Palm Pre On GEEKS?

Blaqdymun · #1 (**permalink**) 06-01-2009, 06:07 PM

I was just wondering if the Palm Pre will be welcomed on PPCGeeks seeing how it's not a PPC, but it is one of the most interesting phones to be released since the iphone (so I was told). I don't have an iphone so please don't start ripping me apart!

I'm just interested in knowing whether the phone will have a place on this great site because I will be a Palm Pre owner on day ONE!

i would like this too but i believe that NO is the answer they will give ya, they focus on windows mobile devices only

otherwise the G1, BB Storm, or even the iPhone would be added here already

Well since PPCGeeks supports Windows Mobile devices (and the Pre has a totally new OS), then it's unlikely that there will be direct support.

But don't let that stop you from posting about it here in the Off Topic Forum.

late,

Is it possible to create a sister site called pregeeks.com?

He bought the domain as soon as the Pre was announced.

I've been looking at treocentral's sister site http://www.precentral.net/. Membership in the former give you access to the later.

Yeah, I post over at PreCentral rather regularly. Its a good forum, but I'm not sure I'd rate it in the same kind of league as a PPCGeeks, though really I should hold judgement till the phone actually comes out.

Its a great fan forum. However, I'm anxious to see a forum where development of software, tweaks for the phone, etc are talked about once it gets out in an in depth fashion like it seems to be here and at XDA (though it depends how open WebOS is to start with and as time goes on).

That said...

I think it would be neat with there being a number of other big OS's out now to see a PPC subforum perhaps for the Pre/WebOS, Android, and grudgingly iPhone perhaps. But wouldn't be a huge deal. PPCGeeks should always stay primarily a WinMo type site.

fyi, I just posted a review of the Pre in this section of the forum.
