Palm is definitely trying for a comeback…
I was over on the blog mobiledivide, and came across this short video interview with Palm’s Stephanie Richardson (part of their marketing team). It’s the first really close up look I’ve had of the prē, and a great introduction into the thinking that went behind the device’s touch interface design:
From watching this video, I’ll think you’ll see why there’s so much buzz about this device. Palm shows an understanding of interface design that seems to have escaped all of the other recent touch-based phone offerings. My favorite feature of the prē is its “Synergy” feature that pulls contextually related content together into a single display view regardless of what more traditional ‘silo’ application it may live in. Very semantic web like. Intellectual property issues aside, this is clearly the most interesting development in the mobile space since the iPhone itself.
It will be exciting to see this actually launch…
Thanks to mobiledivide for this interview. It’s an excellent site and worth both a visit and an add to your favorite feed reader…
