3Multitasking
HP boasts that the Palm Pre 2’s WebOS will let users “pause a game, tap an e-mail notification, check your calendar, read a restaurant review, send an e-mail reply, then switch back to the game without closing anything.” Clearly, HP is going after the power smartphone user. But is that the right market?
4HP Synergy
HP’s custom synchronization technology lets users sign in to their Facebook, Google, Microsoft Exchange, LinkedIn and Yahoo accounts and automatically populate their phones with the data. Of course Apple and Android phones already offer such technology, so nothing to fuss over here. However, a key differentiator may be that WebOS 2.0 will extend the support for Synergy to let developers port messaging, contacts and calendar application data.
