Palm Pre reviews are in


Early reviews of the Pre are pretty positive though I've seen complaints about the keyboard (see the review by Jason Chen of Gizmodo for example). Most reviewers love the Web OS though.

Will this be an iPhone killer? Unlikely because as a few reviewers point out, thanks to the iPhone, apps are now an important part of the buying decision for smartphones and Palm currently doesn't have a very good app store (not many apps). Downloading an app also managed to wipeout the data on Walt Mossberg's Pre.

Reviews from around the web:

Walt Mossberg, Wall Street Journal.
David Pogue, New York Times
Joshua Topolsky, Engadget
Jason Chen, Gizmodo
