engadget has written up a very long and detailed review of the Palm Pre and they like what they see. Even I, who was floudering a little on the benefits of the Pre, am thinking again about this one.
They conclude the lengthy review with the following statement- “Ultimately — carriers and developers notwithstanding — what Palm has done is not only a major feat for a company of its size (and its dire position), and we think it’s an important step in the evolution of mobile computing. Just like the iPhone’s notches up the ladder, and the G1′s contributions, the Pre moves the game forward in a very real way. We know this won’t be the last of the webOS devices, and we know that as Palm improves its products, so will Apple, RIM, Microsoft, Google, and the rest of the smartphone gang. Unfortunately for them, their work just got a little bit tougher.”
Palm Pre is a trending topic on twitter right now, and most of the comments seem favourable. Want one!
