The summary is that there is no reason at all to get off your sofa!Wicked Witch Has Eaten Oz (and Asia)
[From TJ
Netherlands] Looks like the good folks down under will have to do
without webOS. Palm has confirmed that it has no plans in the near future
to release any webOS products in Asia
Pacific markets. “At this moment in time, we do not yet have any plans to launch the
Palm Pre or any of our new WebOS products in Asia Pacific. Our focus right now
is to establish a strong presence in North America and Europe. However, we do
not discount the possibility of offering this new range of products at a later
date.
It is therefore not a rumor that Palm has significantly reduced its presence in the region to one of operational support to our existing customers requiring our in-warranty services and technical support for our sold products.”

I Love My All-In-One Phone
[From Stuart Hunt
Louisville, Ky] I'm using my mobile device mostly as an all-in-one gadget: PID device checking email, browing the web (when without laptop, keeping my gCal up-to-date, syncing google contacts, etc. However, I'm also using it as a GPS navigator, and listening to alot of podasts and music.
