The wonderful world of Pre

I got myself new smart phone - Palm Pre. It is one sweet little toy, and I'm having lots of fun with it. I have waited over a week since the grand premiere to buy it, and it was good decision: my phone arrived with the second version of the operating system, smoothing out some initial wrinkles. Within a week since purchase there was another system update and now I report no major issues.
I definitely love the screen, the shape and the size. I got used to the keyboard - it is small, but beats on-screen emulations any time. Web browser is much better than any one I have seen on other phones. Sprint-delivered video sucks as usual, but YouTube application delivers movies of surprising quality. And having WiFi support in the phone is great!

Long, Long Travel

Oh, boy! It took me so long to regain balance after my return trip from Warsaw to Las Vegas.
I'm not complaining about the airplanes: especially Air France Boeing 777 was luxuriously equipped in business class and food was delicious. It is the sheer length of the trip and time zone change that kills you. It was really smart idea to travel on Friday: I was only half-conscious during the weekend, but managed somehow to get to the office on Monday.
Additional piece of good news: my luggage got to Las Vegas with me without any 'accidents'...
