Today’s smartphones are much like computers whereby great software will sell the hardware; this of course remains to be seen with the Palm Pre once it launches on the 6th of June. The lack of applications on the Palm Pre may cause a problem as apps usually help the sell.
Applications are the name of the game with new smartphones and with the new iPhone arriving with the new iPhone OS 3.0 the Palm Pre are going to face some stiff competition according to product-reviews.
We all know Palm has a rather bad history within certain circles and this history could cause problems when it comes to developers and their support for the Palm Pre. The iPhone is way ahead of the game with mobile applications, a game that Palm may find difficult to catch up in.
