Palm Pre

By Ray Aguilera (maclife.com)

We have a confession to make: There are a few Palm fans among us. Backin the day, you would have had to pry the grayscale Palm IIIx out ofour cold, dead, extremely well-organized hands. But Palm lost itsway--and we went back to our paper calendar for ...

Slide-out keyboard. Apps can run in the background. Sleek design

No direct Mac syncing. iTunes sync is a cat-and-mouse game with Apple. Unintuitive UI. Keyboard layout can be confusing. Keys are teeny-tiny. Pre's App Catalog is sparse

Background apps are awesome, and (apparently) some users are still married to a physical keyboard. But for most Mac users, the Palm Pre doesn't stack up, leaving the smartphone score at Apple: 3, iPhone killers: 0.

WebOS, contacts and calendar synch, user interface.

All glossy finish requires a skin. No cursor control/nav button.

Synergy is awesome! Multitasking capability is unmatched. Voice quality is good. Picture quality is amaizing ;

Battery life limits the enjoyment of this phone (Sediio extended battery life is a must. It should come with the phone.) Apps are slow to arrive. The buffering is slow and choppy but youtube works surprinsingly better than Iphone. Need a doc editor ;
