Just can’t get enough Pre? Want to experience the magic of being at the presentation from the comforts of your arm chair? You’re in luck. Palm captured the presentation in its entirety, and it’s now available online.
With the Apple MacWorld keynote being relatively lackluster (and, perhaps most importantly, Jobs-less), Palm’s timing and execution of this press event really couldn’t have been better. Palm has swooped in and nailed it out in a very Apple-esque fashion, and it’s paying off. They kept it just secret enough to build the hype, launched a good product, had it presented by someone who is genuinely passionate about it, and then put the whole thing online for the intensely interested.
difference between this presentation and the mac one – the main difference! It kept stopping.
What kept stopping? I assume you meant the mac, but who cares.
PALM IS BACK BAYBAY!

I saw the presentation this morning and I found it very “Steve Jobs Keynote” like, which isn’t a bad thing. People finally starting to get something that Apple knew for a long time: first impression is crucial and you only have one chance to do it right.
Good job, though I’m not a fan of design of the hardware itself.
I’m loving all the Arrested Development references.
End of 1st half 2009? Did they just effectively put up a stop sign for potential buyers of their existing products for the next six months? That is a long holding period to suffer through with revenue drops.

Looks nice but I hope it has a Word App and available wireless key board so I can take notes in my board meetings more quickly than the Full Qwerty Keypad allows
Welp, I didn’t think it would happen, but I’ve found something to replace my iphone. My contract with ATT will be up when this comes out too, which is extra rad.

Great keynote. Elegant and gorgeous WebOS..
But…
Sprint blows ass – worse than AT&T.
Two great devices – the iPhone and Palm Pre. Neither of which I’ll get to use because of the shitty carrier.
I hope “Google Phone” version 2 comes out soon. My Sprint contract ends next month.
I’ve used Sprint for almost 8 years, and I disagree with your assessment that “Sprint blows ass – worse than AT&T”. I have almost never had any trouble with Sprint’s coverage. I’m from the SF Bay Area.
After having watched the video I can say the Palm Pre kicks iPhone’s ass in terms of usability, multi-tasking with flipping applications, seamless integration of the cloud, checking the calendar while on the speaker phone, unobstrusive notifications. Wow!
Here’s a direct link, for people who don’t want to mess with the crappy apple quicktime browser plugin: http://palmone.r3h.net/downloads.palm.com/ces2.mov
In some ways it’s a better user interface than the iphone – kind of what you would expect in a next generation iphone with the live windows. Hopefully Palm has the resources to give Apple a run for their money – someone has to, it’s good for the industry.
It is amazing that Palm finally came through with a product and platform that crosses the bar set by iPhone. The UI and gestures seem to be better than in my iPhone, and switching between applications and un-obstructing notifications seems classy, and I want to connected to the cloud the way Pre does it man! Can’t wait for the product to be available!
“Yes, we have phones and internet in Mexico”, WTF is wrong with this guy!!!!???!!!??? He should be aware of what Mexico’s bussines means to his poor designed, lazy OS, wanna be kind of brand, before spiting out this sort of comments. He should also know that TELMEX, TELCEL, AMERICA MOVIL, IUSACEL and so on, are TOP GLOBAL BRANDS and that one of them could easily buy that ugly, no worthie, cheap company named PALM.
Now I have NO respect for this brand or w h a t s o e v e r.
He wasn’t making a negative statement about Mexico. He was making a statement about the more-than-likely negative perceptions SOME members of the audience might have of Mexico. In other words, he was slamming those in the audience who hold those backward perceptions while at the same time promoting the modernity and progressiveness of Mexico that HE’S EXPERIENCED FIRSTHAND. Now, you might want to re-interpret and re-think your position on his comments and maybe redeem yourself with an acknowledgement that you blew it.
