The Palm Pre: Your Thoughts
Friday, May 29, 2009 at 8:00AM
At the D: All Things Digital conference (a conference which always seems to spend an inordinate amount of time talking about old media) more details of the Palm Pre were announced. Most tantalizingly, the Pre will sync your music through iTunes. Well done, Mr. Rubinstein! In one fell swoop, Palm avoided one of the biggest hurdles: people simply are not going to leave iTunes. If you can't beat em...
But the question is, what do you think of the Pre as we slowly approach launch date? Has Palm one-upped Apple? Is the Pre a viable iPhone competitor? Does the iTunes syncing make you more likely to give this phone a second look? Let us know in the comments.

Competition is always good. No iPhone killer here move along.
With all the hype surrounding the Pre I am smelling another Storm flop and the possible end of Palm.
Happy to have them in the marketplace but I worry about the quality. The Centrino was an ok kit but the ones fielded looked very old after only a few months where as iPhone build seems very solid. Time will tell and it will be good to have them competing. Oh, about iTMS; Apple should welcome Palm on the music store to show they (Apple) are not abusing their monopoly position.
