Pre Browser does Google Docs, Reader 6

Google Docs on the Palm Pre Browser Google Reader on the Palm Pre browser

The big question (one of them) surrounding the Palm Pre is just how good is the browser? We know it’s based off the same open-source WebKit engine as the iPhone’s Safari browser, but the robustness of its features has been up in the air for, well, five months now. Thanks to Darth Pooh in our forums and his magical Pre access, we can note that the Pre’s browser is fairly robust, as it can handle both Google Docs (spreadsheet) and Reader, as seen above. They are the iPhone versions of the sites, but that’s not a bad thing by any measure.

i personally hate the iphone version of google reader. it's sometimes too small to read.. and it won't let me zoom in!

does anyone know if you can email a story from google reader to someone in your contacts and if so, can you email to groups like "friends" on gmail contacts?

Here's my question about the browser. Can you open a link in a new "card?".

(sent from my iTouch--took me half an hour to type this on the stupid soft keyboard. Man I can't wait to get my hands on this thing!!
