i went from a palm pre to my EVO 4G... and I felt crippled with my EVO 4G... I was way more productive with my Palm Pre, so naturally, I was really hoping for WebOS 3.0. Sadly, they didn't optimized it to the T like iOS and WP7 did... and they have control over the hardware and took them forever to release it too!
What have they been doing? seriously, I just thought it was funny they became overly ambitious when they said that they were going to use WebOS on PC/Laptops in the future. I got a 32 GB during the staples 100+100 off, and I returned it... thank goodness... Though it was cool messing around with, the plastics, and the weight really put a damper on the experience. But it was the fastest WebOS experience I've seen yet!
I'd put a safe bet now that I can put my life savings in Apple products. Not that I'm an apple fan boy (I don't have an apple product yet... but I DID buy my father an ipad, and he LOVES it--mainly because he's tech-idiot and needs a cool device to get him on the boat) But mainly because apple just does things right. They hit user experience first... the core of everything, what people really care about, then hit them with features later as either a "payable addon" or just an update.
