A few years ago I swore by Palm PDAs and worked my way through a few of them. Specifically the Palm Pilot III, M125,  Tungsten T5,  Treo 650 and the Clie Peg UX50.

Each was great and I had a lot of use from all of them. Then all of a sudden Palm just didn’t seem to cut it with the other array of great PDA’s and smartphones on the market. The development of PalmOs seemed to stop at version 5 and although new devices were being released the OS software was stuck in the past. By the time Palm decided to start using Windows Mobile I was a fully paid up member of the Nokia S60 club and until the iPhone came along was convinced that Nokia could do no wrong.

Now I cant say I was all that excited about the announcement of the Palm Pre but check out this following NBC clip from ‘Late Night with Jimmy Fallon’. If it can truly be an iPhone beater only time will tell, but heck, Palm – you now have my attention!
