2:37PM: I just asked about tethering.

2:34PM: Alright I’m cutting out of the webcast. Nothing new here. I feel like this was an event more geared towards people who haven’t seen the Pre yet at all or watched the videos. They KNEW that people watching were “tech savvy” but…. OHHHH

The webcast has been a bit of a bummer… not gonna follow the questions unless they’re interesting. Which they haven’t really been.

Question 6: Limit to # of cards open at a time? Yes – no specific number yet.

Question 5: Flash support? Near end of 2009.

Question 4: Still on track for date? Yes

Question 3: Will the center button “light up” like at CES? Yes.

Question 2: How does Pre support email? Google directly, Microsoft Exchange, POP accounts, etc…

Question 1: Asking about Sprint TV and Sprint Applications. The answer is yes they WILL be on the Palm Pre

11:22PM: Main webinar done. Here comes Q&A

11:17PM: I’m getting kind of bored so I’m going to start subtracting 3 and do Pacific Time since I have some free time.

2:15PM: Nothing new yet. This stuff is already on more YouTube videos than you can imagine.

2:14PM: Showing off the Quick Launch “Wave”

2:13PM: I wish the video area was big and the PowerPoint-ish area was small. I can’t see what’s happening on the phone.

2:12PM: iPhone diss #1  – He said, “Did you say you can remove the battery? Wow!”

2:10PM: YAY! Time to whip out the device!
