First impressions of the HTC Rezound smartphone

Robert Weiner

I considered going with an iPhone but haven't been wild about the user experience on my iPad (too inflexible, inconsistent navigation from app to app, Apple bans apps they simply don't like) and I can't abide the idea of a phone with a battery that can't be swapped (which also eliminated the new Motorola Droid RAZR from consideration).

A Month with the Palm Pre

Robert Weiner

Here's what I've ended up with: Contacts: gSyncIt, via Google (my contacts sync to Gmail, then to the Pre). If I added a new contact in Gmail, it sync'd to the Pre, but if I added or deleted a contact on the Pre the change didn't show up in Gmail. Tasks: gSyncIt, via Google. Calendar: Google Calendar Sync.

Impressions of the Palm Pre

Robert Weiner

I gather that Google can sync notes and tasks, even though they don't exist in Gmail or Google's calendar. Setting up a Gmail account was incredibly simple - I just had to enter my login info and the Pre knew how to configure the account. In addition, notes & tasks sync to the CompanionLink app rather than the built-in Palm tools.
