      Not to be pedantic but Palm Pre didn’t have anything to do with Palm Pilot, totally different OS. What’s crazy is they were setting up payments via Palm Pilot long before gadgets like the Handspring VisorPhone were available. That meant the only way to complete the payment was to sync the Palm Pilot to your PC back at your desk. Makes sense why they would pivot to pay by email and eliminate the need to use a Palm Pilot.

        I never said it did. I was just stating my love for a phone that was underrated and had a short, yet bright, lifespan.

          WebOS lives on, in my TV!

          I remember the hardware fire sales as HP told us to look at the flowers.
