As expected, Psystar today responded to Apple’s allegations that it hasn’t been forthcoming in handing over pertinent financial information.

A forum member over at EverythingPre was able to get his hands on a Palm Pre through a buddy of his who received a review unit. While clearly not a substitute for an in-depth review, it seems that the Pre is a worthy effort, but won’t be challenging the iPhone anytime soon. Here are his […]
