The Palm Pre is dead. Your Epic Failure is now Complete So today Sprint has taken the Pre out of the store.

Realtime collaboration on the iphone? Enter Adobe Connect mobile. This is great news, and WAY faster then I expected it. Right now, there is not a solution for real time collaboration for mobile devices, and given limitations of screen real estate , memory and CPU power, its not surprising. The great part about flash, is how easy it is to build modules and swap… Read More
