One of my developers already has the Palm PRE. I like it. Well, for one, I do a lot of email so a physical keyboard would be a premium item for me. I tried out the PRE slide out keyboard and was able to do well with it.
Otherwise, very iPhone-ish experience. The browser has pinch gestures for zoom much like iPhone Safari. I like the size better than iPhone too. A wee bit more compact but perhaps with a bit more thickness than iPhone. This individual already had the PRE's imap email client hooked up to suck email off our corporate Exchange server. Our Exchange server has HTTPS Internet web access, but just by entering that URL, he was able to configure the client to do imap with Exchange. This individual also says it can connect to iTunes and that he can download content - I was not aware that Apple permitted non-Apple clients to connect to the iTunes service. Hmm. That's a biggie. Of course there's some sort of Palm store too. Perhaps Amazon can be hooked up as well. Not sure on that... And there's an app on there called SprintTV. Not sure if this comes bundled with Sprint service plan or if is an extra cost option. Didn't get into any of the particulars about service plans. I rather liked this phone. Hope it does well. Am tempted to dump my Blackberry Perl, is just that the company pays for the blackberry and its service plan. If I got a PRE, I'd be on my own. Same with iPhone, though. So I stay in my Blackberry rut. Course can't knock the berry when it comes to corporate email, which is my life. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
