Palm's Got It

I plan to publish a piece on the Palm Pre soon, but for now, my title will suffice. Assuming the device lives up to the hype around it today — and early tests from Engadget give me hope — I think somebody actually figured out how to make a true iPhone competitor (something that has been sorely lacking). And, I couldn't be happier that this somebody is Palm.

It'll be exciting to see how Palm webOS shapes up. Of course, I sort of wish they'd kept the old Palm OS name. Maybe they should have called it Palm OS X.
