Palm Pre VS New iPhone Specs

We thought it would interesting to compare the confirmed Palm Pre specs to the rumored next generation iPhone specs that were recently leaked on the Chinese forum Chinese forum Weiphone.
Although the next-gen iPhone specs that were leaked haven’t been confirmed, they do seem very plausible so we have no reason at the moment at least to believe they aren’t true. Not all specs were leaked but we’ve compared what we know so far.




Palm Pre VS New iPhone

	Palm Pre	New iPhone
Operating System:	Palm® webOS™	iPhone OS 3.0
Network specs:	3G EVDO Rev A	3G / Edge
Display:	3.1-inch touch screen, 320×480 resolution.	3.5-inch (diagonal) widescreen touch screen, 480 x 320 resolution.
Keyboard	Physical QWERTY keyboard	No physical keyboard
Memory:	8GB	32GB
Camera:	3 megapixel camera with LED flash	3.2 megapixel camera with no flash
Sensors	Ambient light accelerometer proximity	Ambient light accelerometer proximity
Tethering?:	Yes	Not Announced

As you can see above the rumored new iPhone appears to have more memory and a larger display, but at the same time the device is larger than the Pre so that’s to be expected. The Pre is on par with the iPhone in most other areas. In the end however, I have a feeling that the physical keyboard and tethering offered by the Pre is going to seal the deal for a lot of people.
