

I lovemy HTC Eris. Completely ignored the Palm spot over at the local Verizon store. I was thinking about the actual Motorola DROID, but decided against it, due to the slider... not a fan of actual keyboards. But, my first taste of Android, so far, makes me really happy I ditched the iPhone, and AT&T. Much happier now!

And how is it more of a smartphone for beginners?? I have both a touch pro and a palm pre but I use the pre because it is much more powerful and stable than win 6.1/6.5 ever thought of being. Besides, the pre is a much better phone than anything I have ever used by HTC. I'm not saying that android OS isn't better than WebOS, I just prefer Web OS to android.

I was actually thinking about getting a Palm Pre when it came out on Verizon's network, but ultimately chose a Droid Eris for the superiority of the Android OS, and when I realized that I should get a phone with no moving parts...

As far as the Pre versus the Motorola Droid, though, the Pre is more of a smartphone for beginners...
