msmobiles ran a story over the weekend accusing Palm of lying in its recent Palm Pre adverts, namely about the multi-tasking ability. I thought the article was a bit protective of Windows Mobile until I saw the ad myself on Sunday. It is highly suggestive that the Pre is the only phone that can do multi-tasking and I think there is reason to be annoyed about it. Have you seen the advert yet and what do you think?
“On photo above you can see a snapshot from a TV commercial that Palm is running now in UK. In this commercial Palm claims that Palm Pre is the only phone with multi-tasking – “multiple applications at the same time”. Obviously it is a lie, as also Windows Mobile powered smartphones support multi-tasking and ability to run multiple apps at the same time. While Palm wants to differentiate itself from iPhone that cannot run “multiple applications at the same time”, it misses the fact that Windows Mobile can do it.”
