But I’m driving home. What to do?

I grab my Palm Pre mobile phone and fire up the Pandora app. I punch in the name of the band (Band of Heathens). Within seconds I’m streaming music into my car stereo speakers. He’s right, these guys are good.

I drive the rest of the way home listening to my new music. I am happy. I love technology. I love Sprint. I love my Palm Pre. I love Pandora!

I remember when the iPhone came out. I wanted one. But, I refused to go back to AT&T. I thought if I waited long enough, AT&T’s exclusivity would end. It’s been almost two years now–still exclusive to AT&T. Then the Google Android G1 came out. T-Mobile only? Bleah. I’ll wait for a different carrier. I was briefly interested in the new Blackberry Storm for Verizon. That is, until I actually tried to use one–hated the interface.

Sigh. What’s a gadget geek like me to do? And then Palm comes out of nowhere and introduces the Pre–and knocks my socks off.

The Pre’s hardware design and UI are top-notch. It makes the iPhone look old and clunky. The concept of ‘synergy’ is revolutionary–all your info, from all your sources, all in one app on the Pre.

Drops on Sprint soon. I can’t wait! I’ll be one of the first in line =)
