No news on Canadian Paid apps like I was hoping but there was enough great news that I can wait a little longer. WebOS is shaping up quite nicely and quite quickly.

i wish the palm looked and was built better, the palm OS is very impressive and arguably better then the iphone but the hardware just ain't cuttin it be honest.

I've heard that, and while a 2 piece system will always have more problems than a one piece, the Pre is not that bad. But that is one area where the + model is suppose to have improved on, better sliding mechanisim, no ball, that sort of thing. The only real grip I have with my Pre is the USB hinge, and I very very rarely use that due to the touchstone.
