Ok so as I had said before I am completely aware that these features are available thru hacks patches and homebrews and it is obvious that these features are needed and wanted cause if not you and all the others would not be using webOS quickinstall but that is my point why does PALM not have these feature already why do they have a FEEDBACK link if they don't listen to it, when they have all of these highly overpaid programmers who spend hours hacking into itunes and it looks like they get there thrills and feel they have achieved something  yet they don't spend any time adding these simple features WHY???

This forum is full of suggestions how many of theme have actually come to light NON!!!! The only ones listening are these garage programmers who (no disrespect I love these guys) actually spend time coming up with useful hacks patches and homebrews

WAKE UP PALM!!!!!!!! before you also end up needing a Goverment Bailout!!!!

Ok fine so the software programmers have no say well then someone get me the personal e-mail of any of these guys

Maybe one of them will listen since PALMS link for suggestions seem to be more of a "make sure non of this get added to webOS" link

Does any one know who is in charge of what gets updated on the PRE????? maybe that person has no Idea what people really want and are clueless to peoples needs!!!!! Maybe they need to be given a link to this forum 

I apologize to the programmers if the have no say on what the want to work on so if any programmer reads this point me in the direction we need to go to make things happen

Thanks!!

And Embrace Android

It appears that Wall Street is giving up on Palm after sales of the Pre have been massively disappointing, and Sprint (their only US partner) appears to be focusing more and more on HTC Android-powered phones these days. At the same time, developers are recognizing that if they're creating mobile apps, they need to decide which platforms to work on, and the markets for the iPhone and Android smartphones look a lot more exciting

Or how about Android ON a Palm Pre?  There's already a project like that underway.  I, for one, would really relish that outcome.  Android would really shine on the Pre since the hardware is pretty good (on par with the iPhone 3GS sans compass).

Maybe if The pre ran on android we could get these

1. Notification led alert

2. Ability to choose your own notification sounds

3. Text forward

4. Virtual Keyboard

5. Change phone dialing keypad "sound"

6. Ability to change brightness of screen and keyboard separately

7. Voice dial

8. More Launcher pages

9. E-mail landscape

10. Video Recording

You could also have the basics like multi-touch... well not on any stock Android build.

Both WebOS and Android are quite in their infancy.  WebOS is practically a newborn compared to Android.  Android has been on the market for well over a year.  WebOS is still under 6 months.  In my opinion both platforms have a LOT of potential.  WebOS is amazingly great for the very few updates it has had.  Actually, in Improvements vs Time, I would have to say WebOS is head and shoulders above everything out there.  Not to mention the ability to easily patch new features in that are simply coded and distributed by the user community.

Just my $0.02.

By the looks of pixi it seems that Palm has once again not added any of the features from the main list and since the Pixi also has no led light in the center I think it is safe to say that Palm has no intention of adding any kind of missed notification alert on there phones even with the upcoming 1.3.1

so here is the new list of what WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE IN 1.3.1 update!
