Palm Pre in PC Magazine's Best Tech Products of 2009
Palm has returned with the coolest handheld device we've seen in a long time. The Palm Pre has the same exhilarating sense of possibility as the iPhone—and it's even worth switching to Sprint for. The Pre is the start of something genuinely new: Palm's webOS, an innovative operating system that's benefited a lot by what the company has learned from Apple's smartphone successes.
I think it's that "sense of possibility" that's really exciting. Palm has already accomplished a lot in these last 2 years and especially in these last 6 months - fundamentally restructuring their business, building an innovative new operating system and launching two new handsets based on that new OS is no small feat. The company is packed to the gill with talent, has a strong management team, and is poised to continue to push the envelope in what's possible with mobile computing. I think it's fairly safe to assume that we'll be seeing some of Palm's products on many of these same lists come the end of next year.
