Did you read those at all?
1. It fails because of per kb data charges..... Well we have unlimited now
2. It fails because of Apple dosent play nice with others and other device makers will push it out of deals with carriers....Well they seem to play nice with att....
3. Really?
4. It fails because of no tactile response....Unless the author goes on to say it has a good predictive text.
5. Noone is predicting it fails in that article.

People arrested for jailbreaking: 0
that number isn't going anywhere
Actually the FBI is going to trackdown and arrest every member of Modmyi, it's worth the money and it will take off millions of evil jailbreakers off the streets. iPhone's everywhere will be safe.

the fact the apple looks at their modding community as copyright infringement means nothing to you?

what's funny about that? "jailbreaking" is not some magical Apple product method of customization.
Windows Mobile devices have been doing tweaks like you posted for years prior.

what's that medical app that all the doctors drool over?
items of this nature would be nice in a hospital setting. each room or patient could have one in place of charts. doctors could update records in real time, order tests, double check drug interactions.
patients could use them to check email or whatever else web related while they are laying there waiting to die.
of course, none of this would be possible in County since they would all get stolen.
I like this concept. maybe send the tip to the Palm request line.

It's funny because Windows Mobile sucks, and the themes arent as extensive. Look at the screen shot with stacks!! stacks!!! on a phone!! And obviously not every windows mobile device is capable of doing this

Why should I care? They like to have control over the entire experience, I don't see why they wouldn't take that stance.
Are they going to take legal action? No.
I've even brought my jailbroken iPhone to the genius bar, and showed it off the Apple employees. They all thought it was pretty cool, luckily they didn't have me arrested right?

The truth is, it is easier to theme a pre than an iphone.

After 500 posts later ,I know what this thing is
This is nothing but an ebook / e-reader that can half browse the internet.
I think Steve J didn't want to market this as an e-reader or ebook simply because the issue of eink would be raised by everyone from cnet to cnn. So they tried to spin this as a magical internet device.
That's it ladies and gentlemen, its an ebook based on iPod Touch for folks who needed bigger screen.
PALM can do a similar one. If they really want to be in the game , they should partner with Amazon. A new C40 with Wimax / e ink, multitasking, cards and physical keyboard would practically kill many devices.

DYING PATIENT - "Are you the doctor?"
DOCTOR - "Yes I am. I'm here to help"
DYING PATIENT - "What can you do for me?"
DOCTOR - "I'm sorry, I'm the
WebOS Doctor. I'm here to restore the tablet. You bricked it."
DYING PATIENT - "Oh."
DOCTOR - "I'll be coming by pretty much every day."
DYING PATIENT - "Well, that's nice."

Subjective statement...
4. easy steps
1. download black rain (5 second jailbreak)
2. download cydia
3. download winterboard (theme app)
4. download theme
Also the themes are more than chaging icons and font colors. They can change the entire UI of the phone and apps within the phone.

That I can agree completely. WinMo was (is) powerful, they need to polish UI,Speed,stability.

Check out civil law vs criminal law. I don't think there have been any lawsuits to date, but that was true of the music industry regarding illegal MP3 downloads for a long time as well (and your attitude was similar to that of the lawbreakers)... Not so much any more....

yeah, how about creating the theme? See, I have a custom theme on my Pre. Made it myself.

I've only modified or combines already made themes.
Most people who download themes, don't create them
Edit: It's easy just to replace icons and the font color on the iPhone, the more complex themes are well, more complex.
Want to make your own theme? There's an app for that:

I'm sure they've developed easier ways since the days of iPhone 2.0

Downloading illegal mp3 equates to stealing
Jailbreaking my phone for custom themes doesn't
anyway I'm not going to get into a jailbreaking argument, back to the original offtopic- topic
yeah iPad SUCKS!!!!No one will buy it. Did you see the iPad Mad tv skit?

Ok. I will try again. Its a large screen device that can..........
read ebooks, read magazines, read comics, email, edit docs and spreadsheets, access my database, IM, VOIP calls, browse the web, check facebook, check twitter, play games, access my corporate calendar, access my task list, access my notes, play my music, watch video, access all of my iPhone apps, etc.
While the iPhone/touch can do many of these things, the larger screen allows for a better experience in MOST cases. If you don't agree that's fine. You can continue using your netbook and kindle, or hoping for the hybrid amazon/Palm tablet that in your own words will "kill many devices".

Not if Apple had their way. I've read the complaint. Apples says using the bootloader is what is infringing. Your right though back on topic, I forgot what the topic was so I need to look at the topic tags....
