For me, the word “Palm” became synonymous with “frustration” several years ago, mostly due to hotsync issues on the Mac. So they’ve been off my rader. Until yesterday.
The new Pre looks very nice. Small and tidy, it’s got a UI similiar to the iPhone’s. The difference between the Pre and other wanna-bes is that the UI doesn’t seem rushed in an effort to imitate the iPhone, but seems at home on the Pre. Engadget has a nice writeup and video.
No word on pricing or availability yet. However, if the price is right and the UI is as snappy as it appears in Engadget’s video, this could signifiy the resurrection of Palm.
Update: some more videos from Gizmodo
