My brother lost his Palm Treo recently in a tide pool in California. This is a great metaphor for what has happened to Palm over the last few years.

Well. After checking out today’s preview of the ‘PRE’, their new smart phone, I’m thinking they may have turned a corner. It won’t take down the iphone, but–if priced less and with a little luck– it could take solid second.

And Palm has a ‘green’ approach to their company, so that’s why I’m stoked to see them fighting with this new product, as well.

Here are some articles on the “PRE” :

BTW,
here’s that other ‘PRE’. And who knows…maybe it’s OS will run faster, and it’s battery last longer than it’s competitors, too. :)
