Palm Pre at best buy
Technology and electronics have always held a fascination for me and I enjoy reading about new and emerging technology. Currently, I have a TC1100 Slate Tablet PC (that’s my main computer), a Nokia 9500 Communicator, a Nokia 7380 (just for fun and a secondary cell phone), a Planon Pen Scanner and various health related technology that I can carry around when I travel. Onto today’s post!
Where can you get the new Palm Pre? Only at Best Buy, says WebOS Arena (via Engadget), and for only 60 days.
Engadget did a great review and write up while at the CES convention recently. They were duly impressed with the UI and ensuing animations. They even say it’s better in some ways than the iPhone!
