Ha! You’ve gotta love it. I just read this article on Engadget. Based on this leak of an AT&T internal document I’d say AT&T execs are fearing the release of the Palm Pre. They put out this little memo to their peeps pretty much saying the iPhone is vastly superior to the Pre. That’s fine…I [...]

Palm unveiled the Palm Pre at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) yesterday and wow…I must say I’m impressed. After watching them release weak update after weak update, I wasn’t sure what to expect out of their next phone. I’m more than pleased with what I see so far and am willing to stick with Sprint [...]

And there you have it…Apple’s iPhone has just overtaken Palm for the number two spot in business for smartphone penetration. We already knew the iPhone was taking the consumer market by storm, but this jump to number two in the enterprise is big news for the people up there in Cupertino.
