Palm only *had* 100k devices in the supply chain the first weekend. Two weeks after the launch, every Sprint store in my area is still sold out, and has a waiting list at least a dozen deep. Would they have sold a million Pres if there were no shortages? No, but to blame lack of sales on a lack of excitement about the phone is, at best, an incomplete explanation.

Verizon's already announced they'll be getting a WebOS phone (maybe not the Pre) once the exclusive period runs out at the end of this year.

But yeah, Apple is the king of smartphones right now, and nothing will change that in the near future. All I said when this thread started was that Apple should take the Pre seriously, and I stand by that statement now that I own one.
