Re: Looks Like HP To The Rescue

the issue was palm didn't give sufficient hardware specs to compensate.
Huh? Its has essentially the same specs as the iPhone 3GS and the Moto Droid.. so I'm not too sure what you are talking about..

it's sorta like our android phones, with the stock rom it's slow. but load a custom rom and the thing flies. neither the pixi or the pre have the ability to have custom roms at all, that needs to change.
I disagree, if custom roms sold phones to the masses, then WinMo would not be in the position it is today. People like you and me that like to flash their phones are them minority not the majority.. There are also custom WebOS kernels and such which is pretty much what you are doing when you are flashing your android devices..

I've heard of many people leaving WebOS devices not because of the OS but because of the hardware. In my opinion WebOS is superior to any other mobile OS but Palm did not market it as well as other manufacturers.
I agree, I know people that are on their 3rd, 4th pre.. they had some major quality issues that were never widely published. They also didnt have a proper SDK released for far too long. It was markteted as a consumer device, and for the majority of people interested in such a device, lack of apps meant lack of interest, plain and simple.
