I said Oracle, but I mean't to say IBM

Lol u complaint about the pre screen size and u dont complain about.iphone 3.5 look small compare to competition

[DRBUK]

@xray174 1. its simple the iPhone 3.5" screen established itself as the best screen size at the time, and so for a competitor to come out with a smaller screen size was STUPID. 2. if you watch my videos in the last year or so then you know HOW MUCH I WANT A BIGGER SCREEN, a 4" display on the iPhone would be nice ! but i HAVE NOTICED that with the retina display on my iPhone 4s the quality is so damn good the bigger screen isn't to much of a want...but ye...id love a bigger screen

What i love is that verizon gives 5gb of mobile hotspot per month for all palm devices!

Nice video btw. Not too long or too short and straight to the key points. It has been a while since i've seen videos like these. Keep up the great work .

[DRBUK]

@kusty91 i really tried to squeeze it all in 10 mins lol...the reason why it is short is because I KNEW THESE POINTS I MADE FOR MONTHS ! i was DYING TO MAKE THIS VIDEO, its too easy, its all laid out in my head, and when i have that situation in my head ITS SO EASY TO MAKE A VIDEO and to make it shorter than usual...

Not every piece of hardware. What about Printers?

[DRBUK]

@TMBRF I'm talking webos hardware, yes they want to put webos on printers, but its not a done deal...also literally in the last few days HP may sell a division they called PERSONAL SYSTEMS DIVISION, which has printers, accessories etc. they may even sell the Computer division ! its all crazy ! lol hp apparently need to sell 7 computers to make the money of apple selling one, and so hp are saying now that yes we are no.1 but the profit is small and tedious so meh..

[DRBUK]

@DevilStalkerJax lol to the old school DRBUK vieres & subscribers. this is just THE RETURN OF THE OLD DRBUK ! lol

[DRBUK]

@carmelomotta lol wow....first of all I am using a MacBook Pro with the new HD FaceTime camera.....second of all this is late evening/night so excuse the lighting, other than that the video is also up in 720p how can you be complaining about the video quality...second of all Apple at the moment is the only company near the King spot...no one else sadly...also don't waste my time with pointless comments, argue back, don't just leave an open statement, thats no good to a debate

[xray174]

@DRBUK agree like u said web os has great potential but its over yeah 3.5 is not a del breaker

[hunkashoo]

the screen is actually 3.1 on the palm pre / pre + i think lol.

What's so incredibly stupid (speaking about the management for a bit), is that they had the Touchpad on shelves for a MONTH. You can't make rational decisions for a product's future after a month. They basically said that because tablets seem to be the future, that's why they'll be spinning off their computer division.

Ok, so if tablets are the future, then...WHY DID YOU KILL YOURS AFTER A MONTH???

I have my iPad and I'm happy with it, but it's nice to see new tech out there...way to go, HP.

Great video and I think you are spot on with all of your points.

[AppScreencast]

Great video Adrian. informative and you got all your opinions across.

You said it right but too shied. WebOS is WAY BETTER than iOS. It's just a matter of bad/none marketing and no incentives for apps developers. If I had to pick a new host for WebOS it would be Apple/Iphone. They would benefit so much from WebOS true innovative ideas. If Apple/Iphone wants to keep playing with Android, well; now if they want to (figuratively) KILL the mobile competitors and dominate once and for all! BUY WEBOS and APPLY to the plain simple iOS the MULTITASKING MAGIC from WebOS.
