Palm Pre

Despite some costly errors in their past which led to them losing a large portion of market share, Palm and their fabled lines of PDAs are back for another run at it. While the term “iPhone” killer has been thrown around quiet liberally, the Palm Pre seems to have carried the momentum with this statement beyond the initial CES hype. Some of the phone’s design elements that will hopefully enable it to trump the mighty iPhone include a physical slide-out QWERTY keyboard, strong multi-tasking interface as well as strong interconnectability with existing online programs. Of course with things like these, everybody should wait until after the release date to see how things go.

    It’ll be exclusive to sprint and looks like a bom phone.

    Check out engadget [http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/13/palm-pre-everything-you-ever-wanted-to-know/#continued] for any info and some iphone comparisons.

    The specs are all out and some hands-on reviews from CES on engadget. Apparently the interface is more intuitive, touchscreen responds and changes to landscape faster, it’s way easier to search things (you can just type on the keyboard anywhere and it knows u want to search something so it pops up three options asking if u want to search google, wikipedia etc).

    I’m more interested to see final reviews of the OS and a comparison to upcoming android devices.

    If there ever was an “iphone killer” this’ll come the closest out all the phones released in the last 2 years.

    This phone looks cool. But wont be a iPhone killer. I have a BB Curve so Im not a activist for iPhones (at all). I just know that nothing can really compare to the iPhone, ever. Haha… the BB Storm is the best bet at “killer” yet. G’luck Palm
