Incremental upgrade to the iPhone. This is supposed to kill the Pre and webOS?

What functionality do they have, their main selling point has been multitasking, and it seems no one gives a damn about that. 50 000 miserable phones, what a joke. Nobody wants to switch to Sprint for it. It can't even record video, at least the latest 200 16 gb iphone records video.
So now instead of simple but powerful multitasking where you can see what apps are running in one swipe, now we're memorizing musical notes?
A Christmas chime in g sharp for Pandora?
A DJ vinyl scratch for iDracula
Baby giggle and two frying pans smashed together for Fandango?
And yo see the icon badge you still have to go to the home screen and kill your current running app. Again, it's a silly solution.
Engadget says they sold more than that, closer to 100,000 than 50,000 and Apple sold 150000 in the same time. And that on limited units out there in the retail channel from Palm. Big whoop.
Fixed.
Actually you can have 12-15 open at the same time, you can't really use 12-15 at the same time on that small screen, that's why multitasking on a phone really is no big deal, now on my desk top with two 25 inch monitors multitasking is important.
of course you miss out a rather relevant point - the iPhone with its "silly solution" will actually make it through a day without a charge.
Unlike the Pre (according to numerous reviews) with its "simple but powerful multi tasking"
They said between 50 000 and 100 000, what a joke. The original iphone cost 600 bucks and moved way more units than this. Seems most people don't give a damn about multitasking, let's be fair and say they sold 75 000, still a bloody joke. So much for multitasking.
Engadget and Gizmodo have both said that the Pre has battery life comparable to the iPhone in their reviews. The idea that multitasking will make the Pre lose a charge in 2 hours is Apple fanboy drivel.
Again I ask:
You guys want Apple to go up against this simple yet elagent and powerful multitasking feature with network dependent push notifications and music chimes?
Now stop picking on the Palm boy, he has to justify his poor purchase somehow, after all how can 50 000 people be wrong?
Answer when 40 000 000 say so.

Uuh, engadget didn't say it was closer to 100k.
You know it's failure when you have to lie to make an argument.

Like I said how's it better everyone keeps saying it's comparable to the iPhone.
Now take you hairy Palm back to the Palm Pre forum.
How many did they sell of the in their opening days?
Why did they mask the screen with those rounded corners?
They won't be at 40 000 000 in two years, they will be bankrupt or bought out by the end of this year with this fail.

Nope, we'll Jailbreak and install Backgrounder, which with the faster processor and more RAM will be great.
LOL, what should I get a new iphone at 99 with an installed base for iphone OS at over 40 million, with 50 000 apps or a Palm Pre at 199 with 18 apps, and 50 000 sold?
you've got to give the guy credit for pure nerve...
calling himself "Palm Pimp", then coming onto an Apple forum, saying how much "superior" the Pre is (while ignoring any arguments he doesn't like), and in the same breath calling iPhone users who disagree with him "fanboys"
Can anyone say "people in glass houses"?

Palm Stock got about $0.50 bump after opening day and now it's down a $1.00, that says all that needs to be said. (especially when your shares are only approx $12.00)
Who cares? Rounded corners, square corners, it's not that big a deal.
It would be like me arguing over copy and paste or the camera between these phones - just not worth it.
Forgetting the fact that you're idea of a solution is a third party hack, Backgrounded only works for ONE APP at a time. You hold down the Home button in the app and you go back the the home screen. You have to remember which app it is, since the app icon isn't tagged and even if it was you have to flick through pages to find it. Not to mention you can only findout if Backgrounder is enabled ot disabled by opening the app in the first place.
Backgrounder for multitasking is as useful as Quickgold was for searching through the iPhone, which is to say it was laughable.
It also does not equal the 200,000 the iPhone sold when it was first released.
Now, when will your ridiculous posts stop? When the mods take care of them, so you can cry "unfair bias" from this site?
Please, cut the childish crap. You're making those who can appreciate both phones look foolish.
