Brad Alperin of 360i got the Palm Pre on Friday. WebOS, multitasking, unified discussions and contact list. Nice form factor. Feels right. Pinch & squeeze UI. Automatic portrait landscape switching. Task switching looks like iPhone safari page switching. Cursor-shift-drag gesture area to copy. The way the gesture area works seems to have innovations that reveal artistry and real vision. Exciting to see an alternative computing platform reinvented and re-emerging with a vengence. Echos of the amazing Commodore Amiga—but hopefully with a brighter outlook.
