It's streaming, so you don't need a ton of storage on the device itself. I've watched a couple feature length movies streamed to my 700p through orb, and it worked very well. It's password protected, and you specify which folders orb is allowed to access. It also lets you download files from your home computer, so for occasional need documents, I'll leave them on my PC and access them from orb.
2. Chatteremail works differently than versamail (crappy) and Snapper (not bad, but didn't real-time sync like Chatteremail. If you dig through the old Palm forums about e-mail programs, most people agreed Chatter was the best, because of the All inbox view (just like the Pre) and the Imap/IDLE realtime sync. When I first saw the Pre email app at CES, I thought (and I think I twittered it) This looks EXACTLY like Chatter, which would make sense, given they hired the guy.
1. i use a company laptop and i have no desire to leave it on 24/7 so that rules out ORB. i would love to have some kind of cloud solution for Excel/Word Docs - maybe DTG or MSFT (Mesh?) or Palm themselves will come up with a solution?
2. i know lots of people loved it, but i DESPISED Chatteremail. i felt it was buggy and unintuitive. the way it handled the trash drove me crazy. i hope Palm's email app is much more elegant in its implementation.
QUESTION - so we will have TRUE PUSH with the PRE via GMAIL IMAP4 IDLE?????????????????
