The Palm Pre has finally surfaced, and so far most of the reviews are glowing -- some even gushing.
Here’s a look at what some are saying about the Pre:
- Palm’s New Pre Takes On iPhone All Things D
- Palm Pre Review Gizmodo
- Palm Pre review Engadget
- Palm Pre, Elegant Contender New York Times
In our initial hands-on look at the Pre, we found the keyboard to be a very welcome addition (even if moderately crowded for an average-size woman’s fingers), the interface smart and Web surfing swift. A cursory test of calling up a website found that Pre loaded the Los Angeles Times website faster than the iPhone.
The platform-agnostic messaging is quite impressive. No app switching required when a friend moves from instant messaging to texts. The conversation keeps going, uninterrupted.
Of course, Palm has a huge mountain to scale in taking on Apple Inc.’s much-adored iPhone. Even at Wednesday night’s geek-meets-chic launch party for the Pre at Raleigh Studios in Hollywood, there was a preponderance of iPhones in the crowd.
On Friday morning, be sure to join us online -- on this blog and on Twitter -- as we put this device through its paces. Tell us what you’re most interested in knowing as we walk through the device.
