Palm Pre's "New-ness" event video now viewable

Sure, you might've enjoyed the highs and lows (mostly highs) of Palm's Pre presser through the magic of written language in our liveblog of the event, but there's something about watching it unveiled in person by utterly enthused execs that can only be conveyed by video. Palm's got its own video of the event now live on its site, so grab your favorite Saturday hangover cure, pull up a recliner and start soaking up Palm's own special brand of RDF.

Update: We've got the video embedded after the break.

[Thanks to everyone who sent this in]

Everything looks great about this device, though I am concerned about the rumored price of $399 with two year contract. Even with cut multitasking and cut and paste, that's double the price of the iPhone. Also, I hope that the Palm App Store will have some manner of approval process. I have been burned too many times by Palm apps purchased online that claimed to do things that, ultimately, were proved to false.

It isn't more expensive than the iPhone's launch price though, is it?

iPhone Killer? I don't know. I don't know that it's that much of a game changer that it will make the iPhone obsolete and old technology.

iPhone competitor? Most definitely! I think much more so than the G1/Google phones. Yeah - they can still be added to and changed, but Palm has already done it.

What's better? The connectiveness, most definitely. The pulling information from more than one place. Also - running applications in the background.

We'll have to wait to see what happens when it actually comes out, but this is everything I had hoped the iphone would be, and didn't quite make it to.

It has a chance. It doesn't have the iPhone following. It borrows some things from the iPhone - so it's not as amazing as the iPhone was... but this has a good chance of competing BIG TIME with the iPhone.

It's very interesting interface.
