This wired piece doesn't even recognize that the document is Sprint's, not Palm's.

I'm likely going to cancel my Wired subscription.

Wired is run by a bunch of amateurs who don't even know the tech industry. That article doesn't surprise me in the least.

Just last week they ran an article saying how the Pre had an edge on the iPhone in that Sprint's roll-out of a 4G network would be before ATT's...

They're absolutely incompetent.

I wish I could make the "thanks" count several times. I can't believe the way this document is being misconstrued.

Imagine the nerve of Palm and Sprint, actually trying to determine if the phone will suit the customer before sending them out with it!!

Dont be a hole!
Because there was no need to. If I was running the IT department that had the "yes" answer to any of those questions, I already know that the Pre is not the device for my department. It's simple.
