I got to install my old receiver at my dad's place today. I hope it brings him as much happiness as it brought me.

I will miss WebOs. I will not miss the crappyness of the Palm pre's hardware.

I have an awesome new phone!!

My Pre's case was cracked, the headphone jack was jacked and I didn't have the insurance. And for reasons unknown to me or the sales guy @sprint I was eligible for the full upgrade discount despite 6 months left on my contract.

So I'm posting this from my shiny, huge new samsung Epic. It's outstanding so far.

Welcome to the world of Android. I think you'll find yourself right at home.

Yeah, we're definitely off the Palm bandwagon. Good software (though nobody's really developing for it very hard) but awful hardware. Mine has been repaired five times now (mostly for issues with the headphone jack but other things as well). Lani's on her second phone.

Lani's hairdresser got a Pre at the same time we did and went through five phones before he bitched and moaned enough that they let her pick a new phone (Evo, I think).

It's such a shame. Maybe when hp relases the webos tablet it'll gain some steam (cnet is talking it up once again) but it's a majorunderdog. Android is great, but there are a handful of thins in webos that I will miss forever.

I still miss graffiti

At work we have a standing monthly meeting for discussing platform support for mobile banking and for people to bring up anything noteworthy in the market. A standing joke at this point is for me to shout out webOS while holding up my phone, when it is asked if there are any new platforms we should support. We all laugh and move on.

I keep reading this as WebO's - like it is a now defunct cereal or child's pasta dish.

After struggling with returning to school, I've succeeded in re-acquiring one of my courses. So 1 class is not bad. Already behind a week but catching up!
