Palm Pre release before Apple's iPhone 3

Sprint announced they will release the Pre on June 6th, 2009. New users will get it for $199.99 after $100 MIR. Right now, the Palm Pre will only be released to the US market. Sad to say, it's not one of those phones you can unlock since it's running on CDMA (Unlike T-Mobile and ATT running on GSM).

Sprint plans on having their $199 8GB Palm Pre compete with the new 16GB iPhone which is supposidly going to be released for the same price but after the Pre. Click here to see details of the Pre

The Palm Pre running on WebOS runs applications on basic html, js, and css. Making an application easier for developers to design applications using desktop language.

How do you feel it will compete in the market with the iPhone and G1?
