Palm Synergy: nothing more than a few photos?

David has also come up with some thoughts about Palm Synergy- “I’ve been using a Palm Pre for a few weeks now and I’ve just realised something. When webOS was announced with great fanfare last year, much was made of Synergy and that the Pre was the first phone that thought for you: “anticipated your needs” I believe the phrase was. Well I have to disagree. Sure it pulls in contacts from Google and Facebook, but where is the cleverness? Where’s the ability to pick a contact and suggest the best way of contacting them based on location and online status? Where’s the location awareness in the calendar app that warns me I have an appointment in Slough and I’m nowhere near the place? Where’s the ability to mute the phone when I’m in a meeting, or automatically text a reply when I’m driving? Palm had a brilliant opportunity to do something truly revolutionary but all they seem to have done is make all my contacts pictures come from Facebook!“
