The Palm Pre: The Latest Advancement In Smartphone Technology.
There have been many phones that have gone up against the iPhone. The iPhone was so revolutionary that it has been hard to top ever since its release. That is until now. The newest addition to the smartphone family might just be able to dethrone the iPhone. The Palm Pre has just been released and has been labeled as the iPhone Killer ever since it was announced. With its advancements it might not be the iPhone killer but this new smartphone is a welcome addition, and just might sway a few customers away from the iPhone.
The Palm Pre features a very unique and simple design. The exterior of the device doesn’t have many buttons which is a welcome design feature. Many smartphones feature a multitude of buttons running along the side of their devices, this makes them hard to use. Another notable difference between the Palm Pre and all other phones is that the Palm Pres outer casing is actually made out of plastic. Many consumers fear the phones will be more prone to damage but the plastic is extremely durable. Also it doesn’t feel any weaker than any other phone. Despite having a smaller screen than the iPhone the Palm Pre actually displays a sharper and better looking image. An unfortunate design flaw on the Palm Pre is the full QWERTY keyboard. The keyboard is rather small and those with big fingers will have trouble typing on it. It is a little counter intuitive and may take a while to get used to.
One capability the Palm Pre is unparalleled in is its ability to multitask. One other smartphones you are only able to have one app operating at a time. Meaning if you want to start another app you’ll have to completely close the one you are currently in and open another. But on the Palm Pre you are able to toggle between numerous amounts of apps. The operating system works so well you’ll never experience any lags while using various apps at once. Also receiving calls will not interrupt the app you are currently in. You will be discreetly alerted to all calls and can either answer it or ignore it without having to quit your app.
The Palm Pre offers some of the best Wi-Fi and 3G service any phone has to offer. Website load times are not even an issue and there is no lag when streaming video or audio. There have been many complaints about the iPhones 3G network but on the Palm Pre you’ll never run into and reception problems and you will never drop a call.
The Palm Pre is a great phone, but isn’t necessarily the iPhone killer it was billed as. It does offer some great advancements that the iPhone simply cant match. It also offers a great choice for anyone in the market for a smartphone.
