Palm Pre Vs Iphone

Making a choice between the Palm Pre vs. iPhone is largely a personal decision. Both of these phone devices have a stylish appearance, come equipped with the latest mobile internet capabilities and various multimedia options. However, one of the advantages of the iPhone is seamless integration with other Apple applications and devices. Brand name recognition, popularity and prestige is also more likely to draw a potential buyer to the iPhone.

The Palm Pre is manufactured by Hewlett-Packard and features a small, sleek design with a fold out keyboard. True to its name, the device is able to fit into the palm of your hand and displays bright, clear graphic capability. The phone features a touch screen with the ability to use the keyboard as an alternate method of menu navigation. The Palm Pre comes preloaded with WebOS 2.0 software which is great for multitasking, universal web searches and syncing text messages with social networks.

The internet and data capabilities of the Palm Pre are impressive. In addition to e-mail, messaging and web browsing, the phone also features YouTube, Amazon MP3 downloads, Bluetooth capability, a built in MP3 player, and a camera that features several picture modes. A GPS system is built-into the Palm Pre along with several productivity applications such as Adobe Reader, Microsoft Quickoffice and conference calling capabilities.

Apple's iPhone is a coveted wireless device that features a touch screen and a touch on-screen keypad. The phone has high-definition recording and editing capabilities, a 5-Megapixel camera with LED flash and the ability to multitask with third-party applications. One of the more attractive features of the iPhone is its ability to integrate seamlessly with other Apple devices such as the iPod and the iTunes MP3 store. The phone's built-in GPS system not only helps a user navigate unfamiliar roads, but also helps locate a missing iPhone device from any computer. 

Additional features that make the iPhone an attractive choice are voice control which tells the phone to play a certain song or place a particular call, video streaming capabilities, built-in e-reader capabilities, and a built-in movie editor that allows users to share content with each other. The iPhone features the Safari web browser, music video playback and the ability to send documents to an assigned printer. The iPhone truly gives users a rich multimedia experience from the touch of a screen.
