A Zen gay Texan’s perspective

I’ve been loving my Palm Pre since I got it. The webOS is very slick. A few bells & whistles missing that will hopefully come soon. The app store is woefully lacking compared to others (i.e. iPhone). Palm says they’re taking their time to do it right…well they better hurry up or they’ll have a missed opportunity. People love the phone but without a variety of software it won’t stay a huge hit. More phones sold mean more software being built, meaning more phones sold. It’s a chicken and the egg problem right now, I understand. But it’s not like there isn’t interest, they just seem to be slow approving apps. The good thing is they’re not like Apple and are anti-’unlocking’ your phone.  PreCentral.net has a great setup to unlock it in ‘dev’ mode and start installing apps from their store (that has 3 times as many apps and is growing daily!). The process went smoothly for me. I highly recommend doing so if you’ve got a Pre.
