It invloves Nintendo Contra . This Pre platform is really cool. Wish I had one now. __________________ Dennis -==- Philly

I have root access on my Pre and got the ability to add new pages on the launcher working. Looks like some exciting hacking is ahead. __________________ -Cameron

If you know Contra cheat codes, I suggest you look into the Pre further. Looks like the Pre guys have a good sense of humor and a desire to make this device work for the masses.

LupeValenz (^_^)/ Hi Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: NM Posts: 2,937	Lol I still have that contra code memorized. Thats awesome to see it in there, though I'm not going into the hack yet. Nice modifications though with the more pages and call timer in the call log. I just want me a nice money managment app, splash money or give me docs 2 go and I'll use excel. I don't want to carry my ipod just to keep track of my money. __________________ Sony NX-Sony NZ-Sony UX-Sony TH55-Treo 650- Treo 755P-iPod Touch->Palm Pre

I mean, you are paying for the data usage already. What does it matter if that same throughput is coming in and going out of the phone or your netbook? They are still getting their money for their legitimate data usage. It's all about money, isn't it...? {sigh}

philpalm Registered User Join Date: Nov 2005 Location: Alhambra Posts: 1,196	Telecoms conflicting interests Think about it, since ATT offers DSL they would rather you get that than to tether your computer to a handheld. Their ideal customer would be the occassional e-mail user... __________________ Th-55 U, T/X, TG-50, Handspring Deluxe (3) and PSP user.

But if I am at a hotel or traveling or in a park... I would like to connect anywhere/anytime though it may not be as fast as being at home on my FIOS. I don't think there is necessarily a conflict, IMHO.
