The Palm Pre is a beautiful smartphone that poses the most serious challenger yet to the iPhone.
Palm had plenty of design help thanks to Jon Rubinstein, former senior vice president of Apple’s iPod division.
Rubinstein launched the newest smartphone at the Consumer Electronics Show 2009 (CES) in Las Vegas.
Features That Make Palm Pre a Winner
3G Wireless Network
3G refers to network speed.
Websites download more quickly on 3G networks than standard cell networks your old phone runs on.
HVGA Touchscreen
The iPhone has some competition from this vibrant touchscreen. Super fast Internet speed is made even better with a crisp, bright screen to view pages, shop, and surf social networks like Facebook.
Integrating Social Media
What could be better than a smartphone with push email (emails filter through instantly), a 3 megapixel camera, and built in Wi-Fi connectivity?
Palm is said to have designed the device around social networking platforms, so friends will be able to upload pictures and video easier than ever with the touch of a button.
