Meaningless boasting. All that matters (to me at least) are the few
great ones you need or want -- I personally couldn't care less about the
other 99%, many (most?) of which are dreck.
My phone does most of what I need right out of the box,
and the rest is a matter of only a half-dozen great J2ME apps.

Even though it's brand new, Palm Pre already has Palm Synergy (Google,
Facebook, Exchange) and other sync options.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

The new platform introduces Palm Synergy, a key feature of webOS
that brings your information from all the places it resides into one
logical view. You don't have to worry about tracking multiple
calendars, contacts and messaging applications - Synergy brings it to
you for a more comprehensive and truly representative view of your
life.

* Linked contacts - With Synergy, you have a single view that links
your contacts from a variety of sources, so accessing them is easier
than ever. For example, if you have the same contact listed in your
Outlook, Google and Facebook accounts, Synergy recognizes that
they're the same person and links the information, presenting it to
you as one listing. And if you update a contact on your webOS device,
it also will be updated in your various accounts, whether on a
personal computer or on the web.

* Layered calendars - Your calendars can be seen on their own or
layered together in a single view, combining work, family, friends,
sports teams, or other interests. You can toggle to look at one
calendar at a time, or see them all at a glance.

* Combined messaging - Synergy lets you see all your conversations
with the same person in a chat-style view, even if it started in IM
and you want to reply with text messaging. You can also see who's
active in a buddy list right from contacts, and start a new
conversation with just one touch.

If the iPhone is really so impressive,
why do fans keep making excuses for it?
