Sprint Pushes webOS 1.4 to Pre and Pixi
Palm is going down...

I carry a Palm Pre, HTC Hero and BB Storm, the Pre is by far the easiest and most untuitive of the three phones I own. If Palm tanks it will be a shame, the Pre is a great phone. Sprint, however, is doing quite well.

Well I admit I'm a fan of Android lol. No denying that but you simply can't ignore the truth. No one cares about Palm. Palm was too little too late. Yes it's my opinion but the Pre is ugly, has a small keyboard that should have been landscape, it feels like cheap plastic and while webOS is innovative in it's own right, it has no freakin apps! Theres no momentum for it.
1) By comparison to the iPhone OS, both platforms have "no freakin' apps"
2) The Android app catalog has ~ 10k apps, but not all 10k of them run on all Android devices.
3) Filtering through the junk software in Android Marketplace, they're about even.
4) In terms of app quality, WebOS is the only OS to really approach the iPhone.
Beyond the Motorola Droid, to which Verizon Wireless (the nation's largest carrier) spent approximately 1/4th of the total device cost marketing, the Palm Pre has outsold and continues to outsell every other Android device by a healthy margin, especially the Nexus One.

You didn't have to post that link honestly because no one in their right mind would actually believe that webOS has more market share than Android. That's just would be ludicrous.
Facts are facts. You can't argue them.
Or what about the alternative set up to QWERTY keyboards? or why Windows (the god-awful code blob that it is) overtook Apple IBM and others as the home computing powerhouse?
Android WILL NOT WIN because of one Flagship device. I highly doubt there will ever be an Android phone that sells as well as the Iphone did. But that's not the point. Android isn't an OS locked to 1-2 devices. So while something like the Droid might not ever sell as many units as the Iphone does in a quarter,the Droid+N1+Moment+Eris+Hero+etc. will eventually reach that number and pass it. Google (or Bing) it.
Your comscore numbers show that Palms Marketshare SHRUNK while Android's Grew. Yes, palm is still larger, but as oth...

Dear Abby,
You give horrible advice and I hate your picture. I gave it all up for a girl.

I want WebOS to do well, it has some amazing ideas and that competition makes everyone stronger.
Beyond the initial marketing push and hype, there isn't any substance to back it up- you've got the ability to tinker with the OS, but Google, Motorola, and HTC won't give you the time of day if you brick it or something goes wrong. Awesome. (Ask Menno if he thinks his phone is still under warranty! 🙂 )
Google originally stated its mission was to let the hardware guys go out and go take the OS in exciting new directions, but then soon discovered that doesn't work too well, because they're hardware guys- Motorola's with Android because their own OS efforts were fai...
