How are you liking the Pre’s Keyboard?
The Palm Pre keyboard: subject of much debate, compared to the iPhone's software keyboard ad nauseam, bigger than a Centro, about the size of a Treo Pro, positively tiny compared to a BlackBerry Bold. Chicklet, just right, one-handed, clicky, mushy... it's been a lot of things to a lot of people.
Lately, though, I've been taking it for granted - it has becomes invisible to me in that it 'just works.' Perhaps I have magic thumbs, perhaps the keyboard has some mystical qualities I haven't discovered, perhaps I've just used QWERTY smartphones for so long that I have a warped perspective on these things. Basically, though, the keyboard has become a non-issue for me in the sense that I don't even think about it anymore, I just use the darn thing without issue.
How about you? How's that Palm Pre keyboard treating ya?
Dear Palm: What I’d like in the next update
We know that webOS and the Palm Pre are 1.0 1.1 products, so we’re going to cut you some slack for now. But that slack is starting to run out, and looking at the competition there are some areas where I think you could improve the Pre to both catch up to and leap frog over iPhone and BlackBerry and Android. So here’s what I'd like to see in the way of software updates before that slack runs out and the real complaining starts.
My list is after the break, and it’s by no means comprehensive. Feel free to sound off in the comments if there’s something you think should be added in!
Oh, and Palm, this isn't an ultimatum or anything. It's a wishlist. Of stuff I want. So consider it a shopping list, and you're the grocery store. Some things we can do without, but others are staple items that we need to get through the week, and if you don't have it, we might have to go across town to the other grocery to get it. After a while, that can get kind of old and we might consider just going to the other store. We don't want to, as it's simply not as nice, but they have a lot of what we need.
