Unless the Pre has really horrible email support for the enterprise, the PRE is an awesome device. The hardware may not be amazing, but the WebOS is really where the key features lye. The ability for simple things like being able to buy movie tickets online and automatically have the phone then "book" that time within your calendar is amazing. This is the kind of outside thinking that RIM should be doing. Right now, NOBODY in the mobile world can do what the WebOS from Palm can do... not without "specific" programming for intent purposes. By this I mean, the amount of intermeshing info that the WebOS does in unmatched by anything out there. If the PRE comes out for Verizon, it will be something I WILL be looking at closely. We will see how it goes once Sprint releases it and consumers start using it, but I can tell you this.... RIM's 5.0 OS is nothing more then "minor BS upgrades". I'm sorry, but there's nothing revolutionary there. RIM's only surviving feature has always only been Push Email. It's time for them to reinvent the wheel, if they fail to do that, they only risk going under. People use their handsets because nothing better is currently out, but year after year, better advancements are made in the mobile market. The key is to make an advancement so vast that the consumer has a very hard time finding anything negative about it. In other words, make a device that can do EVERYTHING. Don't hold anything back in hopes of getting people to keep coming back to you. Give them everything they want and then some.... this is where the Palm PRE seems to be positioned. If all is true about what the new WebOS can do, you're going to see come amazing capabilities from that device. I personally look forward to it.
