Palm Pre vs iPhone 2 Charging (I'm a Mac style)

Just a little light-hearted sketch to welcome the new Palm Pre. Done in the style of the popular "I'm a Mac" adverts.

The Pre has a wireless desktop charger that sits on your desk and you just stick the Pre on it and it's held in place by magnets whilst it charges, just the same as an electric toothbrush. It's maybe not quite so wireless as Palm would like you to believe.

one thing I have to say. Working at a cell phone place that fixed cell phones one of the most common issues were charging ports. People would be to abusive or careless and quite often break the ports. A wireless charger would greatly help this.

Thank you for the comment. I hadn't considered this reason before, but you're right. On a couple of Palm devices that I own, the charging port has died over time. I guess there finally is a good reason to use an induction charger.

y does the iphone say cingular

You're right, but I never noticed that. I just used a stock image that I stole from the internet. Hmm... most curious. Good eyes!

This was really stupid.

Seeing as how the iPhone dock is contact-on-contact, it isn't on the same "plane" as the magnetic induction principle. The contacts sometimes become dirty, or wear. You can put the pre on in any orientation, and it charges. Plus the touchstone charging is faster in comparison with using the usb method. With the magnet, you can still have your phone in a case or protective pouch, and the electricity still gets through. Cover your contact port, and let me know how your phone is in the morning!

the palm pre is like broken or something

it says 3:01 talk about electronic glitches

lol... Cingular? Why not get Verizon? It might solve the iPhone4 antenna problem

[MacOSXMason]

WIRELESS!

inductive charging is a great idea, i have a sony ericsson phone which is in good shape aside from the busted charging port...this would be really handy once this tech goes mainstream..

I saythe iPhone is better

[damonfong0]

NICE! contract ended months ago and pondering between Pre and Droid, both look like they kick my iPhone 3G's ass and about as good as HTC!!!

[zackam1306]

nope just got off the phone with verizon they said they were offering it. and rumors say the 7th

[aman43i]

@damonfong0 its coming to verizon probably this month or next.

[kodabar]

Gosh, what a storm of hate. The thing is I'm actually a great fan of all things Palm and have never owned or used any Apple stuff, including the iPhone.

I own dozens of Palm PDA's and will be getting a Pre as soon as I can get hold of a SIM unlocked GSM one here in the UK.

Macfag? Hardly.

Poking gentle fun at the Pre? Yes.

Watch the fifth video in this series for the Pre's retaliation.

This looks very pro apple hahah.... i have iphone 3G and HTC touch pro... my iphone was hyped up by their store, not what i thought it was. my HTC was hyped up by everyone and is exactly what i thought it was. And I was gullible. but Pre looks like an upgrade from touch pro.... if only it was out for verizon since my sprint and at&t don't qualify for upgrades...
