iPhone 3G Vs iPhone 3G S Vs Palm Pre, Which one will you choose?
The rumor is over, Apple finally announce the next generation iPhone 3G - iPhone 3G S at WWDC 2009 on June 8th, Don't let appearances fool you. On the outside nothing looks much different with the iPhone 3G. Meanwhile, Palm Pre is available at Sprint on June 6th, and the touchstone Pre sale out fast at the first weekend, long line waiting for the Spring Pre. So how will Apple's iPhone 3G s compare to the Palm Pre? I've put together a chart for a quick glance at how they stack up (see below).
Obviously, the iPhone 3G S features as faster speed, larger pixel camera, voice control, video recording, longer battery life, support to cut, copy and paste word and photos compared to iPhone 3G. In contrary, iPhone 3g is not good for nothing, the low price (only $99 for new AT&T subscribers) is the biggest advantage.
Then compared to Palm Pre, large capacity (16gb & 32gb is available for iPhone 3G S, only 8GB for Pre), camera auto focus, voice control, powerful and widely support App Store maybe the main advantage for Apple iPhone 3G S. However, the Palm Pre also has their own advantage, such as the Pre's camera has an LED flash, touchstone technology, layered calendars etc.
Besides, both iPhone and Palm Pre expert as great media players, and iPhone 3G S allows you watch YouTube video on-the-go, just a pity both of them support a limit music/movies format (see above chart), and some popular video format such as WMV, AVI, FLV can't play on them, if it attach with a third part software called video converter which can convert between any video format, it will act as perfect media player..
But the final battle between the iPhone 3G S and the Palm Pre will be carried out on June 19, when Apple's new device is to hit the stores. Besides the obvious storage capacity and price difference, each buyer will have to carefully consider which one fits you best.
iPhone 3G (low price, only $99), iPhone 3G S (so cool but much expensive), Palm Pre (also great but not cheap), then which one will you choose?

Either way you look at it Microsoft Data Center management did not follow standards or best practices in this failure. In which case it makes me wonder more about the outsourcing of corporate data much less personal data.

new iphone 3gs
My brother said palm pre is a new iphone 3g, and even better than iphone 3gs, but I don't think so, as iphone fans, iphone 3gs is irreplaceable for it's apple logo, apple appearance and something 'iphone', another excellence, iphone 3gs comes as new iphone 3g, so the iphone 3gs converter comes as a new DVD to iphone 3gs Converter softwareKeyboard?
You left out one of the Pre's biggest advantages - the slide-out keyboard. Anyone who's ever tried to type an email on the iPhone will tell you how horrible it is trying to type on the touch screen.palm pre
Actuaaly, that's the cool pre.
