  1. Palm Pre
    (2009)

    Pirmasis telefonu su webOS operacine sistema, kuri buvo gerokai pralenkusi savo laiką. Šį modelį yra būtina prisiminti, norint suprasti, iš kur atsirado šiuolaikinis valdymas gestais ir belaidis krovimas, be Palm Pre šiandieninis iPhone, Samsung ar kitas išmanusis telefonas atrodytų visai kitaip.

    3,1 colio TFT jutiklinis ekranas, TI OMAP 3430 procesorius, 256 MB RAM, 8 GB vidinės atminties (be plėtros), 3,2 MP kamera su LED blykste (be video), webOS 1.0, CDMA/GSM su HSPA, Wi-Fi b/g, Bluetooth 2.1, A-GPS, qwerty klaviatūra, belaidis krovimas, 1150 mAh Li-Ion baterija (iki 5 val. pokalbių, 300 val. budėjimo), dydis 100,5 x 59,6 x 16,9 mm, svoris 135 g.

    Deja, techninė įranga neatitiko programinės genialumo - telefonas jautėsi pigus, plastikas greitai skilinėjo, o klaviatūra buvo nepatogi. Palm, vėliau nupirkta HP, nesugebėjo pritraukti kūrėjų ir nuostabusis webOS atsidūrė... LG televizoriuose.

  2. Sad day when I gave up coding for it and sold the lot. I went all in on this ecosystem and had fun with it. Very different than today’s big two. Sailfish and the Linux distros like Droidian have a long way to go to catch up.

  3. Still annoyed that hp ruined webOS and Palm. Annoyed AF right now.

  4. Happy Palm Pre/webOS day to those who celebrate. #webos #palmpre

  5. Doing some software archaeology with @jimmac today, looking at webOS on the Touchpad and Palm Pre.

    It's very cool to see how far ahead of its time this was, and also how many elements from it survived in GNOME in some form! And of course, the multitasking is still unmatched by any more recent mobile platform :)

  6. @arstechnica so it only took the rest of the world 15 years to catch up to the best phone (and OS) there ever was, the #PalmPre
    The UX of the #Touchstone charger was just perfection!

  7. On this International Day of #Slayer, I will celebrate by blasting Reign In Blood and remember the greatest OS ever, #webOS. In the wee hours of June 6, 2009, I stood in line at the Sprint store on Mission St to acquire my first Palm Pre. The rounded bar-of-soap shape fit so nicely in my hand. The slide and click to open and close was so satisfying. Synergy, Just Type, and true multi-tasking made life so easy. #webOS and #PalmPre will always be in my heart. #NeverForget #webOSday

    Well, the #PalmPre is probably closer to those devices. The #OpenMoko reminds me of the times, when I had more time but far less knowledge of hacking.

  9. in that case I have no use for this device #palmpre
