New Palm Devices, WebOS Version Soon

I love my palm pre!

I couldn't care less about the phones...where the heck is Palm on the e-reader market? A palm OS-based ereader, capable of running some decent organizer software (most of the phones, including iPhone's organizer utilities pale in comparison of what Palm had 10 years ago even!), colour, 6" screen and support for things it already knows how to read like DOC,TXT, etc. They have the software already done, just needs to be tweaked. And they could get it down to a decent cost. Toss in a simple keyboard and some of the Palm Pre stuff for those of us who ALREADY HAVE A PHONE, thank you very much, and they could scoop a huge market niche of those who hate apple and the business people who want something a bit larger than a phone for using around the office.

Responding to discussion comment; It has been over a year since anything new has come from Palm and in the smart phone industry a year off makes any road map look more like road kill. You obviously haven't tried the Palm Pre Plus from Verizon along with the competing phones in the market today, yes today June 18th, 2010. Meaning no harm but your comment is ignorant and unfounded. You have been suckered by the advertising of the DROIDS. THEY are in some ways good but they don't compete overall with the PALM PRE PLUS! "THE PROOF IS IN THE PUDDING" "Swallow your pride and please try a PALM PRE PLUS"

I have personally first changed to the Motorola DROID in December and found it to be just like a robot or Droid. It was big yes, but also very robotic interface and lost the easy of use I would have expected when Motorola and all other companies intentions are to compete with the iPhone. Maneuvering the apps and trying to type had delays that were irritating. I then sold that one after a month of frustrating use and bought the HTC DROID. This phone was so much better and the interface and OS design was much more user friendly and smoother reaction to my typing and general use but I was still frustrated just going from my ipod touch to this DROID. It did not even come close o the brilliance of OS design, smoothness of the apps and overall reaction speed of the itouch(Apologize; Verizon Customer). Of course next I sold this and bought the PALM PRE PLUS. This PAlm Pre Plus is shear magic, fast OS, smooth, intelligent, inventive and just pure fun with easy of usage in every way. It also had this incredible camera where the quality absolutely competed with our high end Digital SLR's used with being a graphic designer. The keyboard was easy to open up and solid to use. The little wand controller was truly amazing to work with and it almost had the screen size of the, crappy DROIDS. Being a guy, I could easily have it in my pocket and excuse me, whip it out whenever needed. Its light, fast, quick and actually going back to the itouch is irritating now. The NEW PALM OS in this PALM PRE PLUS with Verizon absolutely competes with iPhone. The only thing the iPHone has is of course many more apps, that is it. I cannot think of an issue or complaint I would have with the PALM PRE PLUS. If PALM brings out anything in the near future, I am in, FULLY IN! The only reason the DROIDS are doing well is because Motorola and HTC spent all their Development money on Marketing and advertising and not the product itself. I challenge anyone to exchange phones between these 3 phones, if you happen to have friends with all 3 of them and after just very few minutes, you will understand! PALM the quiet Giant! What next PALM?
