iPhone of year 2007 vs Palm PRE of year 2009

posted on: Sunday 7th June 2009
When Steve Jobs said that their iPhone is years ahead of competition, I never thought that this would turn out to be a genuine statement. It so sad to see how Palm had to hired tons of Apple engineers, spend so much money and years only to come 'close' and to 'resemble' a device that Apple created back in 2007.  Why can't other big competitors coup up with Apple, even when everything is laid out to them, I will never understand.  I hate Apple and rest of the world for this.  I bought Palm PRE.  $325 and $70/m.  How do I get out of this!

  1. Easy, take a breath, relax, wait for the SDK to get released and for apps to start filling the app store. That's really how Apple is years ahead of everyone else - a fully operational death star, I mean app store. But remember Apple didn't have even an app store or an SDK when they first released the iPhone. Palm has done a splendid job with the Pre and I'm cautiously optimistic that it will serve me for at least a couple of years :)

  2. I am not bashing PRE. but my concern is why everyone only comes 'close' to what iPhone is. Not better? Just hold the iPhone and hold the Pre, you will know what a huge difference in quality. Just flick through iPhone and flick through Palm PRE, and you will know the difference... My point is why can't they do better? why would people switch? to feel sympathize for Palm?
