Apple iPhone 3GS vs. Palm Pre: In Real Life

10.07.2009

And the Winner Is...

Okay, so Apple's iPhone 3GS is faster and more refined, has more apps and games, functions better as an MP3 player, and apparently walks on water. So of course that means I'm going with...the Pre? Yep, I'm stubbornly sticking with the Pre, for a handful of reasons. First, I like the physical keyboard. Second, I need my phone to plug into any PC and read as a normal hard drive so that I can drag and drop anything I want (even though it has only a lousy 8GB). Third, AT&T's monthly rates would kill me.

Don't think I'm ditching the dork holster just yet, though. I'm actually considering getting an iPod Touch just for the apps (!). Besides, that holster makes me look like a nebbishy Starsky (or) Hutch.
