The Pre does in fact sync to exchange, gmail, pop3, yahoo and other mail servers. The contacts sync with those servers as well as facebook and linkedin. You can also apply patches to the Pre that customizes the icons, dock, launcher and other things, and the best part is that it doesn't break your warranty.
logan atwood I absolutely loved my palm pre and so disappointed that WebOS just dropped off the face of the planet. I was hoping that when HP got a hold of it they'd bring it back with tablets. to date, IMO, WebOS is hands down the best OS.
***** I agree that they defiantly rushed into the market with the phone. And your point about the pre only being launched on sprint reminds me of how apple was with the iPhone all the way up until the 4. They kept the phone exclusively to AT&T which was a for sure dumb idea when you look at how the market for it has grown as of now.
logan atwood The Pre could've easily been the hot phone on the other 3 carriers, then licensing it would've been real serious competition to Apple. But No, Palm fucked it up until it was too late.
The first pre was really ahead of it time in term of OS. It's too bad the actually hardware sucked. Still I appreciated the effort and have the default Pre ringtone as my default ringtone on my current android phone.
pre has gps as well, you can also listen to music and watch videos (you don't need itunes to load media) games are in development though but a lot of ppl are taking advantage of the dev software to make there own games, so far ive seen all the usual games as well as doom and im sure there will be countless more to come. though i do say the phones are very very close
1/2 You can custmize the bottom icons on the pre. Just hold and drag out one of the left 4 icons(not the laucher) to the menu and then you will have an open spot. Now you can drag any icon into that space. You can also get an onscreen keyboard for the pre. The 3gs/pre would be a better comparison but they are still pretty even. Both the 3gs and pre eat battery very quickly which is their biggest flaw. The iphone has good support after jailbreaking.
I'd like to point out a major mistake in this video. The quick launch on the palm pre is EASILY customized. You simply open the launcher, hover over the icon you'd like to remove, and drag and drop as you would if you were rearranging the icons on either the pre or the iphone. The pre allows you to use any four programs and the "launcher" button on the quick launch bar.
Yes. Any jpg, and there's a zoom / center feature so you don't have to crop photos to exactly the pre's native desktop size. I have ceiling cat on mine.
@@the_mariocrafter Lol, it's been 12 years since I commented on this. Haha, makes me finally feel old. I can't even remember our original convo. But I did own one of the Pre's. It was awesome. And I think it had a lot of innovation that current phones don't have. Sleep well, sweet prince.
I usually don't have more than 2 or three open at a time, if that. Multitasking is more of a convenience for me. But as far as battery is concerned, I have friends who own iPhones and we all agree that the battery life is about the same on both with regular daily use.
The spin of the screen could also be due to the page... And I like having a bigger screen on the iPhone. Also I prefer how the iPhone can sync to exchange and other mail servers. The palm pre does not. And with a jailbroken iPhone, you can increase the dock size, and customize.
and the home icons on the home screen of the pre ARE NOT HARD SET you can very well change all of them except the app launch arrow, all you do is press and hold the icons to move them and re-arrange them
The important thing to remember is that you have to remove one of the bottom icons BEFORE adding another, or else it won't let you do it. (That's probably why the reviewer thought it couldn't be done.) But yes, it's absolutely customizable! My bottom four includes the Quick Dialer app, web browser, Tweed, and Feeds (RSS feed reader.)
When people ask me why I like the pre as opposed to the iPhone, I ask them several questions: 1. Can your iPhone multitask? (ie, listening to music WHILE you text or browse.) 2. Can you move ONLY the music/movies/pictures you want to simply by dragging and dropping? 3. Has YOUR iPhone exploded yet? 4. How much space does iTunes take on your PC, and how long does it take to transfer files?
The Pre plays the exact same video files as the iPhone. I took an entire 2 hour divx movie and converted it to iPhone Mp4 format using a popular iPhone converter tool and it played through the whole thing perfectly, with no quality issues whatsoever. The only thing that would have been better would be a larger screen like the iPhone. :)
where have you been??? the palm pre was allowed to download music via itunes until apple brought out the new itunes update which was put out to block the palm pre, try keeping up to date with the news
FYI.. You can change the icons on the PRE's 4 icon menu at the bottom of the screen.. SImply open up launcher, hold your finger on the icon you want to remove, and drag it in to launcher.. then tap and hold the icon you want to put on the menu bar and drag it in place. THE PRE IS AWESOME! I love the phone.
you can't rely on one company to innovate. The more that are supported, the more innovation will come as a result. Palm deserves recognition for pulling off a VERY functional and pretty phone.
Ok a couple things. First I'm sure someone has already said this but the 4 apps at the "home screen" of the Pre ARE able to be changed. For example I have the phone, messaging, web, notes, and launcher. And I do not think that Palm going with Sprint was a mistake. Sprint has by far the best plans- almost $100 a month less than a Verizon blackberry plan or a ATT Iphone plan for a family of 4. Also, Sprint has good coverage as well. And the touchstone? That is just awesome. Pre wins!
He forgot to mention how the palm pre has a 3.2 megapixel camera vs. the iphones 2.0 megapixel. I also like where palm is going in terms of accessories for the pre. the touchstone charger is badass, and im sure they will be coming out with more unique accessories in the future. regardless of all of this, iphone still has the pre beat soley because of its app store. but the pre is still fairly new and should have more apps coming out in the future.
you can change the bottom icons by pressing the launcher button and then dragging those bottom icons into the launcher and swapping them out with other icons
if you want to compare the rotation of the browser you should open the same site on both phones, because the site you opened on the iPhone is much bigger than the mobile optimized site on the pré so of course the iPhone needs some more time..
yes you can listen to music while you text and browse on the iPhone...and my iPhone multitasks with an app...but I hardly find myself doing that...and my trasfers go really fast on Itunes...
This was a good comparison video. I have been using iPhone since it first came out and I'm looking to defect. Reason is not because of the phone itself, but the Apple/AT&T business practice of piece-mealing what should have been in the first phone. i.e. voice dial, MMS.
For the most part is really was a good comparison. It just seemed to me that he likes the pre better and was trying to show how it was better and even when it was virtually the same or even a little toward the iPhone he would always way it's basically the same. Also, he should have shown the same web page with the accelerometer test. The Pre had a paged designed for phone use, the iPhone had a more data intense page to use.
I was gonna get an EVO, but i had no contract upgrade, so that would cost quite a lot. But i went on eBay and got a Pre for $120, activated right away, and I love it!
I do like the real keyboard on the pre, but it does seem rather cramped compared to the horizontal keyboard on iPhone 3.0. Also, the battery life wasn't mentioned about the pre. Would be good to know, as iPhone battery is relativley short, but bloody impressive really when u think about what it actually get out of it. Also, does the pre have a video camera? Stupid question but iPhone only just got one. Sent from my iPhone.
my buddy has the Pre and I love it I seen the Pixi and I don't like the visible keyboard I like the Pre better but thanks for the advice I might just wait to see if Pre 2 will come out.
Great demo. Ive had the pre for 3 months and its worked flawlessly. It even survived being left out in a tropical storm. I had a treo before I had the pre so I was used to 3 day battery life and still getting used to having to charge it every night (the pre gets about 12-16 hours depending on usage) but the touchstone charging sweet. I also have an ipod touch and in comparison, i like most of the pre apps better. All in all, the pre rocks!
one thing you also have to think about when your doing the screen flippingn thing is that the iphone has all your contacts and stuff like that the pre doesnt have like anything in it yet
Multi-tasking is not that big of deal and you can do it on the iPhone, you can have music playing while sending an email while browsing the internet or maps or whatever, and push notifications is great so its not really that big of a deal to have multi-tasking. Why would you want to sacrifice battery life and performance for just having 4 different applications open on the pre which you could instead just close and go back to.
Thanks a lot for the video. I have the iPod Touch and, though I really like it, I don't want to leave my current carrier just to get the iPhone - I'm not too keen on ATT. My son suggested the Pre and this video helps compare the features I like. As I have the iTouch already, I'm not worried about losing out on games. I'll view your other videos to see additional features on the Pre. Thanks again.
1 thing that concerns me about the pre is the size. The screen seems a little too smal and so does the keyboard. Im probably gonna get one tommorow though...Im sure i will adjust to the slide out QWERTY and the 0.4 inches in screen size it lacks against the iphone.
Lets not forget 8gb of internal storage, usb mass storage for fast transferring data, fully customizable ring tones so no need to download a ringtone when you can just use songs you already have, supports .aac media files so you can rip your cd and copy the music right over, fast searching by just typing on the keyboard it will locate applications, if it doesnt find them it will give the option of using google/maps, wiki and twitter, and software for developing your own custom applications!
I used to own an iPhone, and while it fills a niche for many people, it did not with me. I've owned my Palm Pre since June and am still in love with it. Best smartphone I've ever owned.
yea i get ya, i wanna palm pre or iphone, but the date plan + calling cost is extremely expensive, dont know if i can keep it up. Also do you know how many apps apple has? but like 1/3 are just shortcuts to internet webpages.
you can customize the bottom menu on the pre just go to you lanucher arrow and just tap and hold on one of the 4 on the bottom and drag it up to move it off. then drag a new one in
I have a Pre. It's an amazing machine. I think it's a blend between blackberry and iPhone. It has the business functions of blackberry and iPhone's entertainment. iPhone is a great machine but I think it leans more toward entertainment purposes. Microsoft Exchange, Google calendar, and facebook sync really well with Pre. It constantly update my calender on Pre. Really neat features if you work closely with Outlook or GMAIL calender. It brings all your busy scheudles into One.
The thing that bothers me is that iphone makes you sign with at&t to even get it. Plus the iphone like he said doesn't slide out with a keyboard OR multitask. Also i did some research on it and the Palm Pre updates everyones picture on your contact list based on their picture on facebook wich as AMAZING. I'm definately getting the Palm Pre tomorrow.
not a bad comparison but you didnt compare two mobile sites when you did the browser accelerometer. and i am pretty sure the iphone is supposed to wait a moment to make sure you wanted to go sideways
I have a palm pixi ... theres no slide out keyboard and its about the same size. without the slide out its much thinner. I love my palm pixi. Palm made some really great phones.
so what do you use as your main phone since you have so many phones i would use the iphone for a main maybe palm pre for business but you got blackberrys you got to many damn phones
During the keybd comparison everyone is forgetting that on the iPhone you lose close to 60% of the screen real estate and whopping 80% in landscape mode. Since we can basically just see one line, it's only good for tweets and not so much for emails.
You're lucky that you have such savvy for virtual keyboards. I am terrible with them, so I love the physical one on my pre. However, I did hack it and install an on-screen keyboard on it. Just to have it.
I dont know, its just much easier to use i feel. Also the buttons are tiny on the Palm, even in comaprison to a blackberrys buttons. i think the iphone is very user friendly, wheras the palm is a bit more for people who are good with phones. I doubt my dad would be able to use the palm wheras he can use the iPhone with ease
in a way i can agree the pre kills iphone with internet speed and more responsive touch screen as well as multitasking but the 3G S is faster with voice commands and alot of other stuff but come on give the pre a break its the first of its kind so hopefully later when the second gen. comes out it'll hopefully be waaaay better by the way how much is the pre even though u have a contract with sprint?
I dont think he meant to be biased towards the pre. The pre is a newer phone, maybe hes just trying to show the newer features. Im sure by now most people know how the iphone works and its features.
the four bottom apps can be changed... All you have to do is bring up the launcher and drag the bottom ones up, then drag the ones from the launcher to the bottom... You can actually remove everything from the bottom (exept for the launcher of course) soooo yeah... I love the physical keyboard... Can't stand touchscreen keyboards... They piss me off sooo much
I really like the iphone personally, and have been within an inch of buying one for a week now. The problem is AT&T. I will not go to a company that charges as much as they do for service, and also won't insure the phone. While the pre might not be quite as good in my opinion, it's close enough that I'll be choosing it under sprint. The day the iphone goes to sprint, I'll buy one.
i have a pre. like all smart phones, there will be quirks. ive spoken to iphone owners, and they report little quirks just as the pre does. i honestly really like the pre, and the only difference that there WAS, was that the pre didnt record video, which was the only thing the iphone had on pre, but with an update, the pre records video and even allows you to edit it (in length only) so theres really nothing that the iphone has over the pre, its simply personal preference now.
hey look 6 years later every phone has copied the palm pre
So why does Apple keep patent trolling everyone when they got all their ideas from the palm pre/web OS?
i love seeing these old videos, brings back a lot of good memories when phones became more advance!
Yes
The Pre does in fact sync to exchange, gmail, pop3, yahoo and other mail servers. The contacts sync with those servers as well as facebook and linkedin. You can also apply patches to the Pre that customizes the icons, dock, launcher and other things, and the best part is that it doesn't break your warranty.
I miss my Palm Pixi
Nor sure if you updated with a correction but the PRE does have the ability the change the home keys at the bottom.
I remember when the palm pre was actually a thing lol now I have the 6 plus :)
Its amazing how much things have changed over the years. These two phones alone are my top two favorites of all time.
logan atwood I absolutely loved my palm pre and so disappointed that WebOS just dropped off the face of the planet. I was hoping that when HP got a hold of it they'd bring it back with tablets.

Yes. They have.
UA-cam suggestion bring me here ... at 2019
2022 lol
yes it is. just like most other phones you can set the background to one of the preloaded images, photos that you take yourself, or downloaded images.
Whatever happened to Palm?
They went bust and sold Web OS to LG which they now use in their smart TVs
The first pre was really ahead of it time in term of OS. It's too bad the actually hardware sucked. Still I appreciated the effort and have the default Pre ringtone as my default ringtone on my current android phone.
funny how iOS7 now uses swipe up to close apps from WebOs! 4 year old technology!
The palm also has a moving wallpaper when you tilt the phone, also included in iOS 7!
True! i'm a ios 7 user anyway!
LOL you sound so ignorant. 4 year old technology? you mean 4 year old animations!
And Android Pie & Queen Cake
pre has gps as well, you can also listen to music and watch videos (you don't need itunes to load media) games are in development though but a lot of ppl are taking advantage of the dev software to make there own games, so far ive seen all the usual games as well as doom and im sure there will be countless more to come. though i do say the phones are very very close
Iphone X
Dr.ManHat beat me to it lol
Esmeralda Doll only reason why I was here lol
Dr.ManHat Lol Aw
Dr.ManHat You're right, Apple copied Palm.
1/2

Getting one tomorrow!
Did you get one?

Great video John! This was one of the first videos I watched from you
this video was made before the 3gs came out. The 3gs still can't multitask, which is a big feature of the Pre.
Pag.67 Palm Pre user manual:
You can cut or copy any editable text. Tap the text to insert the cursor-if the cursor appears,
you can edit the text.
The spin of the screen could also be due to the page... And I like having a bigger screen on the iPhone. Also I prefer how the iPhone can sync to exchange and other mail servers. The palm pre does not. And with a jailbroken iPhone, you can increase the dock size, and customize.
and the home icons on the home screen of the pre ARE NOT HARD SET you can very well change all of them except the app launch arrow, all you do is press and hold the icons to move them and re-arrange them
Notice on the Pre he only had 2-3 bars for Sprint service but on the iPhone he always had full bars.
the pre looks amazing, im gonna have to go and test this thing out
lol yes the pre holds music... it even has a standard jack for your favorite headphones on the bottom. its cool
The important thing to remember is that you have to remove one of the bottom icons BEFORE adding another, or else it won't let you do it. (That's probably why the reviewer thought it couldn't be done.) But yes, it's absolutely customizable! My bottom four includes the Quick Dialer app, web browser, Tweed, and Feeds (RSS feed reader.)

u can also set up advanced gustures allows u to switch between cards by swiping the entire length of the gesture area

he is not a fanboy, but if you were to look at the date of the video that was posted you would understand that its 10 prior to 3gs release
Maybe some day, but it will be a sprint exclusive for a while, that is just normally how palm does it.
you can change the bottom icons by pressing the launcher button and then dragging those bottom icons into the launcher and swapping them out with other icons
if you want to compare the rotation of the browser you should open the same site on both phones, because the site you opened on the iPhone is much bigger than the mobile optimized site on the pré so of course the iPhone needs some more time..

Can't wait for the new line of Palm(HP) phones! My contract is up in December! :)
ya they are also missing Jailbreaking ( does virtually anything) and the palm was made by an apple worker so leave it at that
This was a good comparison video. I have been using iPhone since it first came out and I'm looking to defect. Reason is not because of the phone itself, but the Apple/AT&T business practice of piece-mealing what should have been in the first phone. i.e. voice dial, MMS.

I was gonna get an EVO, but i had no contract upgrade, so that would cost quite a lot. But i went on eBay and got a Pre for $120, activated right away, and I love it!
Do you think he'll do a comparison of the iphone 3gs vs the htc hero when it, if it does, come to the U.S.?
I do like the real keyboard on the pre, but it does seem rather cramped compared to the horizontal keyboard on iPhone 3.0.

Great demo. Ive had the pre for 3 months and its worked flawlessly. It even survived being left out in a tropical storm. I had a treo before I had the pre so I was used to 3 day battery life and still getting used to having to charge it every night (the pre gets about 12-16 hours depending on usage) but the touchstone charging sweet.

You CAN change the home screen apps on the palm pre! I do it all the time.
ha yeah i was about to say, i dont even have one and i new that. would you say that you like the PRE better than the HERO?
this is not a fair comparison. it should be between the pre and the 3GS seeing as they both came to the market at relatively the same time.
hello from 2017, I still waiting for webos return
Multi-tasking is not that big of deal and you can do it on the iPhone, you can have music playing while sending an email while browsing the internet or maps or whatever, and push notifications is great so its not really that big of a deal to have multi-tasking.

actally the palm pre does have an app store, but right now its a betta.
fantastic video. i'm looking to buy either the pre or the htc hero and this gave me a great glimpse at the pre being used.
1 thing that concerns me about the pre is the size. The screen seems a little too smal and so does the keyboard. Im probably gonna get one tommorow though...Im sure i will adjust to the slide out QWERTY and the 0.4 inches in screen size it lacks against the iphone.

yeah and on top of that if you jailbreak there is an app that allows multi tasking
@hengineer, correct, but no one remembres that!!, they did wireless PDA, almost before windows did.
The pre just came out.. they already have a small app store thing for it.. im sure even more apps will start coming in the future for it. so yeaaaaa
you can customize the bottom menu on the pre just go to you lanucher arrow and just tap and hold on one of the 4 on the bottom and drag it up to move it off. then drag a new one in
How are the applications? Are they equal in that? OR does the Iphone have more?
can the pre play music, like you itunes stuff if you connect it to your computer
I have a Pre. It's an amazing machine. I think it's a blend between blackberry and iPhone.

Man,the Pre was so ahead of its time.Android still struggles to have animations as smooth and fluid as the one seen in this video.
not a bad comparison but you didnt compare two mobile sites when you did the browser accelerometer. and i am pretty sure the iphone is supposed to wait a moment to make sure you wanted to go sideways
U can deff customize the quik launch in the bottom of the pre all u do is hold the icon u want to switch and drag it to the launcher
I have a palm pixi ... theres no slide out keyboard and its about the same size. without the slide out its much thinner. I love my palm pixi. Palm made some really great phones.

Do you have any videos when you compare the HTC touch pro to the Palm pre? I think the HTC is better than the iPhone anyway.
You're lucky that you have such savvy for virtual keyboards. I am terrible with them, so I love the physical one on my pre. However, I did hack it and install an on-screen keyboard on it. Just to have it.

The PRE has a lot of of features to come that you can't imagine its possible!! TRUST ME!
@ 10:57 you could customize the palm pre. what are you talking about?
in a way i can agree the pre kills iphone with internet speed and more responsive touch screen as well as multitasking but the 3G S is faster with voice commands and alot of other stuff but come on give the pre a break its the first of its kind so hopefully later when the second gen. comes out it'll hopefully be waaaay better by the way how much is the pre even though u have a contract with sprint?
if you had the choice..
would you take the iPhone or the Pre?
No multi-tasking? Can the 3GS at least play iTunes while web browsing?
I dont think he meant to be biased towards the pre. The pre is a newer phone, maybe hes just trying to show the newer features. Im sure by now most people know how the iphone works and its features.
how do you get the notifications on the calender on the iphone????
@ragekage209 the pre does have an app store with tons of apps
can you do a palm pre vs. palm pixi video?
the four bottom apps can be changed... All you have to do is bring up the launcher and drag the bottom ones up, then drag the ones from the launcher to the bottom... You can actually remove everything from the bottom (exept for the launcher of course) soooo yeah... I love the physical keyboard... Can't stand touchscreen keyboards... They piss me off sooo much
I really like the iphone personally, and have been within an inch of buying one for a week now. The problem is AT&T. I will not go to a company that charges as much as they do for service, and also won't insure the phone. While the pre might not be quite as good in my opinion, it's close enough that I'll be choosing it under sprint. The day the iphone goes to sprint, I'll buy one.
Why dose the pre not have video recording ?
i have a pre. like all smart phones, there will be quirks. ive spoken to iphone owners, and they report little quirks just as the pre does. i honestly really like the pre, and the only difference that there WAS, was that the pre didnt record video, which was the only thing the iphone had on pre, but with an update, the pre records video and even allows you to edit it (in length only) so theres really nothing that the iphone has over the pre, its simply personal preference now.
There you go , you finally got it right this time
does the palm pre have an onscreen keyboard at all?
