Video: Verizon’s Palm Pre Plus is for moms

Dusan Belic

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.

  They’re simply pitching it as a Valentine’s Day gift.

  No different than the ads where a guy gets his wife a car or jewels.

  Regarding the ad about multiple calendars, this is something I remember hearing a women wanting in an interview years ago, to keep track of the schedules of her kids, work, husband, etc. I agree this feature is great for everyone: it lets me keep integrate calendars for my personal events, my business, and the groups I belong to. I give credit to Google for creating layered calendars that let you overlay all your calendars on one display; and Palm for bringing that to webOS.

  I can’t speak to whether the Pre/Pre+ is ideal for mothers, but I have to applaud (begrudgingly) Verizon for realizing that not every smartphone is one-size-fits-all. They appear to be the only carrier attempting to segment the market.
