Palm Pre: One of the Most Brilliant Products of 2009
Here's a great update that should make Palm Pre owners proud. PopularMechanic has named the first webOS device as one of the "10 Most Brilliant Products of 2009."
Here's how they describe the Sprint-exclusive handset:
The Palm Pre (which costs $200 with a contract from Sprint) doesn’t break ground with any one engineering advance. Instead, it sets a new standard by putting all the best available technologies together. Most cellphones—even high-end ones—excel at some tasks, while utterly ignoring others. The Palm Pre’s features read like a gadget geek’s wish list: optional inductive charging, a full keyboard, the ability to sync with iTunes—and it can run multiple applications at once. Sometimes more is more.
The inclusion of the device in this list shows that it is truly innovative and has made a splash in the industry.
Of course, it has also become cheaper since then. The Pre is now being sold for $149.99 on contract.
