iphone os 4 multi task
The debut of the Palm Pixi came just months after the Pre was launched in a fiercely competitive market in a climate of price wars on all smartphones. Why do we need yet another cell phone/PDA and from the same company? What were Palm thinking? The Pre now sells for around $79 from Amazon and Walmart.com and the Pixi for $24.99 and those prices may well continue a downward trend.
Which should you choose since they are both excellent and sexy smartphones/PDA’s?
Here are some key facts to consider in helping you make the right choice.
Who should buy a Pixi:
· If you are a student, price is probably key so go for the Pixi. You get a great operating system, touch sensitive screen, web access, easy connectivity to social networking such as Facebook, and good multi-tasking as well as a decent camera. The Pixi gathers all your friends and contacts together into one address book and automatically sorts out duplicate entries. You can also buy one of the “artist series” interchangeable backs to truly personalize your phone. At under $25, there just isn’t a smartphone to match this deal!
· If you are looking to trade up from a Palm Centro, the Pixi is also a good choice for you since you are likely to want that qwerty keyboard (not found on an iPhone) and are used to the smaller screen.
· If you are a Blackberry user, the Pixi will give you a far better browsing experience and contact manager than what you are used to in the textual format on Blackberry.
· If you have never had a smartphone and don’t know if you should spend all that money, the Pixi is a no brainer at under $25!
Who should buy a Palm Pre:
· A Treo user should trade up to a Pre since you are likely to be a business user and want all the functionality to enhance your productivity at home or traveling.
· If you are already a smartphone user, the Pre will be a joy to use with its wonderful easy to use touch screen, true multi-tasking OS, wi-fi capability (which the Pixi does not have), and a faster processor.
· If you are an iPhone user and want that bigger screen but also want a Qwerty keyboard, the Pre has the slide out as well as the virtual keyboard.
These are both great phones from a company that has taken its time to get it right, to pitch a phone per demographic characteristics as well as for the price conscious consumer.
