Archie - Push IMAP has been available for many years (in Chatter alone for 3 1/2 years). There's no such thing as a trademark for "Push IMAP".

one thing my friends/enemies: i do like where Archie is coming from in that some of it feels like a breath of fresh air, not so Treo-centric. i also agree with him in that so many in this place only want to hear the positive and will defend themselves and the Treo brand til the end.
3rd party support: a thing of the ages
flash and glamour: yes, product design means a ton. has anyone ever wondered why they buy/don't buy certain clothes, cars and the like?
the treos out of the box (with the exception of the raised keyboard) will do not much more than the i-phone. why? because given the osx platform available to them and the like, they'd be crazy not to include the more popular pda feature set. they will have what it takes to develop a solid and well thought out device.
apple is thinking in the right way. palm is not.

On another note, I think the Palm Treo 950 running ALP offers the best browsing experience ever.
5. 5 hours of battery life for talk/video/bwrowsing; 16 hours for audio playback. Note that this is with wi-fi and bluetooth going at the same time. This is unbelievable performance.
To this end, they also enlarge the keys as our finger approaches the screen (not yet touching) so that our brain can have some verification.
Wait, how is this possible? You seem to imply that there's a camera or other sensor that senses when your finger is above a key and enlarges it. I find that hard to believe.

In the keynote Jobs said that there is a sensor in it, taht will recognize when you put it up to your face to make phone calls, it turns the screen of to save power.
That's a very subjective statement. I'd say that Apple is thinking in the way that is right for them, at the moment.
You heard it here first!

According to Apple's patent documentation, it is documented as using one or more OR all of the techniques below. It is kind of vague and from what I had read I do not know how to determine how many of the techniques where actually used (although you can probably rule out the ultrasonic proximity detection). My best guess, as to how they accomplished what I mention in this thread, is that they used a capacitive proximity detection system.Wait, how is this possible?

Are you implying I'm not impressed or that I didn't watch the grandstanding for an hour? It took a long time to fully download that NY Times page on Wifi.
