        <description><![CDATA[Sad to say, that's how the iPhone works too. You can't even *test* your app on an actual iPhone without paying to become a developer! Unless you use a &quot;jailbroken&quot; iPhone to test. This is one major reason why I am baffled that Windows Mobile is not more popular... you do not need to pay a cent to anyone to write or distribute apps for it.J.Ja]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[So Palm (in their finite wisdom) is willing to let us pay them so we can develop apps so they can charge others to download the apps?Does that quality as a Ponzi scheme or a Pyramid scheme?Are they hooking up with Amway too?]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Actually, I don't have an iPhone... I don't think it's a particularly compelling choice, and AT&amp;T is a lousy carrier. Frankly, I don't have any &quot;skin in the game&quot;, I have a very basic model phone. I've heard a lot of really good things about the Palm Pre, don't get me wrong. My statement is based on Palm's numbers. The Pre's sales are not meeting expectations, and they are already looking at scaling back the production on them. In other words, the Pre was supposed to be Palm's first shot across the bow in their battle to comeback, but it looks like it might be their death rattle.It's unfortunate, because everything I've seen/read about the Pre makes me like it a lot more than the iPhone. Frankly, if I were to own a smartphone (I work from home, so I really don't need portable computing so much), I'd want to own a Windows Mobile device, *only* because I'd be able to program it to work the way I think a phone should work.J.Ja]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[I know the App store is by far Apple's &quot;killer app&quot; (so to speak) but having to jail break my phone to get apps Apple has decreed &quot;bad&quot; isn't exactly cool.On the other hand, the chick from the commercials scares the hell out of me. ]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Palm's quickly approaching &quot;has been&quot; status. The Pre's sales are already disappointing, despite overall favorable reviews. As a developer, I'd have to wonder what kind of rat flocks to a sinking ship?J.Ja]]></description>
