The Pre is emerging as a polarizing device, even more so than the G1 (which everyone agreed was kind of beta), probably because it’s the closest thing to a legitimate threat that the iPhone has faced. Who wouldn’t get defensive? With strong sales in its first two weeks and an entirely new OS for developers to do their thing with, it’s strong out of the gate but controlled — because the jockey is holding the reins tight. Palm didn’t expect a dynamite launch or a million app sales in a week; what they’ve got so far is, if we can believe what they say, pretty much what they’d hoped for.

iPhone 3.0 has landed, and the first apps with the new features are squirming their way through the App Store’s clenching gates of approval. How are they? Well, for starters, they all look awfully familiar.
No, no – that headline wasn’t intended as commentary on the hygiene of Android users (though if a good chunk of the Android devotees I know are any indication, it very well could be.
In a deal that is both amusing and awesome, it appears that you can score an iPhone 3GS for 35% off by using Microsoft’s Cashback Program through their Bing search engine.
