Give us a profile that turns off e-mail and text message alert sounds but leaves the ringer on. Blackberry does it. My crap Samsung doesn't. I don't even think the iPhone does it. Last night a friend at a hockey game (who had too much to drink) kept texting me after midnight when I was trying to sleep. I had to turn off my phone. What then, if someone needed to call me in an emergency situation? Hey, Matias – here’s a request that will definitely enhance the user experience with the Palm Pre.

I just watched the presentation, of Palm pre. Nice and easy, although i suspect a lot of work went into it! :-) The OS seems like it was built by taking the best from the iphone os, and shredding all the rest, which makes sense, like using "page flipping" in the browser mode, and applying it across the palm, OS. But what brings it home is the clear passion of the whole team for simplicity of use, and giving technology a human touch, with gestures, and universal search/synergy which exactly addresses my biggest issues with the iphone. The fact is the universe tends towards increased complexity and synergy and the hypercard "stack " metaphor adresses the issue by maing the pre an extension of the web, like an in & output machine in tune with the user. becoming an extension device of all the information available on the web. I truly hope some of these features will be inspiring other manufacturers out there, as well as computers and that this sets a new standard for the way input devices are created going forward.

Wow. I'm stunned. It's everything the Sidekick should have become. Hell, It's what all computers should become. J. I just watched the CES Video on the Palm Website.

Wow. I’m stunned.

It's great to see real paradigm-nudging progress. The WIMP has served us well these 40 years (counting from Englebart's mother of all demos), but we're overdue for new ideas and I'm delighted that you're getting some into production on the Palm Pre. I have an iPhone, but I want your device now, and it's the interaction design that has me sold. Ten points to Gryffindor. Bravo, and thank you for the WebOS user experience design.

Palm's webOS is amazing. I'm a Mac user that never took the iPhone plunge, but I guarantee you the next phone I buy will be the Palm Pre. I like your quote from 2007 "I expect we’re soon going to be using UI that’s more Minority Report than OS X on our devices". You were dead on :P What's it like working with Rubinstein? It almost seems like Apple has had their time in the spotlight. Maybe it's time for you and Ruby to drive tech for a while. Good luck! Great job with your presentation at CES!
