The thing that brings Pre to light is the user interface and OS. It’s beautiful and smooth. The multitasking has become easy by the use of smart phone with the Deck of Cards feature that lets us scroll through various applications and toggle between them without having to open and close windows. Synergy is a huge player, as it brings all our e-mail accounts and contact and calendar information from various sources into one place.
It has got a multitouch screen that’s absolutely sharp and brilliant in color with its half-VGA (320×480) resolution. There’s a gesture area right below the display where we can use finger swipes and touches to launch menus, toolbars, applications, go back, or advance. Of course, favorite part might be the slide-out full QWERTY keyboard.
Like the iphone it is easy to zoom in and out of pages. The Pre’s browser is pretty outstanding. It renders sites onscreen as we would see on our desktop, and quickly at that. We do know that there will be an app store, and Palm will release an SDK to developers. The Palm Web OS was built with developers in mind and based on HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
The Palm Pre offers a 3-megapixel camera. In terms of music, like the T-Mobile G1, Palm has partnered with the Amazon Music Store, so you will be able to purchase songs over the air from your Pre.
The Pre offers integrated Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 2.1 (with support for stereo Bluetooth), EV-DO Rev. A, and GPS. There’s 8GB of storage, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and high-speed USB 2.0.
The Palm Pre and Palm Web OS bring a fresh look into the way we interact with a device and how it organizes information. It also brings modernization and life back to the struggling company and has certainly set the tech world abuzz.
As much as the Pre is important to Palm, the smart phone will also be a key player for Sprint. It needs an iconic phone to compete with the like’s AT&T and the iPhone and Verizon Wireless and the BlackBerry Storm, and Pre could certainly be the one to do this for Sprint. The Pre will be priced competitively with the iPhone and Storm. The Palm Pre could truly be the stiffest competition for the iPhone
