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

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.

I love having all 3,000 of my contacts on my phone, as well as my calendar, tasks, and notes. I want a phone that will sync with a local copy of Outlook (as opposed to an Exchange server), without requiring me to store all my data on Google. The phone usually responds quickly as long as I'm not relying on wi-fi.
