Kudos to Palm for coming out of dormancy with an exciting new product.

I bought a Palm Treo 650 three years ago and I couldn't live a day without it. I will buy a Palm Pre and benefit from it for as many years.

If Palm falls off the map, I'll still have my Pre. When dead iPhone batteries force their owners to upgrade, I will buy a replacement Pre battery and continue uninterrupted. Planned obsolescence is a filthy revenue stream.

The Pre hardware is an iPhone with a time-tested and beloved keyboard. webOS is innovative and could have some serious potential. These elements make it the best iPhone clone out there.

If Apple did it first, but Palm does it better, who is the winner?
