[pic] This is why iPhone is better than Palm Pre

Posted on June 6, 2009

iPhone vs. Palm Pre

Some times it’s easy to be carried away by our tech enthusiasm, and lose perspective of what the general public is really interested in. Here’s an example: The launch lines for the original iPhone and the Pre.

The explanation is simple: The Apple marketing machine is mighty, huge, and was in hyperwarp mode months before the iPhone launched. Palm—on the other side—is tiny and irrelevant to most people out there except tech dorks like us.

    You’re an idiot. iPhone is better because a bunch of idiots lined up to get it the first day?

    Well, that’s Apple’s store on the 5th av., on the other hand, that’s not even Palm’s store, right?

    I own a 3G, but this comparison is kinda unfair.

    People waiting in line for hours for the Wii, does that make it better than the Xbox 360 or Playstation 3? People waited in lines for the Harry Potter book, does that mean it’s the best book ever? I love Apple as much as the next person, but numbers don’t mean anything.

    Indeed. iPhone is definitely more POPULAR than the Palm Pre. But better? Hmmm. Bring me background apps on the iPhone, then I’ll rethink on that.

    peter yan….you’re too obsessed with apple man. Go out and enjoy the fresh air mate.

    btw, just because a bunch of apple geeks line up for something, it doesnt make it the best. Reviewers have actually held the palm superior over the iphone fyi :)

  21. The pre crushes the iphone for 1 reason: freedom. I am free to do whatever i want with my phone, install anything i want, get down to the linux packages and pretty much tweek my phone to the max. Oh yeah and google voice works without running shady backdoor hacks. I love the pre. These pics just show the masses. The drones. the fools who pay for things like ringtones and music. Paying is for suckers and golly there are a lot out there. APPLE=AOL 10 years ago. Its so easy, i just hit one button to chat. Its so simple. Simple isn’t always good. Simple just makes you that.. simple. Real phone dorks hate the iphone. Theyd rather have a touch pro2 or the palm pre or nokia n97 and then hack away and do whatever they want with it. Id rather be a real dork and use my pre than a trendy hipster coffee fag.
