[ale] Palm Pre

[ale at cogginsnet.com (Robert Coggins)]

I haven't rooted my Pre yet, but everything else is fantastic on the 
device.  Everything is reasonably quick and smooth.  The contact 
organization is fantastic.

I haven't rooted my Pre yet, but my buddy has.  He installed ssh on it 
and now uses ssh tunneling through bluetooth to have his laptop on the 
net through the phone.
