Now that I’ve had the Palm Pre for a few weeks I’ve found some items quite annoying:
- Undo Button – this weekend I decided to write something up in the “Memo” application so I could copy it out later. The writing went OK – but when I went to copy the text over I clicked on the wrong thing and wiped out the whole memo. That’s when I discovered there really isn’t an undo button (I even tried rebooting hoping it wouldn’t save…)
- Copy and Paste is pretty rough – you can’t select text – it’s kinda all or nothing – like a URL, the whole text of an e-mail, etc. Doing more advanced editing isn’t very easy – something I miss from the old Palm OS
- The battery life is not so great – as I sometimes have to charge during the day….
- I occasionally get a “too many cards” error – even when I don’t have that many cards open…
- The app store is decent – but not as robust as I had hoped – it looks like some developers are choosing not to release for WebOS….
Overall it’s still a good device with potential – and a major step up from my Palm Centro.
