The death of the Palm has been much talked about for the past few years. When Windows Mobile stepped up the game with version 6.1, the Palm OS just couldn’t keep up. They tried a few tricks, such as refurbished interface for the Centro, but to no avail.By the time the Apple iPhone came on the scene with its incredible computing experience, Palm was beaten. The company that started the trend of personal digital assistants (PDA) suddenly seemed as if it was at the wrong end of the shotgun, waiting with a blindfold and its last cigarette.

But there were rumblings within Apple about a mutiny. Apparently there was a rift within the development team for the iPhone. News started trickling through the grapevine about a lot of Apple developers being poached by palm. What was palm thinking?

The answer came at this year’s Consumers Electronic Show, as the company unveiled a new touchscreen device – the Palm Pre – and a new Operating System to go with it, the WebOS. If you were enamoured when you saw the iPhone OS, wait till you get a load of Palm’s offering. The WebOS, for me, was love at first sight.

In a demonstration video, the WebOS was faster, slicker, better looking and seemed more user-friendly than any operating system I have seen. One of the most talked-about features is it’s ability to multi-task, running several applications at the same time without slowing down the device. The iPhone, as you may know, does not support multi-tasking apart from a few select tasks.
