BOING BOING GADGETS ONLINE: gadgets.boingboing.net MORE OF OUR CES COVERAGE gadgets.boingboing.net Boing Boing Gadgets editors Joel and Brownlee got a hands-on demo with the new Palm Pre, and Boing Boing’s video team was there to cover them. Watch the whole review above. In the first half of the video, Brownlee and Joel grill a Palm rep — who doesn’t want to let either of them touch the device — about features and what’s under the hood. In the second half of today’s video, our fellas huddle over brews and watered-down show floor drinks with Jon Stokes from Ars Technica for a post-game analysis. Verdict seems to be that if this is Palm’s “hail mary,” it just might work. The Pre seems pretty sweet. More on the Pre at palm.com. ————————– Sponsor shout-out: Boing Boing’s video coverage of CES 2009 is sponsored by WEPC.com, in partnership with Intel and Asus. wepc.com is intended to be a site where users come together to “share ideas, images and inspiration about the ideal PC.” Participants’ designs, feature ideas and community feedback will be evaluated by ASUS and “could influence the blueprint for an actual notebook PC built by ASUS with Intel inside.”

Very nice phone this is awesome. Check out my mobile search for deals and updates on this phone palm pre. Just go to my profile and see my website
What the people of Palm were three things. People wanted more memory, Wi-Fi, and Flash content and palms, there was not one of them if they use Windows Mobile. Frankly, it was Palm own arrogance, his fall was not the i-phone like the Treo, in many respects still a superior device.
Lets GET of strait it Idioten. Apple Palm copies. L' iPhone OS is like Palm OS. And if you do not see können qu' it never in possession d' Palm-Geräts in your life. C' were palms, the first on the market with Touch-Screen & amp; amp; Multi-media GPS & amp; amp; Albumcover indicated. fucking I phon the still not correction! Stop d' over to inflate qu' off shit telephone part that does not even take video! one cannot so much those and never becomes in the situation to make I-Phon with that qu' it would have!
this is scary if u read this this far u will die in 10 days if u dont send to any 15 videos in 2 hours good luck hope u dont die !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes, I actually learned this after a little surfing examinations. It’s a bummer, because over a video that I could have sworn that the Sprint / Palm EPR said it was the charger with it. From what I’ve seen so far, they are asking 69 99 for which it seems a little steep. I would like to have
But
The Pre doesn’t “come with” that “charging dock” as you call it. . which is the magnetic charging stone device. It is purchased separately.
Great review! I’m going to replace my HTC Touch Pro for this bad boy. The Touch Pro is ok, but still very buggy and I like the idea, very friendly with his finger on the Meadow. I also like the charger that came with the front – very kewl!
come and join!
