Palm Pre is Foundationally Open Source
Before (or Pre) this year's Computer Electronic Show, I was not thinking about Palm. My current Palm Centro is slow, too small, and all of the apps are really old. I had decided on waiting for a Google Android phone for the Sprint network.
Then CES happened... The new Pre looks like a character from Wall-e. Applications can be developed using JavaScript, HTML, and CSS (well that's a great tool box - seriously - think gmail). The keyboard appears to be more accommodating and the foundation of this eggy looking device is Linux. Finally applications can be managed like a deck of cards and they maintain their state as you move from app to app.
So, if at possible, I would like to save up enough funds to purchase one of these little devices when they arrive at a local store later this year. I'll keep you posted if I'm able to get one.
