Palm Pre review: AP thinks it beats the iPhone (msn.com)

Competition is a good thing. This will ensure that Apple/RIM/etc... stays on their toes and vice versa. Hopefully in the end us consumers will benefit.


It's nice to finally have some hands-on reviews, but the press has been effusive in their coverage of the Pre since it was first announced in a Palm slideshow. I'm eager to hear some user (particularly iPhone and G1 user) testimonials -- especially once they realize the Pre is incapable on an API level of reproducing their favorite apps.


imo the app store is a great differentiator for the iPhone. This will make it very difficult for other phones to beat it (at least in the near-term)


I agree with this. The iPod was a nice mp3 player, but its domination is due to the iTunes/iPod combo. I think the Appstore is going to do the same thing for the iPhone.

Either way I'm loving the press the Pre has been getting. Competition means better products for us all.
