As we've been working on applications for the Palm Pre, lots of people have been asking us a lot of questions, most of which we couldn't really answer yet.
One of the big areas people asked about was what the phone was like. And we just weren't allowed to say that much to date. But with the launch only two days away, the press has been given a look at the phone, and the response has been overwhelming. And I'm not talking about the Palm trade press, but folks who have been pretty hard to impress, including some big fans of Apple products for years, people like David Pogue, and Walter Mossberg.
So I thought I'd share with you some of the recent articles:
- David Pogue, in the New York Times: Palm Pre, Elegant Contender
- Walt Mossberg, in the Wall Street Journal: Palm's New Pre Takes On iPhone
- Peter Svensson, The Associated Press Review: Dazzling Palm software beats the iPhone
- Engadget's Joshua Toplosky: Palm Pre Review
We're excited to see such leading journalists in the tech space share our enthusiasm for this great new platform. We're ready to build more great apps for the platform, too, so if you're interested in how we can help, give us a shout.
It's the first Wednesday of the month again, and that means it's time for the Pivotal Labs/Outside.In monthly Ruby Happy Hour. It's the first one since GoRuCo, so there's even more to talk about than usual. (Thanks Josh, Francis, and everyone else who made this a great conference again this year.)
Where: Outside.in, 20 Jay St Suite 1019 (10th Fl), Brooklyn, NY
When: 7-9PM today, Wednesday June 3rd
Who: If you’re a developer who uses Ruby and would like to meet some other Ruby folks, toss around ideas, or just have a few beers, we welcome you with open arms!
There will be pizza, beer, and great discussions for everyone. More details on the Outside.In Blog, and please RSVP if you can, so we know how much pizza to get.
