Palm Pre: everything you ever wanted to know

[Joel]

When Palm launched its Pre last week 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.

Thanks for sharing. That was a VERY insightful article and I just can't wait to read the in-depth reviews that will be coming out on this device in the future.

This is the FIRST Palm device I have been excited about in years. I was excited about the LifeDrive, but that faded fairly quickly with poor performance and lack of a follow-up device on Palm's part. My TH55 doesn't count, as that was Sony and it implemented many cool things ahead of its time as well.

I'm cautiously optimistic about the Pre, but as the heavy-duty user of a T|X with a 16GB SDHC card and an external Bluetooth keyboard, I'm not likely to jump into actually purchasing a Pre (assuming, of course, my T|X doesn't die on me) until and unless it offers at least as robust a software environment, and at least as much total storage (internal + external), as does my T|X. Either that, or until Palm releases the *next* WebOS unit that *does* have those things. {ProfJonathan}
