Re:Palm did it: better experience than Apple by baddox on Saturday January 10, 2009 @02:54AM (#427776)
And yet, I still can't figure out what's so good or new about the App Store. Sure, it's a centralized place to get mobile software, but it's not hard at all to find software online for other platforms (Palm, Windows Mobile,etc.). If anything, the App Store with its renowned restrictions, simply limits the number of interesting applications released for the iPhone. It may be good for the developers, I can't argue that point, although I don't understand why it would be. And about "success." The Razr had enjoyed more "success" than the iPhone by how you must be measuring success. I measure success by how satisfied I am with the phone, even if no one else bought the thing. I'm not saying the Palm Pre will be great, because there's no way to know.
