There's what Palm should do, and what Palm will be able to do given their finances.

What Palm SHOULD do is:

- Release a Pre with a memory configuration identical to the Samsung Omnia...16GB onboard AND a microSD slot. I don't even like microSD slots, but this would be a potent combo against the rest of the market now that the base Pre has launched.
- Increase the screen size to 3.6 inches or larger.
- Stop at nothing to get the first Hulu app.
- Jump on the OLED bandwagon quick.
- Add Microsoft Live Search and Google Voice functionality into the core WebOS build
- Seek out partnerships with sports leagues and leverage Sprint partnerships to develop apps equivalent to MLB-at-bat for the iPhone for football, basketball, soccer,...hell, maybe even UFC.

What Palm will be able to do is:

- Release incremental memory upgrades
- Stick around 3.2-3.1 inches for screen size
- Maybe get lucky enough to non-exclusively partner with some streaming media company. Maybe.
- Get OLED after a lot of other phones have it.
- Spotlight the NFL and NASCAR apps
