The line outside the Sprint store is starting to grow. With reported short supply of the Pre, I'm glad I got here early to ensure I get mine today.
30 minutes until the Pre goes live.

The first Sprint employees just drove by and stopped to chat for a minute.
It's official, we all agree, I'm crazy! Crazy about the Palm Pre! What did you expect from a Smartphone Fanatic!
45 minutes until the Pre goes live.

There is just one more hour until the Palm Pre goes on sale for Sprint!
While we wait, Reggie from 1SRC.com, just emailed me that the PreSwither website has gone live! Check it out at:

Today is shaping up to be agreat day! The sun is shining, the sky is blue, birds are singing, and the morning air is cool!
What a great day to buy a Pre! If you read the article in Forbes about how the Palm team designed the Pre, it is all about mornings like this one.

I’m on site at the Sprint store and I’m first in line. Since I’m a mobile gadget fanatic, that is a good thing.

I just checked the weather (on my iPod touch) to make sure that all the rain that was falling all day and night yesterday has moved out of the area. It has, and that is great news because I was not looking forward to being cold and wet this morning. It’s 57-degrees under partly cloudy skies, but I can see some nice blue streaks in the sky as dawn is breaking in Connecticut.
MSMBC.com is running a store about a customer turning a Sprint store front into a drive through.
“An elderly woman apparently couldn’t wait to get her Palm Pre from a Calumet Park cell phone store. She only suffered a few scratches, but the store didn’t fare so well.”
The short article does not say if the woman intended to drive into the store front or not. My guess is not, but hey, with all the love Nintendo is giving elderly folks with the Wii gaming system, you never know.
Check out the MSNBC.com story for the full article and video.
I just checked the MotionApps website and Classic, the Palm OS 5 emulator for Palm webOS, is now available for sale.
As I understand it, a demo version of Classic, which is good for 7 days, comes bundled on the device. To activate it, to plug-in your Classic serial number at the MotionApps website when you order the software to unlock the full version.
I suspect that Classic will be my first purchased third-party Palm webOS application.
Learn all about Classic over at the MotionApps website.
UPDATE:
Here is a simple diagram of what is going on inside your Pre when you are running a Palm OS application in emulation mode in Classic.
It’s just after 4am here on the East Coast and I’m up getting ready to get my Palm Pre. Things on my checklist include:
I can’t believe that I’m up this early on a Saturday morning for a phone! This is nuts! I guess that’s why I’m a Smartphone Fanatic!
