Hello all,

Recent Pre purchaser, short-term chat room lurker, avid enthusiast and insufferable American here.

It has come to my attention that Rod Whitby, admin of webos-internals and a developer of Preware and a number of other apps, HAS NO PRE!

This is unbelievable, but it turns out that Telestra, the infamous Australian telecom, has not yet signed a contract with Palm allowing the Pre to be sold Down Under.

Mr. Whitby not having a pre is unacceptable. So I have donated $25 to the cause of his purchasing an unlocked phone, not bound to any network, to develop with.

The email address to donate to is (captcha) buy-rod-a-pre at rwhitby dot net. The current selling price for an unlocked Pre is somewhere in the 600-750 range. Only a few of you need donate, and not that much money!

Rod has promised to donate any money above and beyond the amount necessary to buy a phone to other major developers who are unfortunately in countries with unjust and insufferable telecoms, after which he will donate any FURTHER money (ha ha) to webos-internals.

Thank you for your time, thank you for your donations, and Rod, Keep up the good work!

-Hugh Eisenman
