This is a pretty impressive UI! I wish that webos ran on some more devices so it could have phones with larger screens and landscape sliders and such. I get the feeling there's very minimal landscape support, if any, but there isn't much on windows phone either and i still love it on the LG quantum with a landscape slider! Imagine if webos got together with windows phone 7! That would be the best UI ever on a phone. Maybe Nokia should have went with this os!
@GarrettSnowTV unfortunately, it probably won't sell like windows phone hasn't. People generally don't like new OS' that aren't Android or iOS. But thank you for the update!
webOS is the only serious competitor to iOS from UI point-of-view. That's because the UI designer was an Apple veteran, and now that HP bought Palm, he returns to Apple.
@kistajk I recognise the merits of both OSes I just prefer Android. iOS has alot of apps (some might say too much) but most are paid, you are unlikely for it to break since it's a controlled world (or "walled garden"). Android has a broad range of apps and most are free but it's a free for all (not much control by google, you have to rely on the reviews and ratings), but this means there are cool apps that would never make it on iOS and you can change everything UI wise!
@irishgandalf757 And I much prefer iOS as it does everything and it does so intuitively. Walled garden is a typical misconception since if you read heaps of articles you'd understand Android isn't as 'free' as their fans make it out to be as well.
Anyway I don't feel like starting another silly iOS vs Android war, so let's just leave it at 'to each their own'.
*And I thought I just met the first android fan not trying to flame iOS. Guess they are all the same.
@kistajk I wasn't trying to flame it, i've used it. I just prefer the openness and customisation of android. I have friends who like the "walled garden" and feel reassured that apps they download have had to jump through a few hoops in order to get on the app store. It's not a criticism, it's an observation. The apple controlled eco system has it's benefits I just happen to find it too constricting.
My iPhone broke a few days ago and I'm using my friend's Treo 650 because I'm going to be getting the Pre and don't want to spend any more money on the iPhone.
Synergy, multitasking, not having to be tied to an application (like iTunes), hardware keyboard, beautiful form factor.. I haven't been this excited about a device since the original iPhone was announced. :)

You know why I love the pre? Because its a much more open OS, I can develop on it without Apple shoving a stick up my ass and messing with the system. I can't wait for this phone.
Yeh and palm probably copied it from somewhere else. This is the nature of evolutionary technology people. We are all innovating from the same point for the same purposes to solve the same problems! Of course the solutions are all going to seem the same.
According to Apple rumors, the new iPhone 3.0 update is going to give the OS the same feel as the Pre. I, for one, hope those rumors are true. This new Palm looks AMAZING! The UI demo after 5:45 blew my mind!
Alos, the reason this phones OS clearly resembles an Apple is b/c Palm Hired Apples Retired Design Engineer (sorry his names a secret) to design this phone. And some people here need to do more research. This phone will support flash out the box, has a replaceable 1300 mAh battery, has an accelerometer that can do some rediculous stuff and has multitouch technology. Taste me.. I cant wait for someone to reply so I can disprove ne thing they say. Please someone with Knowledge B======)~~ :-)
Also, the Pre will NOT support flash out of the box. It will have flash by the end of the year via OTA install. Engadget, phonescoop, precentral all have info on flash. Stop spamming with your nonsense.
Oh man...This phone reminds me of Apples Leopard OS. Awesome..I love reading these blogs when people talk about things they have no idea about. First of like P3t3b2 said, 3G technology has been around on Sprint and Verizon for maybe 4-5 years. Att and Tmobile are new to the game. Sprints 3G technology is EVDO Rev A as well Verizons which, teamed with Sprints Network, if anyone here pays attention, has beaten Verizon, ATT and Tmobile in Download Speed Twice Consecutively in 08 and 09~ Gizmodo
@elbacha2 I responded to your other 2 identical comments with this:
"I equally love it when people "try" to say others do not know what they're talking about, when in fact it is them who are misinformed. ACTUALLY, Sprint and Verizon rolled out their 3G network back in 2002. Google "cnn sci-tech sprint verizon 3g" and see for your self. 3G is 1XRTT, EVDO Rev-A is 3.5G technology."
.......AND ON THE EIGHTH DAY..... THE LORD GOD GOT OFF HIS ASS, KICKED PALM IN THE BALLZ, AND SAID, "GET UP YOU SON-OF-A-BITCH!!! CUZ MICKEY LOVES YA!!!
*****Please insert ROCKY Theme Song here*****
Ladies and Gentlemen, WE ARE BACK!!! AND IT'S ONNNN LIKE MEGA-TRON!!!
1) Obviously you haven't read the patent or you do not understand it.
2) Engadget and gizmodo (websites) ran articles that show Apple stands much-more to lose than Palm. The articles also point out that Apple has been overstating their claims and that Apple really doesn't have a patent on multi-touch. The patent covers a specific swipe/zoom/gesture on the iphone. Not swipes/zooms/gestures in general.
Although the ideas are similar, the Palm Pre and the iphone have different technologies.
Ignorant is bliss, let me help you. All networks have 3G, 3G is 3rd generation wireless. Verizon and Sprint have had their 3G networks for years. Att and Tmo started their 3G networks last year, Att's is very spotty and Tmo's is almost nonexistent. EVDO is the data side of Sprints and Verizons 3G network. The industries 3G network did not start with the "iphone 3G."
No phone will kill the iphone because the whole point of the iphone is the itunes, and ipod. its like the ipod, there are other mp3 pleyers that are better than it, yet none has maneged to defeat it, no matter how many geeks out there discuz how this new phone has more features
U r so wrong. I dont care at all about iTunes. This phone combines business and pleasure. Thats what I was looking for. Finaly a great device, not just a fonky toy for teenagers like iPhone. I also like the sliding keypad idea a lot. I like iphone too but this device made much bigger impression on me.
stupid guy is talking about stuff as if it's cutting edge when i-phone, blackberry, samsung, lg has been doing it forever now. "no buttons to clutter up"... "your touch manipulates". idiots.
Okay now I just lost respect for this phone NO AUTO FOCUS get real how can any one take a decent picture...Yeah I guess thats a main reason I canceled my sprint serivce...to the omnia! Get real Sprint ~A U T O F O C U S~
Am I supposed to clap? Sliding graphics, gestures, large screen. Hmmm, this looks awful familiar. Oh yeah Apple already did it more than two years ago.
So years after the iPhone destroyed the cell phone market along with all competition, another company finally shows us a decent iPhone clone...
If anyone wants to find out how to know one hundred percent for sure that if you were to die today you would go to heaven, go ahead and click on my channel link and I have a detailed explanation written there.
That is impressive. I'd love to see a touch UI like that on a netbook one day. I think it would trastically change the way that we use computers (kinda like Microsoft's Surface, but portable). Bravo to Palm, they really pulled a rabbit out of their hats with this one!
Seems that iPhone brainwashed fanboys are not 100% satisfied about their brick since they are moaning on every phone device video available on youtube.
The iPhone introduced a new type of touch screen to mobile phones. Even though almost every brand of cell phone has made at least one touch screen phone, none are as fluid and intuitive as the iPhone. The Pre is another of these phones that uses a resistive touch screen. This means that you have to put actual pressure on the sceen and only one point can be tracked at a time. The iPhone's screen notices a change in the electrical field on the screen. No actual contact is required because it can
sense a finger from 2 mm away. This new screen can also track multiple fingers which brought about the pinch-to-zoom features. This is what made the iPhone so revolutionary. This operating system appears like a hybrid of Mac OSX and the IPhone OS. With this said no real "iPhone killer" actually exists at the time. Attempt to type on a Dare or other full touch screen phone and you will see that the iphone is easier to type on because of its screen. I am to remain neutral on the subject.
Shamless copying...lol i luvit, maybe now Apple will be quicker with its updates and features. I do like the UI and qwerty keyboard I hope it comes to the iPhone.
Humm what a rip off. It's like they added 1% new stuff to the iPhone ui. Physical they say, They should also say where did they ripped off that physical movement from...
for all the iphone fanboys fags: if someone copied someone here, IT was apple. motorola realesed the first touchscreen cellphone i can remember, the Motorola A1200 or Ming back in 2005 (Apple announced the 1st gen iPhone on January 9, 2007) NOW STFU ONCE AND FOR ALL !!!!
i'm glad i waited and didnt buy that pos phone. definitely getting the pre or another phone with winmo7
I wish I could put features like screen clicking on the blackberry storm, and the elegance and beauty of the iphone all in one. This looks like a nice phone, but I wouldnt give up my iPhone for it. In the end, its a Palm, and I have never had good luck with palm devices.
I will give Apple all the credit in the world for influencing the whole industry to move towards these elegant easy to use interfaces. Kudos to you Apple. With that said, I think its obvious that competitors can match easily match it, and that Apple being Apple, has been slow to add all the missing features these devices now have. No Wonder Apple wants to slow down on the horse and pony show and focus on development.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
It looks as if they're struggling to bring a product up to par with the iPhone, if they want to make a better product they have to revolutionize the way touchphones are seen, maybe including a microprojector or a dual screen phone. You can't even compare a device that has so much app support and features as the iPhone to one that doesn't.
copy and paste??? I guess they made it far after the iPhone, and their OS seems to be good. Switching applications seems easier to me than the iPhone.
Thank God, finally a smartphone that has a UI like or maybe even better than the iphone. I have been a palm fan forever, and I was starting to lose faith in them. I have moved on to Android, but kind of wish that i had waited just a tiny bit longer.
This is a wonderful evolution of the old Palm OS. Anyone who has been watching handheld tech for longer than the iPhone has been out(newbies!) will see the wonderful way this builds on all of the old Palm ways of doing things that others have copied. And guess what? Palm has had copy&paste for a very long time! ;)
I find it amazing everyone who says "look at that dock. And that bar at the top! And icons! Looks like the iPhone." Now think back for a second. Palm had the original dock, original icon set, and most of the futures that you see today in smart phones originate from the Palm OS.
I'm a Mac user and I think this is better than the iPhone.
Provided the architecture (app store, SDK, etc) drops into place along with some proper compatibility with my platform, I think I'll be buying this instead.
Not bad, steals some of the best parts of the iPhone interface and makes a few definite improvements. This is the first interface that's even in the same league. How is the browser? Applications?
I would trade my 3g iphone in for this any day. The iphone is overrated. I had to get mine replaced three times because of light leaks, and dead pixels. I mean having the phone for less than a week. This one I have has light the leaks through the whole left and right side between the bezel and the screen and I only had it for two days. I didn't notice it in the apple store because you can only see it when dark. Any who, I would get this phone in a second as long as it's made well.
looks nice, just hate how everyone is still trying to come out with an "iphone killer". Iphone is 2 years old jesus. I have an iphone and havnt found a good enough reason to buy a diff. touch screen phone, but who ever comes out with an internet flash player first will get my money.
For those of you calling this device an "Iphone" clone... You're morons... Palm has had touch screen tech since the mid 90's... Wake up and smell the coffee... These phones they're releasing in the US have been out and about in Europe, Asia etc... They're releasing them slowly so you can eat it up bit by bit and at 500 bucks @ a time... You Apple fans really are fuckin' gullible aren't you?
Didnt they just take the iPhone software and are not acting like this is new?? We have a "touch screen" and "gestures" just throw an "i" in front of those and this could be Apple, lame

That is impressive. I'd love to see a touch UI like that on a netbook one day. I think it would trastically change the way that we use computers (kinda like Microsoft's Surface, but portable). Bravo to Palm, they really pulled a rabbit out of their hats with this one!

The iPhone introduced a new type of touch screen to mobile phones. Even though almost every brand of cell phone has made at least one touch screen phone, none are as fluid and intuitive as the iPhone. The Pre is another of these phones that uses a resistive touch screen. This means that you have to put actual pressure on the sceen and only one point can be tracked at a time. The iPhone's screen notices a change in the electrical field on the screen. No actual contact is required because it can

sense a finger from 2 mm away. This new screen can also track multiple fingers which brought about the pinch-to-zoom features. This is what made the iPhone so revolutionary. This operating system appears like a hybrid of Mac OSX and the IPhone OS. With this said no real "iPhone killer" actually exists at the time. Attempt to type on a Dare or other full touch screen phone and you will see that the iphone is easier to type on because of its screen. I am to remain neutral on the subject.

I wish I could put features like screen clicking on the blackberry storm, and the elegance and beauty of the iphone all in one. This looks like a nice phone, but I wouldnt give up my iPhone for it. In the end, its a Palm, and I have never had good luck with palm devices.

I will give Apple all the credit in the world for influencing the whole industry to move towards these elegant easy to use interfaces. Kudos to you Apple. With that said, I think its obvious that competitors can match easily match it, and that Apple being Apple, has been slow to add all the missing features these devices now have. No Wonder Apple wants to slow down on the horse and pony show and focus on development.

It looks as if they're struggling to bring a product up to par with the iPhone, if they want to make a better product they have to revolutionize the way touchphones are seen, maybe including a microprojector or a dual screen phone. You can't even compare a device that has so much app support and features as the iPhone to one that doesn't.

copy and paste??? I guess they made it far after the iPhone, and their OS seems to be good. Switching applications seems easier to me than the iPhone.

This is a wonderful evolution of the old Palm OS. Anyone who has been watching handheld tech for longer than the iPhone has been out(newbies!) will see the wonderful way this builds on all of the old Palm ways of doing things that others have copied. And guess what? Palm has had copy&paste for a very long time! ;)

I find it amazing everyone who says "look at that dock. And that bar at the top! And icons! Looks like the iPhone." Now think back for a second. Palm had the original dock, original icon set, and most of the futures that you see today in smart phones originate from the Palm OS.

I'm a Mac user and I think this is better than the iPhone.
Provided the architecture (app store, SDK, etc) drops into place along with some proper compatibility with my platform, I think I'll be buying this instead.
But I'll wait just a bit longer.
Because I'm not an early adopter.
I am not an idiot.

I would trade my 3g iphone in for this any day. The iphone is overrated. I had to get mine replaced three times because of light leaks, and dead pixels. I mean having the phone for less than a week. This one I have has light the leaks through the whole left and right side between the bezel and the screen and I only had it for two days. I didn't notice it in the apple store because you can only see it when dark. Any who, I would get this phone in a second as long as it's made well.

For those of you calling this device an "Iphone" clone... You're morons... Palm has had touch screen tech since the mid 90's... Wake up and smell the coffee... These phones they're releasing in the US have been out and about in Europe, Asia etc... They're releasing them slowly so you can eat it up bit by bit and at 500 bucks @ a time...
