Thinking ahead is a beautiful thing. The new Palm Pre phone is always thinking ahead to make your life easier. Pre pulls your different online calendars into one view, bringing you the information you want without having to search for it. Pre links your contacts from different sources, giving you one place to find what you need. And Pre delivers incoming messages1 and notifications in an intuitively subtle way, letting you react or respond however you want. People, events, information that matters. With Palm Pre, it’ll come to you. Connected calendars and contacts Pre uses the Palm Synergy feature to bring your Outlook Google, and Facebook calendars together for one logical view of your day. And if you have the same contacts in different places, Pre can link them together, making it easy to find the information you need. Multiple activities Keep multiple applications open and move easily between them—email, maps, photos, websites, whatever. Less
