My prediction is that Steve Jobs will introduce this at the WWDC as the new iPhone! HA!

oh joy!! possible new palm pre goodies on my birthday  oh and regardless of what mossberg says, i'm listening to the stuff that comes straight from palm. there is one thing that makes me "iffy" about these new unspeculated features though. if there are a few more things that we don't know, then wouldn't they be listed in all of the leaked documentation and users guides that has been hitting the web lately?? hmmmm...

True, but they could have a special set of beta testers that are more trusted to keep a secret.

I predict Google Voice will come out of beta and the Pre will have built-in support for the service.... which I would LOVE to see.

Since apple will probably spark some renewed interest in video recording in 3.0, it wouldn't be a bad idea.

How about handheld microwave, taser, and pocket knife features? lol I mean seriously; if we haven't discussed it, it's not something we want.

It can't be a taser. I already speculated on that.

Maybe they'll take my idea. I emailed them and told them to get Netflix to make an app for it supporting Streaming movies.

There was a video with Peter Skillman at CES presenting the Pre, in which he mentioned that he could use the USB connector to, among other things, "sync with iTunes," though he didn't elaborate. Several videos show the Pre's native music player.

D7 Announcement
What do you guys think Palm will announce at D7 today? I can't really think of anything really big other than Flash support, but they said that it won't be available at launch. Or they might release some new apps. What do you guys think?

Someone mentioned it's not something that's been speculated on. Rules out flash probably.

Assuming that the user guides are final, there dosent seem to be any way that any huge new features can be announced. The manual says no flash, no sd card, dosent mention voice dialing, no mention of any bluetooth functionality other than audio (no OBEX, keyboard etc.). I hope the manual is incomplete or there is no way a significant new feature would be included but undocumented.

The manual is at least as easy to update as the software on the phone. What makes you think the final version is what got leaked? Given that it's a soft copy and not a printed manual, and there are a few inconsistencies that we've found, I bet this gets changed right along with a software update.

To narrow things down I think that whatever their 'supprise' is, it:
-Cant have to do with radios, as the FCC would have spilled the beans.
-Probably wont effect any area Sprint's leaked training materials have already covered. No company would waste both the money and the training time of their employees on information that was about to change.
Thus I think that any 'new' feature will be in an area not yet covered by the training materials or an extension of a covered feature that doesnt change its essential function.
Perhaps some kind of slick, location aware profile app or partnership with a streaming media provider.
