LOL That's my Google Groups post. We were working on it a long time ago and I gave up when I got my Palm Pre.

Going to try and get this going on my old Centro now. :)

For everyone posting that the Pixi won't sell because of the form factor being too small, remember that the same thing was said about the Centro when it was released and it ended up selling millions.

I have a Pre now and previously had a Centro. My wife still has a Centro and will be upgrading to the Pixi when it comes out. She has no problems with the Centro's keyboard and would rather have the compact size rather than a more spaced out keyboard.

I believe you mean the 3rd gen.

In before the NASCAR bashing begins. Before you haters start your rant it is a lot harder to drive a heavy NASCAR with small tires compared to these USF1 cars. And before you give the only turning left excuse, they DO race on road courses in NASCAR, you haters just don't like to mention that.

Palm had to prove they were worthy with Sprint. Now that webOS has the respect you will see it hit GSM in early 2010. They want their phones on as many carriers as they can get.

This was already posted by an informed reader, but I will add my 2 cents. If NASCAR went back to completely stock cars the races would be as boring as F1 races. One make/model dominating all the time.

I grew up with NASCAR in my house and I remember the days when Chevy and Ford went back and forth changing the aerodynamics of their cars. It was out of control. When the Monte Carlo was first introduced Chevy completely dominated because of their superior aerodynamics. That season was the most boring season ever.

It's not a black and white issue kids. It's about making things competitive so the fans get a good show. NASCAR caters to the fans first.

The Volt is supposed to have a 10 gallon tank with a rating of 50mpg when in extended range mode. So 500 miles per tank minus the 40 all electric miles.

The UI looks boring to me. If it came out 3 years ago it would be great.

Ubuntu isn't backed by Google the same way Chrome is. How many Linux based Mobile Phone OS's have been tried and failed, but Android worked. Why? Because it is backed by a company people know and use their products everyday.

I have nothing against Ubuntu, but Ubuntu is still a desktop OS meant for desktop use. I don't care if it can run on ARM. Can it run on ARM and give you the battery life of a smartphone? Does the OS push cloud storage and instant on/off without "hibernation mode?

Just because Ubuntu can run on an ARM CPU doesn't mean it automatically gets better battery life. The OS has EVERYTHING to do with it, and with Chrome OS being so streamlined I can only guess the battery life numbers will be closer to smartphones than netbooks running Ubuntu on an ARM system.

This is a product that that doesn't even exist yet, and people are already dismissing it because they have preconceived notions. Chrome OS will have a place in the world, people just aren't seeing down the road enough to see the potential. (This is called vision, something you gain once you have been in the industry more than 15 years.)

Battery life and instant on usuability is not a strength of a desktop OS. I have a strong feeling Chrome OS is using the basic underpinnings of Android, which from the beginning was designed for mobile use from the start. Battery life being on the top of their list when creating the mobile OS.

So by your logic, a Windows and other desktop OS's will last just as long and have just the same usability as a chrome OS netbook? Chrome OS running on ARM CPU's will kick the crap out of any x86 windows netbook in terms of battery life.

Again this comes back around to what this OS will be used for. People don't get it, as you don't get it. Please refrain from posting stupid comments like "you're completely ignorant and you're painting a picture that is not the case."

What is not the case? You think a Windows Netbook can hold a candle to mobile usability from a lightweight extremely power efficient OS? What I don't think you under stand, people don't want to use windows everywhere. They only use windows because they feel they HAVE to. There are no other options worth a damn at the momemnt.
