Fixing Palm

[Elia Freedman]

I was reading a good interview with Jon Rubinstein, CEO of Palm, by Fortune Magazine and for some reason started flipping through the comments. Here was my favorite: 

"I have a Pre and I am rooting for Palm but here is what they need to fix: 1. Add a hardware back key."

I laughed so hard I almost fell out of my seat and thought all of you would appreciate this. That's right, Palm. Add a hardware back button, a la blackBerry, and all your problems will be solved!

The other day I played with an Archos 5 Android tablet thing, and found it has no hardware buttons at all, save for power.

Took me 2 minutes to get to the homescreen to verify that it is indeed Android. A hardware button may not be that silly a thing if it makes all the difference.

A call button....that's all I want on my Backflip. It feels sometimes
like I have to go through hoops to make a simple call lol
