Last Thursday, the Globe and Mail carried a review of the new Palm Pre that was launched by Sprint in the US over the weekend.
The review, gushing at times, rated the Pre above the iPhone and the author was especially impressed by the new Palm operating system.
The author said that the ease of use and coolness inherent in iPhone’s two years of smart phone supremacy is being challenged.
With webOS, Palm’s new operating system, you can keep multiple applications open at once. They’re organized like a row of cards that stretches off the screen, and you flick the screen to switch between them. For instance, if you need to quickly check your calendar while writing an e-mail, you can bring up the calendar application, then flick back to e-mail, then keep switching between them as you try to work out your schedule.
Other reviewers were also sending positive signals about the Pre.
Palm Canada’s managing director, Marc Tremblay, is speaking at The 2009 Canadian Telecom Summit next week.
