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.
You made some great points I would add though...
*indicates a feature blackberry already has had for a LONGGG TIME
-better battery life*
-better contacts management, synergy is great and all but adding all my AIM screen names just because i signed into aim is DUMBB
-better search functionality, i should be able to search anything and everything on my phone*
-better access to the root of the phone for developers*
-more copy and paste in other areas of the phone, ie browser and received text messages*
-OLED touch screen (as person above said)
-microSD card slot* (as person above said
-increased screen size
-ability to have browser add ons (firefox esque sort of thing, so people can sync bookmarks, etc)
thats all. those are the reasons why i'm getting a new blackberry to replace my curve that can do all those things and not the PRE. The only thing the PRE gives me is a bigger screen, worse battery life, and a nicer browser.
