You knew it was on deck, and at long last, here it is. Your one and only shot (okay, so maybe that’s a gentle stretch) to tell the world — and Palm, since it’s a part of the world — exactly what you think about the Pre. Since going on sale to the general public just under a month ago, some analysts have suggested that some 300,000 or so units have been moved. We’re quite confident that at least some of that bunch have their eyes peering at this here post, so we’d like to formally ask for your opinions in comments below. Is there anything you’d like to see changed on Palm’s Pre? Is the build quality up to snuff? Is webOS everything you thought it’d be (and more)? Is the QWERTY keyboard doing it for you? Do you wish it supported something that it doesn’t? Unleash your wrath below — we’ll keep your true identity a secret. Maybe.

You might have seen solar-powered planes before, but few of them come with as much world-changing ambition as the Solar Impulse. Launched in 2003, the project aims to demonstrate the viability of renewable energy sources by being the first to perform a manned flight around the globe using only solar power. The technology is nothing to scoff at, as the 200-foot wingspan features 12,000 photovoltaic solar cells bringing power to four electric motors. Captain Bertrand Piccard, one of the key men behind this project, is best known as one half of the first team to circumnavigate the world in a balloon in 1999. He hopes, together with partner André Borschberg, to repeat that achievement in Solar Impulse’s next iteration, the HB-SIB, in 2012. Make it so, guys.
