Radio Appearance Forthcoming, other stuff

Hey everyone. I will be doing my weekly segment on SuperSport 930 out of Jackson, Miss., in a bit. That extravaganza will begin around 9:05 a.m. CST.

We'll be talkin' Auburn, the Heisman Trophy, Tiger Woods, Tim Tebow, Doug Barfield. The usuals.

Be there or be rectangular.

SCHEDULE UPDATE
Auburn has released its practice schedule for the next few weeks. There is good news for j00. A few of those practices will be open for 30 minutes, which means you'll get some practice video. Aren't you excited? Maybe we'll get some footage of scout-team stalwarts PPL and Tyrik Rollison.

Dates: Saturday, Sunday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday (Dec. 18), Saturday (Dec. 19), Monday (Dec. 21), Tuesday (Dec. 22).

Then they're off until Tampa.

To try and not get too specific, it is usually foolish to try and blame a situation on one specific cause. There is plenty of blame to go around.

It is much more productive to look to the future. Heck, many bashed Chizik before he gotten started at Auburn. Look to the future. As for past coaches, I hope they do well. I consider them Auburn men, other than one whom I will not mention.

During the next 2 to 3 years we will get a good idea of how Chizik will do. He is off to a great start. Maintaining a program isn't easy in the SEC, but I like Chizik's chances.

By the way, I also remember a bunch of Auburn fans trashing Chizik when he left for Texas. It wasn't on here, but it happened. You never know when things may come back around, and in this case they did.

Seanzie said...: Mike DuBose. Awesome coach.; 1:24 PM
FSJ said...: Jay says that Auburn will have solid B score in recruiting this year.; 1:24 PM
FSJ said...: Trooper Taylor not the best recruiter on the staff..

Per Jay G...

Bags...Trooper not a great coach.; 1:25 PM
Scott M. Brannan said...: Trooper does have the best towel on campus, despite not being the best recruiter on the offensive staff.

just statin' facts.; 1:25 PM
FSJ said...: Thigpen and Grimes are very good... per Jay G.; 1:25 PM
Seanzie said...: Trooper is a good WR coach. He's done well with T-Zach and Adams. I would expect to see a vast improvement with the newer kids next season.; 1:26 PM
FSJ said...: scottie...

Trooper's towel reminds me of when I used to go to games at Legion Field.

Anybody ever park in someone's backyard near Legion Field?

Always wondered if I would have a car when I got back.; 1:27 PM
Scott M. Brannan said...: i've parked back there a few times FSJ. nice.; 1:27 PM
FSJ said...: Jay...

The approach Auburn's taking will be successful. They will be as good as Tommy was.; 1:27 PM
digger4au said...: YES and if you paid the towel it seem to work out OK; 1:28 PM
FSJ said...: Nick Saban is a special coach....

When Saban leaves, Bama will be mortal again....

per Jay G.; 1:29 PM
FSJ said...: Bags pimping nuts now.; 1:30 PM
Scott M. Brannan said...: FSJ, do you feel like JG when he live blogs Tiger Talk?; 1:31 PM
FSJ said...: I do scottie...

We need a few more callers without questions though.; 1:31 PM
Scott M. Brannan said...: "hey jay. hey bag. wuzzup. this is scottie b from tennessee. just wanted to let you know that i just love your program and i love my auburn tigers. i love coach chiz. i think he's done a terrific job. i know yall will continue to do a great job reporting on the tigers. keep it up. and go trooper. he has the best towel in the SEC!"

that help FSJ?; 1:33 PM
Seanzie said...: You know it's funny, if Saban acts in real life like he did in The Blind Side I can't see him coming across as super impressive.; 1:34 PM
FSJ said...: excellent scottie....; 1:35 PM
Seanzie said...: If I would have heard him say something about curtains I might wonder about him.; 1:35 PM
Seanzie said...: I can't call but I can pretty much agree with everything Scottie said.; 1:35 PM
Scott M. Brannan said...: Bag with a Nip/Tuck shout-out. nice.

FSJ said...: TMZ discussion now..; 1:38 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: FSJ - thanks for the live blog

with regards to Legion field... the back yard was the $afe$t place. Park on the free street in front of one of those yards and they'll tear your car up for spite.; 1:39 PM
Unknown said...: Someone call in and ask if PPL will need binoculars to see the field.; 1:39 PM
FSJ said...: $22 Million a month income?

I'd party like a rock star too.; 1:40 PM
digger4au said...: Or a step stool to see over the bench??; 1:40 PM
Scott M. Brannan said...: JG said earlier today that PPL was shrinking. we may need binoculars to see HIM on the sidelines period.; 1:40 PM
Scott M. Brannan said...: gotta run. later.; 1:41 PM
FSJ said...: Kobe discussion now..; 1:42 PM
Unknown said...: It is amazing to think of our receiving corps next season. Hawthorne, Taylor, and Adams still around. Blake and DeAngelo looking to step in. Four high profile recruits coming in. That is impressive.; 1:42 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: Colt & Tebow are getting Suh's & Toby's namews left off too many ballots... suspect early voters are to blame.; 1:43 PM
Seanzie said...: Maybe we can run the A-11 with all WRs.; 1:43 PM
FSJ said...: Lol at Jay..

"If you are gonna hit this chick..."; 1:43 PM
FSJ said...: skanky reference....

Nice...

Augmented...too perfect.... artificial...; 1:44 PM
FSJ said...: Jay went out with a chick that was still rolling with the bangs.....after they were out of style.; 1:45 PM
FSJ said...: They weren't skanks..

They were just very giving.; 1:45 PM
digger4au said...: They have run out of topics..somebody cut the show; 1:47 PM
FSJ said...: Jay G...

Shout out to Oral Roberts' coach...; 1:48 PM
FSJ said...: Lebo not gonna make it...; 1:49 PM
FSJ said...: A little Joan Jett...; 1:53 PM
FSJ said...: Jay with a shout out for Auburn's call in show.; 1:54 PM
WarEagleRK said...: I have thought for years that Lebo wasn't going to make it, nothing seems to get him fired.; 1:54 PM
FSJ said...: Tubs wife looked down on Jay..; 1:55 PM
digger4au said...: How tall is she?; 1:56 PM
Unknown said...: I have been under the assumption that this was a do or die year for Lebo and so far die appears to be in the lead.; 1:58 PM
FSJ said...: Saban doesn't work harder than everybody else per Jay.; 1:58 PM
FSJ said...: Attorney joke by bags and Jay G..

Closing with a little Sweet Home...; 1:59 PM
FSJ said...: Jay G with the shout out to us all..

Finis...; 1:59 PM
WarEagleRK said...: Ah the shout out, the 5 mins I listened was justified.; 2:00 PM
digger4au said...: Good job FSJ; 2:00 PM
Seanzie said...: Thanks for doin' the liveblog, Faker. You've moved up a notch in my book. That puts you at notch one. Congrats.; 2:00 PM
FSJ said...: LOL sean..

Thanks digger..; 2:01 PM
Seanzie said...: J/k you should be up to about 4 or 5 by now.; 2:02 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: I gave some individual shout outs!; 2:06 PM
FSJ said...: That you did..I'm not quick enough to get them all down.; 2:08 PM
Scott M. Brannan said...: thanks for the shout-out JG. i came back in my office to hear it. just in time.

FSJ, a job well done sir.; 2:12 PM
Norm said...: Did I get an individual shout out? I'm sure I did, so thanks Jay. Stupid con-calls on a stupid day off.; 2:12 PM
FSJ said...: The guy from the Heisman site on Finebaum now saying they might not give a projection at all due to how close the race is.; 2:12 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: shout out to Frankenbummer!; 2:23 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: But dude said my heisman vote was "wasted."; 2:24 PM
Jet said...: Anyone talks about Trooper, and I have to kick their 244 without even moving.; 2:26 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: ha; 2:26 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: maybe he meant to say he was wasted when he was looking at your heisman vote; 2:27 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: "The guy from the Heisman site on Finebaum now saying they might not give a projection at all due to how close the race is."

That's kind of peculiar, seeing how Ingram's lead keeps growing.; 2:29 PM
Seanzie said...: THT, on his site he explains the margin of victory is always smaller on race day than it is in his projection. I.e. they had Tebow winning in 07 by 19.4 percent, he actually won by 9.3 percent. They have less than 4 percent difference between the top 3.; 2:31 PM
Jet said...: Policy clarifiction ... I never rejoined the Lebo Bandwagon, so we should be undefeated.

Just sayin'.

Fire his 244.; 2:34 PM
Jet said...: I make free throws ... from the opposite free throw line.; 2:36 PM
CHB said...: If you fire Lebo you need a plan in place. I say drop a couple mil and get someone.; 2:36 PM
digger4au said...: I hope Ingram wins the Heisman Trophy.
Then
Another Kuckle dragging, Chest thumping Cousin Humper myth we be gone.
I have heard over the past 50 years "Alabmama doesn't care about individual awards, at bammer it is team team team." Watch that change in a nano-second; 2:38 PM
CHB said...: digger I heard that just the other day then this morning they are complaining because they got shut out last night.; 2:39 PM
Jet said...: Shaka Smart for Head Hoops Coach!

SHAKA CAN!; 2:40 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: Can you pull your brain out though your ears? 'Cause I'm about to try it. If you don't hear from me again, it worked. If I'm still around, I'll probably complain about the ensuing earache.; 2:41 PM
digger4au said...: M=B they always want it both ways, always have, always will.; 2:43 PM
CHB said...: digger thanks for the new name; 2:43 PM
digger4au said...: Welcome Jet; 2:44 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: My ear hurts...and I still want to pull my brain out. BAH!; 2:50 PM
Scott Chocolate said...: PF, the typewriter to class vid was excellent. I loved how he still got the "ding" in there after the professor called him out.; 3:02 PM
Norm said...: The benefit of taking con-calls on your day off is that no one knows how much or what I've been drinking.; 3:07 PM
FSJ said...: I think in old days (i.e before the internet explosion and 24 hour Sportscenter) it was fine to say we don't promote individual players...but times have changed.

You almost have to promote individuals now...Recruiting demands it.

I say that win or lose for Ingram on Saturday.; 3:08 PM
FSJ said...: Zook is purging his coaching staff at Illinois but apparently he'll get another year.; 3:11 PM
Scott Chocolate said...: I read or heard somewhere that if Ingram wins, it will be with the lowest rushing total since 1974. I'm gonna guess that Archie Griffin played less than 13 games, too.; 3:11 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: HABOTNWANRBJGT...keep the dream alive!; 3:11 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: Norm,

in my experience, that can also be hidden on con calls when in the office...; 3:13 PM
FSJ said...: Scott..

If you want a Heisman ripoff how about Hornung beating Johnny Majors.

I believe Notre Dame was terrible in 1956; 3:14 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: i predict projectile vomiting in our household tomorrow night. And it won't be the cooking, which will be excellent as always, I'm sure.; 3:15 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: ND was 2-8 when Hornung won, i think.; 3:15 PM
Norm said...: PF - you're correct. People just assume it's water I drink all day long.; 3:17 PM
FSJ said...: THT...

I think I am going to be cooking brisket tomorrow THT...

That is one category that our cooking team realllllllly needs to work on.; 3:17 PM
mytommyd said...: FSJ would you be saying that if you didn't have any horse in the race? Or would it be that award no one really cares about if you have a championship.; 3:17 PM
FSJ said...: Oh tommy..

No doubt I'd rather have the championship...but I think it is important to promote players for individual awards...be it Heisman, Butkus...whatever.

For all of the talk about the Nebraska defender I'd be interested to see what Derrick Thomas' stats were when he finished near the top ten in the Heisman race..

I recall he had a monster year.; 3:19 PM
FSJ said...: Just looked.

Thomas had TWENTY SEVEN sacks in 1988..and finished 10th in the Heisman.; 3:21 PM
mytommyd said...: Who was that DE from Pitt that nearly won?; 3:21 PM
FSJ said...: Granted the guy that won it was pretty good..

Barry Sanders..

But to only finish 10th?; 3:22 PM
FSJ said...: In a related note..Barry Sanders is the best NFL back I've ever seen.. I remember Walter...watched Emmitt...never got to see Brown or Sayers...

But Barry was in another category to me.; 3:24 PM
Scott M. Brannan said...: so Norm, spill it. what and how much have you or had you been drinking? the hotties want to know. ok, so i want to know.; 3:25 PM
Scott Chocolate said...: Hugh Green was the guy from Pitt. He was 2nd to George Rogers in 1980. I think that was another year without good candidates. FSJ, I'm not saying anyone is getting ripped off if Ingram wins it. I just don't think he'd come close most years. Also, Derrick Thomas compiling stats as a LB are different from what Suh is doing as a DT. With that said, Derrick Thomas probably should have been higher than 10th.; 3:27 PM
FSJ said...: Stiff Arm website just updated...

Ingram increases his lead slightly according to them.; 3:29 PM
Scott Chocolate said...: I'll bet Brent Fullwood or Rudi Johnson would have been going to NY if they had played this year. Hell, Fullwood might have won it. He was 6th in 1986 with 1391 yds rushing when he averaged 8.3 yards per carry.; 3:34 PM
Scott Chocolate said...: I am now through beating the dead horse. I just hate that Ingram is probably gonna win the thing and then UAT will probably follow that up with a MNC on Jan. 7. I may have to move to Australia.; 3:38 PM
Anonymous said...: Jessel Curry is about to play in the GHSA AA championship game in Atl. PBS carries the game live.

Curry plays FB and LB and leads Buford in Ints.

Da'Rick Rogers plays for Calhoun, Ga and is ranked the #10 Wr. The Calhoun Qb has committed to Vandy.

This is a rematch of last year's CG.; 3:41 PM
Unknown said...: If they hire a new basketball coach, they owe Charles Barkley a courtesy call.

"Mr. Barkley, we would like you to come in for a token interview. Are you interested?"; 3:41 PM
FSJ said...: Photo evidence of the Orange Pride girls at games..

Vols; 3:49 PM
Harrison said...: Man, I wish I was good at sports!; 3:57 PM
Scott Chocolate said...: I would have thought that the blonde from the B-52's would recruit for UGA.; 3:59 PM
FSJ said...: That Lacey Earps gets around..

She supposedly was Bryce Brown's girlfriend.; 3:59 PM
FSJ said...: The pictures also show that Mr. Willis was lying through his teeth.; 4:00 PM
Unknown said...: Wow, I can see now that I had Tennessee all wrong. They are much nicer than I thought. I mean, what other school would pose for a picture while committing a recruiting violation. Now, that is considerate.; 4:02 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: Derrick Thomas? HABOTNWANRBJGT!!!!; 4:12 PM
Scott Chocolate said...: Bryce Brown? HTBOTNWANRBJGT!!!!

Colt McCoy? HTBOTNWANRBJGT!!!!

Tim Tebow? HFBOTNWANRBJGT!!!!

Kansas? HKBOTNWANRBJGT!!!!

Tiger Woods? HSBOTNWANRBJGT!!!!; 4:24 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: everything relates back to bammer lately...that was a lot less timely reference than those others. that's all I'm saying....still love FSJ; he's just stepped up homerville (or I've become more sensitive to it, which is probably part of it), so I'm busting his chops, being a jerk, and repeating myself. If you want to make something of it, meet me by the flagpole at 3:30.; 4:35 PM
Scott Chocolate said...: I hear ya, PF. It's kind of a dead time for AU news right now and Bammer stuff is all over the place. Can't really blame FSJ for rolling in it. It could be worse...you could live here in Bammerham.

Do you promise you'll have your tongue stuck to the flagpole when I get out there?; 4:40 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: ...among other things.; 4:44 PM
FSJ said...: How's this for sweet?....The guy that supposedly turned the Vols in was a man named Dan Brooks...who is an assistant at Clemson. He formerly was employed by...wait for it.... Tennessee under Phil Fulmer.; 4:56 PM
Scott Chocolate said...: It's about time for an adult beverage, and I'm not even on a conference call.; 5:00 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: I might have an adult beverage on my drive home tonight. Good idea.; 5:12 PM
BinOBA said...: THis whole girly thing with UT is terrible. EVERY team in the sec has been into this for a long time. I remember visitin lsu under curley hallman twice, very good tours with lots for all of us to look at. Same thing when i went to fsu, girls,girls,girls. I'll have to say the lsu trips were amazing, my hosts were todd kinchen and marc boute, both solid guys that loved lsu. The whole "harumph" is ridiculous to me seeing what i was seeing in 92, it's obviously taken a step but it's basicly the same ole song and dance.; 5:15 PM
Scott Chocolate said...: Watch out for those fire hydrants!; 5:17 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: Bin, is this not about the girls traveling long distance to go to recruits' events? Luv and I agreed on this the other day, though. Nothing new.; 5:18 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: Ground clearance should cover that, I'm worried about the trees. :-); 5:19 PM
BinOBA said...: i really just don't see how they can "prove anything", but it's a very dead time so any news is gonna be sung from the mountaintops and sprinkled with some sensationalism. I mean they have a pic of a person somewhere at a certain time, la di frickin da. Jay is right in that nothing will come of this. I do admit i like the tebow cried for our sins shirt i've seen, but i still hate alabama.; 5:25 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: the only argument to that is the NCAA has a habit of doing whatever they want...it's not the legal system. Dez Bryant lost his career over a lie about something that wasn't even a violation...on the other hand, USC pays people and barely gets a look.; 5:29 PM
Unknown said...: Bin, the picture of the players with their arms around the girls at their high school game could be a clue.; 5:29 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: mytommyd and sean checks arrived today. Thanks!

Tickets will be shipped very soon, I hope.

WARRRRR EAGLE!!!

5 tickets remain available, at cost, in The OFFICIAL HABOTN SECTION for the OUTBACK BOWL. Interested Hotties contact me via the email link under my blogger profile.; 5:31 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: the picture he mentioned in his post?; 5:33 PM
J. Kev said...: By the way:

It does my heart good to see that there are a handful of HOTTIES who have discerning musical tastes.

Those of y'all who like the DBT, Slobberbone, Lucero, etc., should check out my good buddy Cary Hudson. Phenomenal guitarist (best in the state of MS), and used to front a band called Blue Mountain.

I'll have a liner credit on Cary's next solo album. :-)

digger4au said...: On the Heisman I know things have changed but that still doesn't change the fact that I have heard the old Bammer story line at least 1000 times and seen it on al.com 2000 times. but I want him to win it so I can watch the change over and laugh my FAO. FSJ this dosen't mean you personally but there are a ton of Bama fans that it will mean a 180 flip flop.; 6:02 PM

Tar Heel Tiger said...: wakerider - the best antique map fair in the world is in Miami. That's still not enough to get me there.; 7:10 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: rats, Caps score, cut deficit in half.

Tribe and Wildcats still scoreless 9+ minutes into the 1st qtr.; 7:23 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Rats... Caps 2 and Canes 2 after 2

Tribe and Wildcats scoreless after 1st qtr. Temp in the high 20s there, but

BRRRRRRRRRRRR... temps in the low 20s and chance of snow showers for tomorrow's other semifinal in Missoula, MT. The Grizzlies are #1 and 13-0. Happy Appy is #5 and 11-2 (two 5 point losses to open the season at Conf USA champ ECU, and at home against Southland Conf. champ McNeese State). Kickoff 2pm local time, 4 pm EST, ESPNHD.

GO MOUNTAINEERS!!!; 7:50 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Holy cow!!!

W&M just scored on a 98 yard bomb. GO TRIBE!; 8:01 PM
Wakeriderof87 said...: THT, you shouldn't talk to your self, it makes your look crazy.; 8:20 PM
Jet said...: The only thing worse than giving up a 30-yard pass off your goal line is diving for the ball after the guy's already caught it and giving up a 98-yard pass for a touchdown.; 8:35 PM
Wakeriderof87 said...: Is Kansas really an upgrade from Stanford?

I would want to get out of Stanford to get away from the tree huggers, but outside of that I see no reason to leave for Kansas.; 8:39 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: there aren't many trees to hug in Kansas. Unless it's his wife's request, there's no reason for Harbaugh to go to bloody kansas.; 9:05 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Villanova scored, Tribe's lead is now 10-7

Anyone used Google Goggles on their Android phone? Anyone actually have an android phone?
I've wanted an iphone in the worst way, but Android looks pretty good, and I wouldn't have to switch to ATT.; 9:14 PM
Wakeriderof87 said...: My sister has the Motorola Droid, I've played with it and like it alot. I haven't used it enough to find all the annoying quirks that every phone has, but from what I've seen I like it, more than the storm or storm too.

If it was for me I'd choose it over the Iphone, but only because my big clumsy fingers can't type on a touch screen.; 9:16 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: I hate Miami...I can't wait to stop this ridiculous 200 mile (rt) commute to this G-d forsaken city and move closer to the Plains.

Wake, where'd you have to go today?

THT, I saw an ad yesterday for a map collection down here and thought of you.; 9:19 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: I hate Miami...I can't wait to stop this ridiculous 200 mile (rt) commute to this G-d forsaken city and move closer to the Plains.

THT, I saw an ad yesterday for a map collection down here and thought of you.; 9:20 PM
Wakeriderof87 said...: Passport office, which made my day all the more fun.

Whereabouts exactly do you live down that way?; 9:20 PM
ehyou said...: Me and free booze mix well.; 9:21 PM
Wakeriderof87 said...: Me and limited free booze mix well, me and unlimited free booze end with something breaking or nudity.; 9:22 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: Passport Office? Screw that! I'm driving to New Orleans before I think about going to that place in that city.

I commute from Naples to Miami every day....on US-41 right now headed home.; 9:26 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: unlimited free booze makes great stories...thank goodness those days have dramatically decreased over the past decade. I want to pass those things down to the jhags of the world. Last thing I want is to be 40 and people consider me dangerous.; 9:31 PM
Wakeriderof87 said...: Yeah it was a delightful process. My appointment was at 12, I was called up at 3:30. Then find out they want me to drive back on tuesday... not hardly. They are fedexing it to me.

Naples to Miami daily sounds delightful.; 9:32 PM
wtc said...: THT-I have a droid, but it is the one made by HTC. I like it a lot. I was with Altell and just switched from a Razor phone to this droid. The other droid phone was a bit too clunky for me but my friend has one and lieks it. They are both fast.
I just read today that ATT is going to start limiting iphone users to certian time amounts on their data plan..Their are so many users tht they have choked down their network.; 10:07 PM
Jet said...: It's counter-intuitive for a coach, but when you are down 1 with no timeouts with 2:30 to go and your opponent gets a fourth-down conversion deep in your territory. It's time to flop and let them score.; 10:45 PM
Jet said...: Droid owners are known to follow recruiting.; 10:46 PM
Jet said...: I'm appointing me, DMiller, and a person to be named later to be the hoops coach search committee.; 10:47 PM
Unknown said...: I have heard about the AT&T problems with their network too. What I heard was that AT&T are going to give incentives for people not to use the data features so much. I would go with a droid. It is linux based and open. I think it has a much better chance of competing with the iPhone than the Palm Pre. A linux based phone will likely have more apps.; 11:04 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: ummmm, android and palm webOS are running on a near identical Linux kernel...many or the upgrades in android 2.0 can be traced back to similar aspects of webOS. the commercials may be better for the droid, but I'm not gonna go out and say it's that much different than the Pre, much less way better...plus,the dev suite can be accessed by typing the konomi code(updownupdownleftrighleftright...) from the launch screen on the Pre, which is a badass reminder of my generation's childhood...knowledge is power!; 11:37 PM
FSJ said...: AT&T is having terrible problems with their network particularly in areas that don't have 3G. The iPhone is essentially unusable in those areas for data.

I've read good things about the droid. I don't think I'd like the motorola one on Verizon. It looks too clunky. I'd probably go with the one that wtc has.

I'm switch phones so often I've tested just about all of them at some point. The Pre was interesting but build quality was a problem.; 11:44 PM
FSJ said...: One other thing...Verizon will soon have the same problems with network capacity once they get the iphone.

It's by far the best internet experience you can find on a phone when the network can keep up. But it does put a tremendous strain on network capacity.; 11:49 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: one triumph of the Pre (for another month whenit's in wide release) is that it's on the only national 4G network (good luck finding Sprint's 4G towers, but when you do, it's blazing!).; 11:53 PM
FSJ said...: lol...good point Peter.

I loved the Palm Web OS with the cards and multitasking.

If you could put that OS on a phone with the build quality of say the iPhone you'd have a grand slam winner, IMO.; 11:55 PM
FSJ said...: It's no wonder the Palm Web OS is as slick as it is..

The CEO of Palm is a former executive at Apple.; 11:56 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: the construction of the Pre is a little questionable, huh, FSJ. Sharp edges, sunken keyboard (love the size and location, keys are just sunken in and hard to hit), cheap feel. Pixi is way better, but it's got a smaller screen. They did, at least, put a really good multi-touch display in it. was shocked at the picture....

I still refuse to use a phone without a qwerty. tried the iphone and hated that part.; 11:59 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: the whole palm dev team at Palm is from Apple, with a couple of old IBM dudes thrown in....Palm was so close before they ditched Linux on PalmOS. If this team had been around then, there'd be no other name in handheld electronics. better for us they weren't though, because so many names (HTC,Google, Microsoft,Apple, Palm...) makes for good competition and continual quick improvement.; 12:04 AM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: The Interstate is empty. I left Miami at 9, got home, took a shower, grabbed the girl and the furry child, and may actually make it to Jacksonville before 4. Awesome.; 12:07 AM
