Palm Pre Review Roundup
Boing Boing Gadgets —
... Topolsky, at Engadget:
To put it simply, the Pre is a great phone, and we don't feel any hesitation saying that. Is it a perfect phone? Hell no. Does its OS need work? Definitely. But are any of the detracting factors here big enough to not recommend it? Absolutely not. There's no doubt that there's room for improvement in webOS and its devices, but there's also an astounding amount of things that Palm nails out of the gate.

The software is agile, smart and capable. The hardware, on the other ...

Palm Pre Review Round-up
I4U News —
... weeks ago discussions appeared that Palm is slow in supporting Palm OS developers. In a story on BusinessWeek , well known open source figure William Hurley draws a very bleak picture of Palm's developer support and lack of apps for it. Another main issue is that the Palm Pre is bound to Sprint. When we reported that Verizon Wireless would get the Pre, the story triggered huge interest. If you want the Pre you need to give Sprint a chance. Palm Pre Reviews: Engadget Gizmodo WSJ NY Times USA Today PC World Posted on Thu, 4 Jun 2009 ...
Palm Pre Reviews are in: Looks Like a Stellar 1.0

PreCentral
So what’s our verdict on the Palm Pre? Simple: The Palm Pre is a stellar 1.0 product. Given Palm’s fractured and foible-filled history, the fact that they were able to pull all this off is nothing short of amazing.
Palm has hit a home run with the Pre. Probably not a grand slam, but a definite home run.

Too bad, as with the iPhone, there’s no video camera.
Pre poses no immediate challenge to the iPhone when it comes to robust apps. Only a dozen or so are available at launch, including Pandora Internet radio, Citysearch, The New York Times and Classic, an emulator that lets you run old Palm (Treo) programs.

... the hearts of many:
“Despite some missing features and performance issues that make it less than ideal for on-the-go professionals, the Palm Pre offers gadget lovers and consumers well-integrated features and unparalled multitasking capabilities. The hardware could be better, but more importantly, Palm has developed a solid OS that not only rivals the competition but also sets a new standard in the way smartphones handle tasks and manage information.”

Dumb Cellphones Must Die [Rant]

... business—how could they introduce a phone? The market thought otherwise and the iPhone stole the show. People saw simplicity wrapped in good design, and even though not everybody bought it, everybody realized all of a sudden that cellphones don't have to be clunky machines full of buttons and neverending arbitrary menus. The iPhone redefined the game and people instinctively knew that, and the smartest companies followed suit. Next came Android and Palm Pre and the not-yet-released Windows Mobile 7, versions of the same basic idea: ...

Talk about convergence - Palm Pre as cheese knife!
IntoMobile - Cell Phone News, Information, and Analysis —
... WebOS interface, the Palm Pre apparently does a great job of slicing cheese!
The Palm Pre’s keyboard slide out to reveal a set of chiclet-esque keys with a sharp “lip” towards the bottom. It’s this “lip” that apparently cuts cheese like no other smartphone in the world! This isn’t exactly what comes to mind when we talk about mobile “convergence.”
