HP Pre3 WebOS phone (Photo credit: Tom Raftery)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

A big leap – from webOS 1.3.5.1 to webOS 1.4 indeed. Had\u00a0Palm<\/a>\u00a0bundled out this version initially when they launced the Palm Pre last June 2009, it could have probably taken some bite off Apple’s iPhone -or, even Blackberry’s – stranglehold on the smartphone market!<\/p>\n

webOS 1.4 was the “real webOS” Palm was suppose\u00a0to showcase their new smartphone\u00a0at the\u00a02009 CES in Las Vegas, but dwindling revenues and pressure from Palm’s biggest investor –\u00a0Elevation Partners<\/a>– to put out a product as soon as possible, probably resulted in the initial version that lacked a not only video recording capability but also was too slow and sucked-up power too quickly from the battery.<\/p>\n

But, why is the iPhone still so popular compared to Palm’s Pre and Pixi running webOS 1.4\u00a0 when the iPhone simply runs on a mobile version of\u00a0Mac OS X<\/a>?\u00a0 Three reasons:<\/p>\n

1) Long time\u00a0Apple fans.\u00a0 Apple had been\u00a0in the\u00a0personal computer business for too long and has an established\u00a0cult following.\u00a0 These are the same folks who bought iPhones when they were initially released.<\/p>\n

2) Hardware elegance and software reliablity.\u00a0 Like their iMacs, MacBooks and Mac Pros, the iPhone was so elegantly designed using top-notched materials.\u00a0 While the Palm Pre could stand up to the iPhone\u00a0with its well-conceived and\u00a0elegant industrial design as well, the materials they used on the Pre could not.\u00a0 The Pres used too much plastic & screens that cracked very easily when the USB charging cable was recklessly attached.<\/p>\n

3) Steve Jobs.\u00a0 Steve is the ultimate tech hardware showman.\u00a0 And he really knows how to whet the appetites of long time Apple fans as well as new ones.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
