First off let me say this, I have always been a major fan of webOS. The GUI is absolutely gorgeous, and the way it handles multitasking is lightyears ahead of the rest of the market. The Pixi comes preloaded with the latest build of webOS and with it comes Yahoo integration.

I had to go to a Sprint retail store since Palm is unreliable with their review units. We received an email shortly after the release of the Palm Pre from Palm’s marketing department letting us know that they would be sending us a unit to review ASAP, but to this date we have still not received it.

Sprint is definitely taking a shot at Apple and AT&T. Basically they are suggesting that you get much much more for a lot less. $1200 dollars less to be exact.

The ad is targeted at 1st gen iPhone users whose contracts are expiring and are looking to either renew or switch. It really is a tempting offer getting unlimited everything for only $99 a month. Also you get Sprint TV which you don’t get with an iPhone.

On top of all of this the Palm Pre is debatable superior to the iPhone 3G S (or any of the previous models) because it actually lets you multitask.

Truly it all depends where your priorities are. If you want a fun Apple device and have the money you might want to go the iPhone/AT&T route. If you want a powerful multitasking phone and want to save lots of money then the Pre is for you.

Breaking News

The latest estimates say that 50,000 Palm Pres were sold during its opening weekend. Palm is playing this off as a success since most locations sold out. This is not hard to achieve considering some locations had as little as four units each. Compare this to the Apple iPhone 1st generation. It sold 146,000 units on its opening weekend at the unsubsidized price of $499 and $599. The iPhone 3G sold over a million during its first weekend. These numbers do not please Palm’s investors many investors and Palm has seen a 10% stock drop.

One investor seems to think the Pre is doing quite well. Roger McNamee invested $400 million into the Palm Pre and tells Fox it was a dream come true in an interview. He continues to say they never wanted to take down Apple because that is an unrealistic thing to do, but merely take some of the market share that wasn’t already taken by either Blackberry or Apple.
