Slight (?) thread hijack here.
My wife just got a business provided smart phone - our first venture in that direction. It's a Samsung Omnia, based on Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional. She has just started learning about it so we have no feedback yet, but that's not the point of this post. The 5 posted Verizon user ratings are horrible for the phone.
Two weeks ago I was in a Best Buy down in Ft. Lauderdale just before closing time. There happened to be a Palm rep there, and he showed me a little bit about the Palm Pre (I was looking for something to get my netbook online where I had no internet access - again not the point of this post, but the Palm Pre provides a 5-user wifi hot spot). He talked about aps. He said that within the next couple of months, there would be thousands (I think he actually said close to 100,000) aps released for the Palm Pre, which would make it a very attractive phone. Have any of you mavens heard this?
