Palm Pre review

"But with an identical pricing structure to the iPhone 3GS, it needs to be better than its opponent"

Er why? Surely, at the same price, it only has to be as good?

If it was more expensive it would have to be better.

@Jonathan Bray: Nice article, incredible that the competition is still finding it hard to complete a package to rival the iPhone. Have to say I'm not even slightly interested in it combining all my calanders in one place, surely anyone who needs to do that can just have them all on their phone in the first place. 8gb is small, and no video capture? :

Piece of mind for me as a 3GS owner ;)

blackberry multi-task

er, the blackberry has application switching functionality and you can change one of the buttons to show the open applications.

you can easily play music, surf the web and check your email by cycling through the applications. i know i do.

If I remember rightly Apple didn't get it right first time round either. What was it - no 3G - I can't remember. The Apple device is a whizz today no doubt - but don't knock the pre just yet. The iPhone has had two years to get to where it is today. Version 2 of the Palm pre will knock the socks clear off any later version of the iPhone - lets hope :)

Shame

I backed Palm for years as the best bet for smartphones... sadly they never quite cracked the usability issue
