    Palm Pre

    This thing's making crazy waves at CES right now and despite still awaiting an official release mid-year, its already boosting Palm's stock which jumped 35% since its value yesterday.

    Palm is the best small phone for minimalists, athletes, and families. Your entire digital life now fits in a coin pocket. Perfect for taking a break from your big phone.

    Re: Palm Pre

    Wow, that's fucking impressive. From the sounds of the features list, they really put a lot of thought into the UI. That Synergy feature, combined chat, universal search sounds like it will hit the spot for a lot of mobile net users. The tilted screen/keyboard is a nice subtle touch. This might just be the proverbial adrenal shot in the arm for Palm. But closed system? No apps? This is positioned against Blackberry?

    I got pics and video. But I will upload them in the morning. I need to smoke this nice phat joint and just close my eyes and replay the amazingness in my head.

        Re: Palm Pre

        That would be my assumption but if it has no apps, it can never go up against the iPhone or even Android; so I figured it is mainly going up against Blackberry, especially with the keyboard.

          Palme Pre at CES


          You think I might suck up the design by osmosis?

          You might.



          SQL Lite under the hood, developers have access to data, looks like it's open to 3rd party apps.

          7 features the Palm Pre > iPhone

              from the boingboing.net hands on review:

              There will be an official app store, but you can still load other apps. Probably. Palm isn't quite sure how syncing with a PC will work, but it sounds like you'll be able to load apps from a variety of sources as well as buying them over-the-air from the Palm application store.

                Re: Palm Pre

                When Palm launched its Pre at CES, we were both blown away and pretty overwhelmed. Besides issuing new hardware, the company also demoed a completely original operating system called webOS which incorporates some pretty heady ideas about what a mobile phone can do. Now that we've had a little time to step back, we're taking a more methodic look at the device and its software, and hoping to answer some of those nagging questions you've been asking. Read on for a look at everything we know about the phone right now.Note: This post originally went up just a few days after the Pre had been announced. We've gotten answers to some lingering questions we had, and have updated parts of the article with additional information. %Gallery-41175%

                        Re: Palm Pre

                        Cost, release date, developer support

                        Right now there's a ton of speculation on the price of the phone, with numbers ranging from $399 for an unlocked handset, to $149 under contract. When we spoke to both Sprint and Palm reps, they assured us that the price would be "competitive," and we don't expect anything less. The companies would have to be utterly clueless to price the Pre at anything more than the subsidized iPhone 3G -- more likely, you'll see Palm and Sprint try to drum up a stampede with prices closer to Centro numbers. That $149 sounds totally possible, but we don't expect anything more than $199 under contract to start. Still, this is speculation, so don't break any banks open till we hear the official word.
