Oh well.

LOL..OT... at my last high school reunion, I got to talking to one of my classmates who worked for Apple. He was fairly hammered on beer and mixed drinks so I proceeded to ask him about NDA stuff like what's comming from Apple. He spilled the beans on the unibody macbooks and details like unibody alum construction, FW800 only, displayport and the glass trackpad...this was months before it was announced.

What is the first rule of Fight Club?

this would make sense. perhaps the camera is setup now to focus for photos. video might be another matter. webos would need control of the lens, aka autofocus and a better barcode app.

During the CES announcement of the Pre last year, I swear that I overheard that the camera would have a software auto-focus feature.

There's no such thing...

Pre user "Yay it's Feb 1st we're gonna get the update any time now!"

Palm "Yay we have til Feb 29th to push out the update!"

Verizon "We sell the pre? Damn...."

The pre has a fixed lens....this isn't going to happen.

thats something i would totally end up doing, but all my NDA's are for seriously boring stuff.

**Spader** · 02/03/2010, 05:59 PM

I'm more likely to tell people I have an NDA that I don't have and make up all sorts of stories about things I know nothing about after a few drinks.

Just to be clear I heard 1.4 might not be released on the 15th.

Def a fact....the Palm Pre has a fixed focus lens...meaning it cannot move to adjust focus. This is something that can only be done through hardware. Rumor sadly destroyed!

I would like to see the words 'sly dog' put under an NDA.

**showmrock** · 02/03/2010, 06:27 PM

Def a fact as well...it might not be released on the 15th....I'm betting a day or two before Valentines....
