Palm Pre launch date has been confirmed by Sprint a few days ago. Some features of Palm Pre has been revealed which persuade that Palm Pre is a competitor device to the iPhone 3G or in other words we can say Palm Pre is an iPhone killer.
Here we put up a comparison between Palm Pre and iPhone. Have a look and decide by yourself which one is superior: iPhone or Palm Pre?
iPhone Vs Palm Pre
iPhone 3G
|

| talk time: 5 h, standby time: 300h According to Apple, multiple activities require more power from battery, and iPhone is not capable to do that. |
No information available. Palm Pre is capable to run more applications simultaneously, where as So, we can say that Palm Pre has more powerful battery because it could do multi-tasking. |

| Universal Search | |
| No, but included in iPhone OS 3.0 | Yes |
| App Store | |
| Apple App Store is equipped with 46,000 applications. | Not confirmed |
…
The conclusion of current iPhone and Palm Pre comparison is that Palm Pre looks better and powerful due to its processing, features and some other specifications but when we put iPhone OS 3.0 as a part of this comparison then it results that iPhone OS 3.0 will offer so many other features which would probably be as similar as that of Palm Pre.
Anyway these are just our own perception based on the available info, the final result come out soon, when Palm Pre became part of practical circumstances then it would be easy to make a clearer point of view that which device is a winner or which one stood runner up.

Hi!
what do you mean, purchase first iPhone and then talk about something? I’ve it already and want to inform you, DO NOT TIE ASSES WITH HORSES. Read specifications of Palm Pre carefully, compare with your device and then comment!!
