What did you Leave for webOS?
Clearly anybody who bought a Palm Pre was migrating from some other OS. So from whom did Palm poach the most users? If you were to ask the members of the PreCentral forum, a full 39% of them would say that they left behind a Windows Mobile handset. That’s more than any other mobile OS, even Palm’s own old-school Palm OS, which 28% of Pre owners used to use. Rounding it out was BlackBerry OS at 15%, iPhone OS at 6%, and Android, Symbian, and Sidekick each registering less than 1% on the meter. Ten percent of Pre owners used a different operating system, with most of those switching from non-smartphone handsets.
We're guessing a healthy portion of that WinMo segment include Windows Mobile Treos. Even so, it does look like, at least amongst our users, the Pre is managing to convert a sizable number of people to the platform.
A pretty graph and a chance for you blog-reading folks to chime in, after the break!
Twee: A New Beta Twitter App For The Palm Pre
Twee, a new Twitter application for the Palm Pre, is currently available as an open beta. It has a decidedly TouchFlo feel to the UI that we're digging (one-touch to get to replies = win) and has some other unique features, though in some cases it's not quite as fully-featured as the other two.
We're also fond of the local search (see who's twittering around you) and quick shortcuts to Trends, Twiturly, and url shortening, but we're hoping for more photo options beyond Tweetphoto.
You'll need to be able to install homebrew apps to install it, but if you're a Twitter fiend, a third option is nice to have.
