The Palm Pre
As we continue to learn more about the upcoming Palm Pre there’s now official confirmation the Pre will natively support iTunes media sync for non-DRM files. The confirmation came at The Wall Street Journal’s Furthermore, D: All Things Digital conference where Palm also revealed the Pre will be engineered to act as a mass storage drive and has given attendees an advance look at the beta version of the App Catalog, which will be available on the Pre at its June 6 launch.
The beta version of the App Catalog will feature applications from developers such as AP News, Citysearch, Fandango, Pandora and uLocate. It will also use the Pre’s location-based services to find theatres near you and lets you watch trailers, buy tickets, add showtimes to your calendar and get directions to the theatre. Also included will be Pandora, which makes use of the platform’s multitasking capabilities, to run in the background while you’re using other applications.
Palm also announced that Twitter search is integrated into the Pre’s webOS universal search function that will figure out if you’re looking for a contact, an application, or even let you search the web via Google, Google Maps, Wikipedia and now Twitter, as you type. Almost sounds too good to be true.
