Bell's big play in the smartphone space, the Palm Pre is days away from shipping in Canada and it will be very interesting to see how this will play out. For Palm, its their major move to reclaim space in the smartphone arena they defined and at one point ruled with their Treo series which ended up running Windows Mobile as an OS because Palm's own OS was sadly lacking. Now with the new WebOS, its possible that Palm will rise from the ashes and once more dominate the smartphone market.
Bell's a Ringing
For Bell, the Palm Pre, represents its first major non-BlackBerry smartphone OS and direct competitor to Apple's iPhone and Google's Android handsets which have been visible since their respective launches from rival Rogers.
We are awaiting the arrival of our Palm Pre and will put it through its paces. We look forward to reviewing WebOS, the Pre apps and and how the device works the day to day environment.
