This comment should do. Thanks for the Zune (in advance)!
Gimme dat controller. Please?
Please dispense said controller to me post-haste.
Irregardless is a nonstandard word, because it contains a double negation (prefixed ir- and suffixed -less). Also, it was an obvious troll by Leo and you guys fell hard for it.
I don't know. I never liked the iPhone keyboard, though WebOS could use some predictive text. I could type pretty fast, first time on a cell keyboard, the moment I picked the phone up. I think physical keyboard is faster, and makes the screen real estate more efficient. iPhone keyboard takes at least half the screen, so you can't use it and see things at the same time. This allows Palm to keep their phone relatively small, pocketable, one-handed is comfortable, etc. It's not an iPod, it's a portable phone, and I like it as such.

My only suggestion is to work on build quality issues, and get that SDK and apps coming. But the latter is only a matter of time.
My local blockbuster is actually running a special trial of new pricing on rentals. We got a new release blu-ray for $1 for one day. They're also charging much less (like $3) for PS3/360 games, and the late fee is just $1 per day. I don't know if they're going to spread this to other stores, but it would definitely make me more likely to rent from them if they do.
It won't sync with the desktop--it's all synchronized online. "No more palm desktop." is what I've read.
They've said that the old apps are not supported, but with the huge demand, they've said they're confident someone will make an emulator.

I assume that when they say it will "Launch in the US as a Sprint exclusive", they mean just that. At the moment of launch, it will be exclusive. Who knows whether they're working with other networks to release a couple of months later on.
Android's getting there. I will put up with my crappy old phone if it means shiny new Android phones in '09. Maybe a few upgrades to the OS are in order as well.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"With all the new multitouch capable monitors coming out, which one is the best? With the release of Windows 7 I really want a touchscreen monitor for my desktop. I'm looking to get a Full HD monitor that supports multitouch and can still look great during gaming and movies. Which one has the best specs for the price?"
