This guest post i written by LaptopLogic.com – a great site to find more informations on smartphones, netbooks and laptops. Also check out their laptop finder section to find out what laptop brand you should go for.
With more than 32 million smartphones sold in the first quarter of 2009 its become obvious that they are here to stay. Many of the smartphones all share the same features, web browsing, media player, calendar, games and more. Most all have QWERTY keyboards and cameras as well. They almost all offer very vibrant screens and offer a sleek design. With everything, there are always slight differences and that is what you should consider when looking at various smart phones. Does the phone work with your PC or Macintosh? Will it connect with existing software you have like Entourage or will it work with all your music and movies you have stored on your laptop? These are things to keep in mind when considering a new phone, especially a smartphone.
Palm Pre Versus Apple iPhone – Popular vs. Practical
There is no doubt that the Apple iPhone is one of the most talked about gadgets, let alone phones, on the market today. At the time it was released it truly changed the landscape of what cell phones can do and offer. It forced every other manufacturer to play catch up. Certainly Palm was forced to do some catching up. The Palm Pre definitely has some great features and did steal some ideas from the iPhone but then every manufacturer has had to steal something from the iPhone. While the Pre uses a sliding keyboard rather than a touch screen like on an Iphone it still does get the job done but still falls a little short of the iPhone. If you are a PC user you may find that the Pre works better with your computer and existing software. The Pre also has a cut and paste feature which the iPhone does not. The Pre will also allow you to both send and receive photos via text, the iPhone does not.
Palm Pre Versus Apple iPhone – The Gadget of the Year
There is no doubt that the iPhone was the gadget of the year. It has become a fashion statement for most people. To some people you just aren’t “cool” unless you have one. The iPhone undoubtedly offers the most features with all the additional applications or “apps” that can be downloaded on the iTunes store. The iPhone has an incredible user interface and software, a sleek design and it’s very user friendly. Both phones offer many of the same features, the iPhone has quite a few bells and whistles but if you’re only interested in a practical phone then they are really in a dead heat. Depending on whom you talk to you will hear a whole variety of responses regarding the Pre, iPhone or any other smartphone out there. The best idea is to go to the store and try some out; hold them, use some of the features and see what works best for you. In the end they are both very reliable, convenient and fun cell phones.

Wow. Talk about a huge omission. The Pre has BOTH a physical keyboard like a Blackberry AND a capacitive multi-touch screen like the iPhone. No need to choose which you like better, because there’s now a device with both. In what way does that “fall a little short of the iPhone”? Sounds to me like the iPhone is the one falling short.

I believe that the reduced point of entry for the iPhone (now $99) was one of the significant points of the recent announcemenet and demonstrates Apples willingness to move from boutique brand to mass market.
The limiting factor long term is Apples operator exclusivity arrangmenets. People will increasingly become resentful of the lack of choice unless this is addressed. I suspect the standard phone will eventually be available on all networks, with the advanced models exclusive to the incumbant operators.

I for one stick with the iPhone. Apple has that really neat look to it as a business and they added that to their products. The fact that you can download so much stuff from iTunes makes it even more popular. And with the new 3.0 OS, it makes iTunes U accessible from wi-fi and cellular networks, so learning on the road won’t mean carrying around books and papers.
The iPhone and Apple products are very “youth-friendly” if you can call it that.
