The accolade of “Best of CES 2009″ that the Palm Pre received wasn’t just because it looked good – this baby is also seriously jam-packed with some groovy functionality.

The foundation of the exciting new Palm is built on the zippy OMAP3430 processor and Palm’s new webOS.  With these as building blocks, it seems Palm has picked up where Apple left off:  integration with contacts and calendar, multitasking, native tethering, Bluetooth data synch, Bluetooth A2DP, cut ‘n’ paste and of course, promise of a ready turn-by-turn GPS app.

After watching this video, it’s hard not to love the Palm Pre; particularly for someone who will be potentially using it in a similar fashion: organizing calendar events and sharing cool links with others regularly.

Just another reason why the Palm Pre will be one of 2009′s hottest smartphones / PDAs.

Sprint have just released the official specifications of the upcoming Palm Pre and I must say the list pretty much confirms that this will be my new phone.  The list is exactly as we reported this time last month except for the tethering capability – pleasant surprise!

Sprint – Palm Pre

So you’ve got a really imporant call coming in from your boss or business partner. You don’t have a pen or paper anywhere in sight, yet need to capture the main points from the conversation. Sweat starts to bead on your forehead. The pressure is unbearable.

Well if you have a Palm device you can use a nifty little application called CallRec. It not only records telephone conversations but also is the perfect voice memo tool.

CallRec is the premier voice recording application for Treo and Palm Centro smartphones. This simple-to-use application allows you to record your telephone conversation and voice memos with ease by simply pressing the Treo side key.

Remember Alfred the Butler who took care of Batman (Bruce Wayne) and made sure that he was always at his best? Now just imagine that you had your own electronic version of Alfred in your Palm Treo phone.

The Butler application for the Treo is the digital equivalent of Alfred.

Butler is the assistant who thinks of everything. Alarms, Attention Grabber, Navigation, Launching, LED, Keyguard and Much More.

Butler contains 7 sets of utilities yet costs less than most single applications. Please note that Butler is only written for the Palm Treo.

Reviews on Butler for Treo:

Eddie

Palm Centro does not have LED notification for new voice mail, missed SMS, and new email. Butler addresses this issue perfectly, it can turn on the LED light for all those events. Plus you can map the volumne side buttons as forward/backward button for application. Highly recommended.

Ms Randall

I “must have” for any Treo user- Dont be caught with out this app!

Paul Loemaksono

This app is a good add-on for your TREO.I purchased it with other bundled programs from the same developer and they proved not causing crashes. It is on par compared to Central however.

Michele Kenworthy

This was the first piece of software we bought when we first got our Treo 650′s. It is an excellent program that does everything for you. My favorite is the attention grabber that flashes the LED whatever way you want when you missed a call or SMS. I also feel secure that if I ever lost my phone, I can send a text message that will lock it, and/or wipe it clean! Butler is a must-have for all smartphone users!

Josh Maxfield-J

Butler has got to be the perfect app for your palm. It offers more features & functionality pound per pound than any other app on the market. The alarm features alone could fetch $19.95 as a standalone application. But thats just the beginning with Butler … you also get to set LED options, an awesome attention grabber, a killer keyguard, and more. This app is also backed up and constantly upgraded by a very active developer. How can you lose with a 100% satisfaction guarentee? Get it now and your Treo will never be the same again!

Jeff

If you’re looking for an extremely useful Treo tool that has it all; including an alarm manager that plays your MP3′s, LED control, attention grabber (like a pager) remote lock and a whole lot more than you’ve found it in BUTLER !!! This application has so many useful functions, yet uses so little RAM, it’s a wonder how it is priced so low. The developer has kept us in mind, as the updates are current and the responses are timely. I highly recommend this program, as it has proven to be worthy of it’s weight in gold ! Thanks Hobbyist !!! (Also check out the Phone Application: Phone Technician from this developer…see for yourself…you’d be amazed) !

Nexus

Great AppI wish it had acc or mp4 support with AeroPlayer.

ERIC

DOES THIS PROGRAM HAVE NAVIGATION INCLUDED?

Superb! No problems with conflicts with other software and with all the alarm features present in my 2002 Toshiba 740e. Palm, without Butler, is essentially useless for organizer functions IF you are hard of hearing and sometimes don’t wear hearing aids. Butler solves the problem — almost. Still missing is a variable, user controllable, snooze interval for every task and event. But one can almost live withour that since the blinking LED functions are now available. Truth to be told, big bad Microsoft did a better job on the scheduling aspects of the PDA than Palm. Wolf

Curious to find out what the Palm Pre fuss is all about?

Phonescoop‘s video gives us an insightful preview to what could possibly be the closest thing to an iPhone 3G killer ever.

As mentioned in my previous Palm Pre post, I am attracted mostly by the speed of this new PDA phone. Built in QWERTY and cut ‘n’ paste functionality also brings happy thoughts to my head. This could be the phone the ends my iPhone love-affair…

Last year, it was all about the iPhone 3G but 2009 looks to be the year that Palm shows the world that it is not about to curl up and die but win back many lost fans and more with its new amazingly fast Palm Pre.

Check out the videos on the Engadget link below and you’ll see how fast it scrolls/redraws webpages and flicks between apps. Truly blazing.

The thing is, the software (apparently Linux-based) isn’t even finished yet and is still undergoing major testing to iron-out bugs and inefficiencies. Wow. Can’t wait to see the end product.

I also like this type of form factor: curvy compact design with slide-out phone keypad.

• 802.11b / g WiFi
• Integrated GPS
• CPU : OMAP3430
• 3.1-inch 24-bit color 480 x 320 display
• Dedicated gesture area below display
• Slide-out portrait QWERTY keyboard
• Exchange email support in addition to POP and IMAP
• IM, MMS, and SMS messaging
• High-performance browser
• 3-megapixel camera with LED flash and “extended depth of field”
• 3.5mm headphone jack
• Bluetooth 2.1 EDR with A2DP
• 8GB of internal storage
• USB mass storage mode
• MicroUSB connectivity with USB 2.0
• Proximity sensor for detecting when phone is near face
• Light sensor to automatically dim display
• Ringer mute switch
• Removable rechargeable battery
• 59.57 x 100.53 x 16.95mm closed
• 4.76 ounces

My first real PDAs were Palms (Palm C, Palm M505, Palm Tungsten T), so there is a special link I share with the company. Good to see themselves teasing out the innovation and creativity still left within. Go Palm go!

Watch this space. I’ll post more Palm Pre information as it becomes available.

Oh Palm. You’ve left everyone wondering when your new operating system will ever be released. I remember hearing about the Nova much earlier this year, but it seems we still have to wait a while before we catch a glimpse of it.
