The Palm Pre. It's not just a phone, it's a myth, an idea, possibly a legacy... and a really,
reallylong time coming. It's almost impossible to believe, but the crew atEngadget has been talking about a Linux-based Palm phone since way
back in 2004.Through the now-distant years that followed, we were speculating,pontificating, and wishfully-thinking about a new device from a companythat we'd come to expect innovation from. But we waited. And waited.
And waited. We waited so long, in fact, that we actually
penned a lengthy open letter to Palm,pleading for the company to get back on its game. Only when the picturelooked really, truly bleak for the folks in Sunnyvale (you know, like$2 a share bleak) did we actually see a spark of hope -- two sparks, infact -- called the Pre and webOS.
Yes, this is epic stuff. ThePre (and its accompanying operating system) could likely decide thefate of the company largely credited with ushering in the age of thedo-everything phone. Since Palm's
announcement at CESthis year, news surrounding the Pre has been a veritable whirlwind ofactivity: rumors, half-truths, hate, love, fear-mongering, fanboyism,rampant gadget-lust... and even a little
late night celebrityfor the pint-sized phone. Finally the time has come to put rubber toroad and get into the guts of this thing once and for all. Can the Preand webOS live up to the hype -- the kind of hype we haven't seen sincethe launch of the original iPhone -- or do they snap under thepressure? Read on for the full review.
