Just discoverd that in usb drive mode I can create folders, toss in pictures, pdfs, videos, & docs. This is soooo valuable to me for my business. Not sure about the newest iPhone but I know the previous version (my wife has) can not even save files, nevermind create user defined folders. THANKS PALM!

The battery life is already really comparable to the iPhone. You just have to tweak your settings (Brightness, 1 hour e-mail check, etc.).

I’m sick of waiting for new apps to come out. My brother-in-law is showing me all these great apps and games on his IPhone. I tell him I have Connect 4 as a game. What’s with that? I’ve got 3 days left to trade this thing back in to get an IPhone. Come on Palm and Sprint – GIVE US TOYS!!!!

Thanks Paul, this is an article regarding the 1.0.4 update for the Pre. Not your lame opinions. Figure it out.

Why are people posting iPhone crap here? This has nothing to do with Pre vs iPhone.

Yep I updated and the only thing is fixed loop hole for the homebrew apps, otherwise i see nothing, cause i dont use it for corp use. I love it. I never had issues with Sprint been with them for over 12yrs, always had coverage.

why why do iphone nuts commit on the pre if their happy with the iphone what a waste of time to be roaming the blogs. Get a life the last thing I would do is blog about the pre on a iphone blog.

plus the iphone is soooo much faster at loading apps and “save” state is the closest thing to background processing.

better music player + slightly better web browser + bigger screen + app store = better for ME. you guys seriously need to chill out it’s all personal preference and they are two phones my god. but i’m gonna stick with the iphone. i have never had any problems with at&t.

@ Dont-hate

you seem to be very ignorant with technology. the day that the pre hits 4g speeds ur iphone will look even more like crap. with 4g the speeds would be about 4x’s faster than 3g so.. cant wait to see get destroyed and devastated by your fail as phone.. oh btw i like that yearly update where apple made it possible to compy and paste and highlight… hmm i though apple said that wasnt a feature wonder why they pushed it out…. ahahahaha thats right they noticed they failed at desiging a better phone that cant even do simple things

there is no logic in comparing wm and the Pre where hacking is concerned. Palm cannot continue to exist if it requires hackers for its support. what Palm does require for the Pre is to become a staple commodity. that requires commercial success. commercial success requires broad consumer support. broad consumer support will not be based on hacking. broad consumer support will view the Pre and all of webos as a closed system. there is no way around that as that is by Palm’s design. unfortunate for your fucked argument, celz.

@ ungodly how can a true statement be dripping with bias.. palms relaxed attitude to the hackini or home brew community is great.. that may be the only reason wm is still around.. and how is stating what the article said spinning it.. if your gonna call me out than do it and show where im wrong

Did it fix the crappy plastic hardware?

Is it now less likely to fall apart?

Does the update make Sprint a viable cell phone company?

Oh well.

Douche- n. One who buys a bloated, unfinnished, overpriced media player that pretends/sucks as a phone and gets in line for an ass raping by a spotty coverage provider over, over, over, over… AKA Dont-hate. No multitasking after 3rd gen OS. At least you have plenty of iPhart apps.

Palm pre webos probably will make palm pre stronger to compete with the other device in the market

You sir are an Inbred-Retarded-ASS-Monkey!
There are NO phones in the US market that are 4G.

3GS is much faster on loading web pages. My wife picked up one over the weekend and it delivers a better web experience.

I’m ditching the Pre because of Sprint’s network. No service at work = no phone. To bad, because I hate giving it up. The form factor is better than the iphone and the keyboard is easy to get used to. Overall I like the experience better. But I need it to be my phone 1st, so it has to go back.

I have a 3GS coming in the mail today. Maybe I’ll ditch it when the Pre hits verizon (or ATT)

@ Dont-hate

FYI – The Palm Pre cannot do 4G. Lots of rumors are flying that it will be the first 4G capable phone from Sprint BUT it does not currently have the firmware to run on a 4G network even if the tester was in a 4G zone.

@ Brendan
My 3G S was faster. I did the test with the people in the video, my Iphone was about 4 to 5 seconds faster. Now did u hear the guy when he said the Pre was on 4G? and mine is only on 3G. Damn I can only imagine how faster it is going to get when AT&T upgrades to 7.2 Mbps. It’s going to be like ur going to be like WoW.

I’ve just downloaded the update. Awww..no more app loophole? hehehe.

Doesn’t matter..the Palm Pre is absolutely amazing. Don’t understand why people write about iPhone 3Gs here when it’s apparent that the Palm Pre can do everything the iPhone can do and more.

True multitasking? Pre..yes, iPhone..failed
Works as USB Flash Drive? Pre..yes, iPhone..failed
Real Keyboard? Pre..yes, iPhone..failed
Turn-by-turn GPS navigation software? Pre..yes, iPhone..failed

Unfortunately this doesn’t fix the lack of EAS enforcement.

No prompt to set a password / timeout based on your EAS policy as well no Remote Wipe functionality
