Seriously...
Fuck Apple.
More to the point, fuck the developer for bending over for them.

Do it online
I logged into my online account, waited a couple of mins for the "A live operator is waiting to help" box to appear and then explained to him why I wasn't going to provide my credit card details to pay for services that I have already been credit checked for, nor was I about to take time out of my day to visit one of their stores (there's one less than a 10 minute walk away, but that's not the point...)
Within 5 minutes, the block was lifted.
Fuck them, I'll leaving just as soon as I contract is up for renewal (unless I could claim this as a change to my contract, and get out sooner?)

Reliable?
I loved my original Pre, and still think the OS is one of the best on the market for any mobile device.
However, the reliability of the original hardware was shocking (seriously, search for "pre oreo twist" or "pre headset stuck"), and I eventually had to call it quits and buy a new phone as the earphone speaker worked for all sounds, except when on a call, when it would shut off.
I've moved onto a Desire Z and, unless the reliability of the Pre improves massivley with the Pre 2, I won't be going back.
That said, I would love a tablet with WebOS on it...

@mittfh
"surely machines have a fixed jackpot, which remains the same regardless of how many times its claimed?"
A lot of machines over there have an ever increasing jackpot, with the value based on the total amount of money wagered between big wins (some jackpots are linked up to a single board displaying the total amount, even though there may be 20+ individual machines all linked up and contributing towards it)
A huge win would cause this figure to go back to a predetermined starting value.

Oh yes.
"Fingers crossed the HP tablet turns out to be fantastic."
If they fully develop and use the already excellent WebOS, then I can't see it being anything fantastic (hopefully leave it easy to get to dev mode too, like it is on the Pre)
Oh, and pull their collective fingers out and give us the long awaited Flash plugin too.
