If this promo video from Palm isn’t exaggerating anything, it really does look like the Palm Pre is set to become the best smartphone on the market when it gets released. It does feel like the Pre is doing something rather revolutionary with smartphone functionality because it makes multi-tasking such a fluid and integral part of the device.

Personally, I’ve always imagined a smartphone device to be somewhat like a tiny portable computer in your pocket (without actually carrying a laptop). The iPhone and BlackBerry get close, but there are limitations to each of those OS’s and the Palm Pre has so far one-upped each of those devices in every single way. For the first time ever, I think the Palm Pre may finally be bringing us into the future of mobility. The only thing left to “fix” and get right is our shoddy US networks. Get our networks to actually have bearable data speeds and decent prices and the Palm Pre is going to be REALLY awesome.
