How can i test out the palm pre on my computer like that? Is it free or i have to buy it?
how I could sinc my contact from Outlook directly to my pre??.. is it that posible at all???… does palm has program for the pre like the itunes???
how do you go to card without pressing esc on the emulator
Just because there are contact fields for other IM programs doesn’t mean the Pre will ever have internal support for those. My Palm Treo has fields for AIM, MSN, Yahoo and ICQ. It’s just another contact field.
Does the Pre do groups for text messaging or email out of the box? For example if I had a “Coworkers” group or category, can I send text messages or emails to the whole category automatically without having to add them one by one?
Does Google Apps for my domain….. (GMAIL using my domain name.) Work on here?
So what if a contact of yours has different names in facebook and google? (Example: Jon Smith vs. Jonathan Smith) Will the Pre be able to tell it’s the same contact and merge them together?
this is the coolest most original “feature” ive seen on the palm pre, apart from everything else its copied from the iphone os.
I’m not sure this is the right place to ask, but do you know if the standard vcards will be supported ? Thank you
1. I am dead
2. You are next
3. Someone will kill you in the next 5 hours
4. Post to 6 other videos or youll die
Will it have the PPT presentation capability like the HTC Touch PRO? And I am assuming Outlook sync is available with the new synergy app? Is there a monthly and weekly overview as well as daily?
Universal search will not find e-mail, address, IM screen name or anything. But it will find company name, phone number, and name. I will make a video on this shortly.
Exactly Palm is running on fumes cash wise. So they will take any free buzz they can get. I mean I know they read engadget and such as I talk to them on Twitter and know they read blogs. Also I believe I was 26th most viewed on youtube yesterday so this page is pretty big if you ask me.
Great news! A search for company name returns everyone listed under that company. I will make a Universal search video soon to demonstrate this.
I would hope so. Great way to get someone to show off WebOS without having to pay them, as well as generate buzz.
But I agree, they should be (and likely are) well aware of the videos, and I would think they would address it if they had a problem as well.
No problem thanks for the heads up though I would hope Palm would ask me to take the videos down first before suing the hell out of me. I would gladly take them down haha. I would think if they had a problem they would have addressed it already. I’m not hard to find
I bet they love the free advertising they are getting.
my question is similar to AlGat11′s question, but a little different:
sometimes i’ll remember a random detail about a contact’s profile (oh that person i talked to whose email contains the word “invisible” but i can’t remember their name or where they work, etc). is universal search able to search from the other fields in a contact’s profile as well?thx.
hmm… thats a bit of a hassle
thanks for the speedy reply!
It will combine them automatically. If numbers/e-mails/etc… differ on Facebook and Google it will show you which number came from where.
Quick question, if I sync my contacts with my gmail (i have all my phone numbers on there) to the phone, and then sync with facebook, will the Pre combine my contacts with the facebook people auotomatically? and/or can they be easily merged manually?
p.s. great vids! keep ‘em comming!
Fair enough. I assumed you were trying to operate under a degree of anonymity, since you’re technically under a non-disclosure agreement and all. My concern has been addressed…
On a side note, however, I’m greatly enjoying the videos. Can’t wait for launch next week!
It will not sync locally but I am told that there will be a program that comes with the Pre to sync everything from address book to the phone 1 time so you can back it up to Google. I know this is a huge bummer.
Yes, I know. I don’t really mind if people find me I can decline them and I would really hope people would respect my privacy in the first place. I’m not trying to be anonymous or sneaky or anything.
You do realize that you can search for people by e-mail address on Facebook, right?
I searched and…if your first name is “Mark”, then you’re not quite the “invisible man” anymore…
do you know if the pre will sync with the address book program on mac osx?
