It’s about the new iPhone 3GS and the new Palm Pre.

I didn’t play (yet!) with any of the two handsets, although I hope to have the chance in August, when I’ll meet again two of my best friends with whom I had an interesting conversation one month ago.

The first, iPhone fan, told me that he already knows about the great success the new iPhone 3GS will have (by just reading some article about the future features of the phone), that it will be “the top of the top”, with a lot of interesting applications, with everything that you want and even don’t want.

The other, Palm (and PDA) fan, told me that he can’t wait to buy the new Palm Pre, because he knows that it will change the world as we knew it. Why? Because, comparing with iPhone 3GS, the new Palm will change your way of thinking about organizing your life, the time management, your projects and your tasks. The problem with the iPhone is exactly what the other friend said: it gives you access to a lot of applications, including the ones that you don’t want.

One was talking about the interface of the iPhone and its applications, while the other was telling me about the functionalities and the help that the Palm will provide to me.

Honestly, I can’t wait to try them both (be sure that my friends will buy the gadgets by August), but I can’t help laughing when I’m thinking how funny this is: a deja-vu. Why? Don’t you feel the same? The fight between the Windows and Linux?

I’m thinking at all the explanations each side was using in the past when fighting about who’s the best, the Windows (with the way it looks and applications that you like but not use) and the Linux (with its functionalities)

So… What do you think? Will you buy an iPhone 3GS or a Palm Pre? Why? :)
