Palm Shows New Life With 'Pre' Smartphone
We'll be honest: We weren't expecting much from Palm this year. The company has been struggling of late to establish its identity in a sea of comprehensive handsets from the likes of HTC and, of course, Apple. But, establishing a corporate identity is exactly what the Palm folks have done with the Pre, suddenly going from has-been to hot. The phone isn't exactly revolutionary with its vertical slider layout, which hides a QWERTY keypad, or the functionality provided by its multi-touch screen, but, from the time we spent with it today, we're in love.
The device is incredibly polished and everything from syncing contacts with Gmail to updating your Facebook status is perfectly integrated. The form-factor is simple and intuitive, and everything just feels "right." Check out Engadget's gallery of pictures and hands-on video to get an idea for why we're getting excited. Stay tuned for more information leading up to the device's release on Sprint sometime this year. [From: Engadget]

Palm just don't get it. People with smart phone usually use it for more than just a phone. Even BB has to evolve to produce it's own version of iPhone. Plam already had those Palm T3, but just too stupid to realize that all they need is slightly redesign the circuit board make it into a communication device with new set of faster newer generation chipsets. On top of new OS will become a hot cake. Hell with theose keyboards. I would say fire all those CEO and non productive tech person in Palm replace it with newer generation kids to revitalize Palm inside out.

It appears you not only lack the ability to write in English, but also the ability to read English.
What about this phone and operating system make you think Palm, "don't get it?" The form factor is a smidgen thicker than ideal, but the hardware the Pre contains well justifies this trait. WebOS has just as much promise as Apple's iPhone operating system, even if it doesn't have the potential of Android.
