Done by Pre Community, Palm has demonstrated Pre’s mobile web browser, showing its full web capability and multiple browser process. While the staff is able to open multiple websites at the same time, it does cause the Palm Pre to slow down, probably due to the amount of the memory and cpu usage in the background. Watch both videos here (You can watch in High Quality directly by clicking on the HQ in the video player).

Start up the browser and as well as the address bar – which you can begin typing in without needing to tap into it – there’s also a page full of bookmarks. Each is represented by a thumbnail of the page rather than just the URL. Load times – over WiFi, rather than Vodafone Spain’s 3G network – were good, with the full range of pinch zooming and double-tap zooming (which automatically zooms into a column). The rep doing the demo couldn’t tell us whether – or how – you’ll be able to save images from webpages, but he did show the “Share” feature which adds a hyperlink and thumbnail image to a new email, ready to be sent to a friend or colleague.











looks soooooo glitchy!!!! wow! saw it at CES and was amazed on how smooth the scrolling and web was…… not anymore…. having 2nd thoughts now….
Article mentioned that the phone slowed down after adding windows: taht’s ONLY 2 WINDOWS when I started seeing glitching in the redraw, especially in the landscape mode.
The navigation of the page in zoom-out mode is really nice, wish the G1 had that.
Also, looks like the wifi is maybe 0.25-0.3 sec faster than the G1. The G1 sure slows down in WiFi downloads when you have a thick protector (3-5mm) covering the back panel (where the antenna is located). Same for the iPhone. Dang protector skins…
