CES 2009 is long since over, but details of the Palm Pre are still trickling out. Take this latest video from MobileDivide, for example – it’s largely a recap of stuff we’ve known for a while, but it packs in two little morsels that had previously gone unnoticed:
- Drag-to-unlock: Similar to the iPhone’s “Slide to unlock” mechanism, except optimized for one-handed, ambidextrous unlocking. Simply drag the unlock object out of the circle, and the Pre wakes up.
- Spacebar triggered camera shutter: Rather than forcing you to capture that once-in-a-lifetime shot with a easily missed touchscreen button or making you reach for a dedicated Camera button, the spacebar is repurposed as the photo snap button when in camera mode.
Every detail that comes out about the Pre indicates that they’ve put a fairly absurd amount of thought into every granule of the user experience. We can’t wait.

Its like only 4mins long, like dude…
Anyway, while im here.. watching the vid, something struck me, i dont want to be waving my hand around the phone to do stuff, you would look a such fool on the train.
I see iPhone users doing this sort of thing and they look like right plonkers, what we need is a frikkin lazer dpad to do that stuff so you dont have move to much round the device and can do it one handed… ahem.
I’m actually pretty impressed by this guy. Still have several concerns–one’s the processor. There is a ton of things running in the bg on this guy.
Also, not to start some fanboy rant but I think apple can make a legal case with some gui infringements.
Hi kyle, there’s been some talk about this on the web lately, and I just found this really informative in-depth analysis of the matter that takes a really objective approach to it. If you’re really interested, maybe you should read it.
Here’s one quote: “… people seem to have forgotten that Palm is a comeback story — it’s been in the game since 1992, and it’s got a pretty hefty patent portfolio of its own.”
Along with this one: “… Palm has literally hundreds of patents of its own, and we managed to dig up four that seem to directly implicate the iPhone in just a few hours of searching…”
Let’s just say it’s not all clear as to what could happen yet, and let’s just hope Apple and Palm don’t do something stupid and if necessary come to some sort of agreement because I really want Palm Pre as soon as possible. :)
