Comparison Between Palm Pre and iPhone 3G Part 2/2

Comparison Between Palm Pre and iPhone 3G Part 2/2 What’s up guys? It’s Jon Rettinger here. I’ve got a lot of request to continue comparing the iPhone 3G and the Palm Pre. There are lots of features that people wanted to see head to head and I want you to compare Wi-Fi’s speeds. On the iPhone 3GS launches next week, start the home this year is comparing the 3GS with the Pre that will be comparing modern hardware versus modern hardware. Let’s go ahead and get started. First, I’ll unlock both devices, put it twice, there I go and slide over. Now, the first thing that I want to compare is time it takes to get online, so I’m going to push the browser button on the iPhone and push the browser button on the Pre. But know that the iPhone takes you right online, the Pre takes you to the Bookmark, so we’ll go from Bookmark to Bookmark actually. So, we’ll launch that and here we have the Pre, so we’ll go ahead and we’ll launch like websites, so we’ll launch YouTube at the same time, so I’m going to go and type that in okay, so YouTube Jon4lakers and Jon5lakers here in the Bookmarks I will do exactly the same time over exactly the same Wi-Fi network that’s will be a very fair test. And they are both off and it looks like the Pre is already done handily beating the iPhone 3G. Certainly when the 3GS is launch you’ll expect possibly different results, but this is launched in the exact same page at exactly the same time on exactly the same Wi-Fi networks. This is mostly a test of the hardware of the two devices. It’s definitely something to keep in mind. Also people said that my screen rotation comparison and I did in previous videos was a necessarily fair and accurate because the Pre just had a web optimized page on it. Any iPhone 3G had an actual page, so let’s go ahead and compare screen rotations on each. So, we’ll start with the iPhone 3G and I’ll show you this on its own and do a head to head comparison. Take the phone, hold on inside and there is the screen rotation, go backup, let’s pull out Pre and I’ll try the same thing, so let’s try the two together and see how we do. Do much a bit, that was actually relatively close. And the Pre was so just a little bit faster. I’ll try it one more time, and once again the Pre is just a little bit faster, but you don’t always expect a faster processor and a little more modern hardware the Pre was just released last week, the iPhone 3G is just that we call again the 3GS, you’ll probably expect a relatively different results. So, let’s talk of little bit about navigation here. We go back to the home screen on each. I will throw this card away. The navigation on the Pre is very different from the iPhone, but in a lot of ways it’s the same if that make much sense, so in the iPhone you’ve got your four icons across the bottom, and you’ve got your home screen that you can scroll across and the icons stay static that on the bottom. On the Pre you’ve got your five icons on the bottom and I should correct myself as well from the previous videos saying that this can indeed be customized, and it tells me I;m going to scroll from the home screen actually you have to launch a launcher, and you can scroll to your icons like that. And they can be rearranged on either screen. So, let’s compare one of the applications that I used quite a bit, Google maps. We’re going to compare it for the iPhone which runs natively or the Palm Pre. It actually runs Google maps via the webs since this is a web operating system, so it’s very interesting how they are able to optimize a web app. Let’s go ahead and launch Google maps so I can find it there we go and Google maps are very familiar because there was a pizza place I was looking up. If I ever use Google maps the iPhone version is quick somewhere I found my location. You can move around, you can zoom in. It’s very smooth being a needed app and that connected over Wi-Fi. If you’re up you can drop your pen, show traffic, satellite view, high breed or a list. Now on the Pre it’s interesting. Let’s go ahead and launches and it’s a little bit of different UI actually, so actually it has to connect to website and download all the information since it’s just a web app, but interestingly enough it works just as well, so you’ll get that same icon to find your location, so you can go and find my location and here it is. And you can do that same multi-touch zooming and you go up to menu where you do just the same as feeling back that page. You get very familiar options: show the traffic, get direction, satellite view or clear map, so getting traffic is a pretty intensive thing, so let’s go ahead and quick on button and let’s go ahead and show you what that looks like. You can see there is actually a very quick pulling up the traffic. Again, this is over a Wi-Fi connection, but a lot of concern was how the previous can interact with the web and how these web apps are going to work, and I’ve got to say so far they almost look native and I’m very impress with the Palm Pre. So guys I want to give you another head to head comparison of the 3G and the Pre just a features that I used all time and probably you used all the time as well, and the last one that I want to show you is the phone application. Let me go ahead and open that up. On the iPhone 3G it should be very familiar. It’s a lot of you and most people have or most people watching my videos have already seen an iPhone dialing application but you not have seen in the Palm Pre. Let me show you what it looks like and you’ll see they look very similar, and there’s a reason that they look very similar. Actually one of the head designers on the iPhone actually left Apple to work for Palm. It’s actually now running Palm that’s how a lot of the iPhone accused will say came to the Pre. We’ll say the previous influenced by the iPhone. But now in fairness in most modern touch screen phones, they were influenced somehow by the iPhone. So, here is the dial application. A very nice in similarity, there is no visual voice mail however, as of yet on the Palm Pre and it’s relatively what you expect. The speaker on the Pre though I will tell you. You can probably hear it right there. It’s crazy loud from that speaker on the back. It is really, really, really loud. Actually you have to turn down the volume because it was too loud. So, I hope you can enjoyed and make sure you stick around next week for the comparison of the 3GS versus the Palm Pre and we may have very different results. I hope you enjoyed.

See you guys in the next video. Bye.
