Giveaway: Palm Pre 2 - Do you love webOS? Then enter to win!

It’s only been a week since we gave away an iPad and we already have another big item to give away to you, our dedicated, and probably attractive,

readers. This week we’re giving away a Palm Pre 2 and it’ll be open to all North American residents. The only catch is that the phone itself is tied to the

Rogers network – our Canadian readers shouldn’t have any issues with that. But, what does this mean if you happen to be a US citizen and win the Palm Pre 2? Well, it means that you might not be able to use it out of the box unless you perform some black magic on it. Or, you know, you could simply “unlock” the Pre 2, in the event you don’t have access to any “black magic.”

Either way, the Palm Pre 2 is a sweet phone, which you already know from our review.

Now, on to the important part. We’re giving you three ways to enter our Palm Pre 2 giveaway:

Leave a comment below about why you prefer webOS over other mobile OSes (ex. iOS, Android, Blackberry).

Tweet the following message – RT @IntoMobile: I’m entering to win a Palm Pre 2 because I love webOS! – http://bit.ly/fB6zK3

Each of the three entry options will grant you one entry each, and if you do all three, we’ll give you a bonus of 2 entries to our giveaway, giving you 5 chances to win!

This giveaway will last until 11:59PM PT on 1/28/2011 and a winner will be chosen the following day. Once again, this giveaway is for both U.S. and Canadian residents. Sorry, non- US and Canadian readers, we’ll make sure to include you in the next big giveaway!

[Update: Congratulations to commenter Mannyman for being chosen as our winner of the Palm Pre 2. This giveaway is now closed, but stay tuned to IntoMobile as we have more goodies planned to give away!]

Synergy: being able to have all my email, calendars, etc in one place. Brilliant! Multitasking, because I’m that kinda person who’s going in 5 directions all the time. The GUI – it just makes sense to me, its intuitive unlike other systems. The keyboard, because I cant stand the virtual keyboards on small devices. Developing software is easy, you dont have to have it blessed by the company to get it on your device. I could go on..

I did all three. I love me webOS. I have converted a number of individuals to webOS. They love the OS, but hate the Hardware. I fall into that same category, but I will not get any other mobile OS at all. I still have a Sprint Palm Pre from launch date and will not change unless it’s to another webOS device. Can’t wait for Feb 9th.

WebOS is by far the best mobile OS. It has the best multitasking, it looks super slick and it’s super easy AND fun to develop applications for it. Every time I touch an iOS or Android device it just feels crippled compared to WebOS. Then there’s HP/Palm’s AWESOME support for developers including the entire homebrew scene. It’s simply unparalleled.

WebOS integrates your life… You have to force integration with iOS and Android, adopting and enveloping into its eco-system, whereas webOS becomes integrated as a byproduct of your life and activities! Not superior, just right!

Love the simple elegance of WebOS. And especially the WebOS developer community! Amazing group of people. Yeah for WebOS Internals.
Trevor Nickerson

I’m dedicated to webOS. The past few (read: months have been trying, but I stand by the OS not because it’s what I bought but because of the inherent possibilities of the platform; of what’s under the hood. Synergy and exhibition stand to bring third-party capability into first-party aesthetics. webOS’s open nature allows consumers to tweak their devices freely, devoid of carrier and manufacturer stonewalling (hello, Moto?). Not only that but the manufacturer freely admits to taking a page from these homebrewers and incorporating suggestions into official OTA releases. If anything goes wrong for any user, they’re safe because their contacts, appointments and notes are continuously backed up to a service of their choice. Restoring the device is a free and accessible service provided by hp/palm.

The way a user interacts with the phone is a significant draw for me as well. The best way I can qualify this is to draw a comparison between using webOS and the desktop OS(s). Having the card space allows the user to use the phone (read: computer) in ways that the jump-in, jump-out nature of iOS and Android doesn’t permit. I can’t say why specifically – it could be that since the app is open in the state it was when I left it, rather than being represented by a measly icon, I think less about navigation and more about completing the task I intended. Now that I’m in the mindset, all other operating systems seem primitive by nature.

webOS hands down blows all other mobile OS’s out of the water! It’s multitasking is superb and so are the notifications! Soon we’ll have flash and stacks and more. I just love it more by the day!
http://twitter.com/D_Summit Dave Smith

I love WebOS’s multitasking, notifications, Synergy, Universal Search, and the fact that HP/Palm are so cooperative with the homebrew/enthusiast scene. While Apple locks everyone out to “preserve their experience”, Android is fragmented, and Blackberry is lame, Palm keeps the best user experience in-tact and universally adopted while allowing users to tweak their phones to their liking.

No other OS is as smooth and elegant as WebOS. Nothing compares. NOTHING. It is intuitive to use, has all the apps I need and is totally customizable due to the awesomely helpful and dedicated homebrew community. Sprint keeps offering me upgrades, but I refuse.

The webOS platform is a communication centric platform, no other platform effortlessly combines email, phone, text messages, apps, and social media. I can use one app to talk to all of my networks, or get apps for specific networks. webOS is not a silo platform it’s a beautiful #synergy of flat social graphs and UX.

Although WebOS is without doubt the most fun, most addicting interface to a hand held computer, the Palm Pre form factor is hands down untouchable when the hand held computer happens to be a phone.

It’s really sad that more people haven’t tried webOS because they have a skewed idea of what multi tasking on a mobile device is like. Nothing feels as natural and as productive than webOS cards. Can’t wait to get it on new hardware.

I prefer webOS over other mobile OSes because of its true multi-tasking experience, being user friendly, the use of a touchstone charging dock on my Palm Pre Plus, its developer community ie homebrew. In short, probably for all the reason why HP bought Palm!

I Love webOS because it has that thing to be different and better
John Crowe

Palm has always had a very good user interface. They haven’t had the glitziest or the fanciest, but they have always made phones that just plain worked well. It is unfortunate that they took a while getting webOS out as it put them behind the flashy iPhone and Android got a jump on them, but I have a feeling that HP will do well with it. The tablet that is coming looks really good and HP has the resources to promote it.

Simply put, the Pre with webOS works very well. I have seen people struggle with how to do this or that on other phones, but when the try the Pre they have no problems.

It just works and works well……..
EG

I like webOS because it has a great multitasking system with an unobtrusive notification system that is fantastic. The homebrew community is the best I’ve ever seen and I think they are a compliment to the original Palm designers.

Why it’s better is easy: Multitasking, and easy development. Those two set webOS so far beyond the rest of the pack that it’s surprising to see larger companies lag behind.

Why do I love WebOS? Let me count the ways: 1) MultiTasking (as in the real deal) 2) Synergy – nobody does it right except Palm 3) The UI – as in it everything iOS isn’t 4) Homebrew (and the fact that you are not considered the scum of the earth for it either) 5) Ares and the SDK

Just Type is amazing and a huge time saver. webOS 2.0 also has a way to very easily add search engines to Just Type, making it that much more powerful!

The card metaphor for managing running applications (and the new stacks feature) are hands-down the best mobile interface available.

The Ares development environment makes it easy to develop a webOS app anywhere.

Palm/HP’s open embrace of the homebrew community (such as via the Konami code for unlocking developer mode) is a breath of fresh air compared to some other mobile providers.

webOS *IS* the best mobile platform out there. Stellar hardware like the Pre 2 will help deliver webOS goodness to many more people
John Hart Bfx

WebOS is so intuitive that I now find myself trying to minimize apps on my iPad by swiping up! I also find myself wishing Synergy was on the iPad, and if rumors are true about a new WebOS tablet, then I’ll be leaving the iPad for an OS that will allow me to have true integration between my phone and tablet and PCs. February 9th can’t get here soon enough!

i want to use the same gestures on every other smartphone out there but i can’t, and that makes them all suck, compared to webos!!

WebOS just has lower level hardware access than many other phone operating systems. Android’s programs (which are based on Java) require a lot more power to run decently, because they aren’t coded in a low level language and they are run through a Virtual Machine. JIT compiler or not Android is still slower than it should be. Apple (not-surprisingly) has made it very hard to get decent hardware access. iPhone emulators are typically slower than their WebOS equivalents. WebOS also has the BEST implementation of contact organization and multitasking on ANY phone OS.

WebOS is really the only good alternative to iOS. Android’s crippled by the carrier’s and manufacturers and WinPhone7 isn’t up to snuff yet. WebOS is the only option for smartphone that allows, nay endorses, side-loading apps, GUI and OS modifications, is a fully featured multitasking linux platform, has excellent 3D game support and gets regular OS updates.

It just needs better hardware. The Pre- was fine 18 months ago but it was really too much load for the device (like IOS4 on an iPhone 3GS). I’ve overclocked mine to 720Mhz and added memory compression and it’s pretty spiffy. I know that a Ghz CPU and 512MB ram will make it buttery deliciousness.

WebOS is just better. Cards for multi-tasking is #1
cmilette

I prefer webOS to the alternatives because, honestly, it gets the job done. Right from unlocking the phone, you get a beautifully elegant, yet simple home screen with a quick launch bar that makes quick tasks easy to perform. Unlike iOS and AndroidOS, webOS’s home screen isn’t cluttered with the hectic chaos of scattered apps and widgets, which makes the user experience, in my opinion, more enjoyable.
While iOS has recently updated to allow multitasking, webOS has had it since day one. Multitasking is a part of our daily lives, so why can’t our phones be able to? I believe that webOS handles multitasking more elegant than any other phone OS out there, including BlackberryOS and AndroidOS’s background processes.
I also love being able to use universal search to look up anything or anyone (in my contacts) at the push of a button.
Since webOS was made atop of a linux kernel, its webkit browser is phenomenal. pinching to zoom in and out is easy and intuitive, like all other parts of the OS! also, since webOS is homebrew friendly, I don’t have to root my phone like Android users do, or jailbreak like iOS users do, making personalization edge to a new level.
The notification light and overall gesture area make excellent use of the OS and brings the entire user experience together as a whole.
Beyond that, Synergy, which collects data from all sorts of different sources, makes shuffling through contacts, e-mails, calendars, etc. easier than ever.
But what I really love about webOS, though, is it’s support from Palm/HP. they mend out regular OS updates and I’ve never had a problem with their customer service.
All in all, I think webOS is the best mobile OS out there, and it has been for a while. Just know that if I were to win this contest, the prize – a.k.a. Pre 2 – would be put to excellent use, I assure you

webOS is a smart OS that’s great for multitasking. <3
http://twitter.com/D0li0 Ryan Fulcher

First the obvious, WebOS beats the other mobile OSs hands down in Multitacking. It has the most intuitive and polished UI. While it may have fewer apps the apps that it has are of better quality with less garbage. Just start typing from the launcher to quickly find whatever it is you are looking for be it a contact, an app, a web page, etc… WebOS should easily scale to nearly any sized touch input device.

Now for the not so obvious, WebOS is the most open platform with the best home-brew community. Can your smartphone do over the air overclocking kernel updates without wiping all your settings and loading some wonkie ROM and then revert back to the stock kernel a minute later? Well mine can. Can you type upupdowndownleftrightleftrightbastart and BAM you got root? No need to install a shell nor su nor hacks this nor crack that because with WebOS the “shell is included”. You can even install your favourite arm ported packages from the linux desktop/server world! Want vi, emacs, lighttpd, perl, php, make, cron, ssh, rsync, top, X11, etc, no problem because we’re running a recognizable Linux distribution under the hood. In short WebOS is a linux users paradise, In my experience Android seems neutered underneath it’s GUI as are Blackberry and iOS.
http://twitter.com/Teralex4 T Alexander

I like the innovative updates, like the new Gorilla Glass screen, the upgrade in processing power, and the ability to stack cards on one screen in the new version of webOS. Awesome features. I also like the compact size, it looks really hands-on. Love to give it a try.

Multi tasking
Rodney Berryman

WebOS has Real Multi-Tasking not the iPhone’s stupid “It’s on in the background but you have to reopen it.” stuff, it’s really there just go back to the card.

I just love the true multi-tasking and as I currently have a Pre-minus I would welcome a new device that can multitask more than 3 items. The iPhone multitasking is very dated.

It’s a serious multi-tasker.

I love, love, LOVE my Palm Pre Plus, and am excited to see fresh offerings from Palm. My husband has an Android phone, and while it does have some neat apps that sometimes make me jealous (like Google Sky Map and the new NTN Buzztime Mobile Trivia app), it’s just nowhere near as intuitive to operate as my Palm. WebOS just makes sense! I couldn’t even manage to send an email to the right person using my husband’s phone the other day, and I’m fairly tech savvy! In contrast, when friends and family use WebOS on my Palm, their comments remind me of how shockingly intuitive and easy my very first Mac desktop felt when I upgraded from a basic DOS system back in 1993.

Glad to see the 5 mp camera on the new Palm. I no longer carry a separate camera when traveling, and my current Palm take pretty good pics, but there are times when the 3.2 mp camera on my Palm Pre Plus is a little underwhelming (especially compared to what comparable phones are sporting). I do wish the close-up auto-focus capabilities would be improved so the Palm could handle 1D and 2D bar codes.

I’m hoping the new Palm 2 can still be used as wireless modem; I couldn’t live without this feature!!! Anybody know if this is the case?

The WebOS format exceeds the ither OS formats (iOS, WindowsOS, AndroidOS, rimOS, and SymbionOS) in its ease of use, handling of APs, ability to handle multitasking, and it’s fluidity of operation. The areas it lacked in (lack of voice command, inability to use Flash, lack of digital on-screen keyboard, and processor speeds are all addressed in the WebOS 2.0 update which says two things: HP/Palm is listening to it’s customers (something many businesses fail to do today) and WebOS is moving forward to become a formidable option above and beyond other mobile OS on the market – both now and in the times to come.

I like it better because I think it’s more user friendly.

Wonder if the black magic will get this working on Sprint?

oh, and webos is superior to iOS, Android, and RIM because it’s the only mobile OS I have ever used that is uniquely user friendly, customizable, and beautiful. All at the same time. I also love the Touchstone wireless charging.

WebOS is the smoothest, most well thought-out, refined platform out there. iOS and Android is getting all the hype but WebOS is like the quiet, cool guy who get all the ladies. WebOS users are like Saab owners, we know something you don’t.

I like the webOS because I’ve used it for years. Don’t make an old dog learn a new trick.

I love WebOS because I can hack it if I want to and add features the original makers did not envision, all without harming the integrity of the phone. With my Pre (minus, sadly, another reason to enter the contest), if I really want to, I can run a web server and carry my website around with me in my pocket. All this without kissing Steve Jobs’s ring or giving Google even more insight into my daily goings-on. It’s easy to develop for and has a very enthusiastic homebrew community- which Palm is actually on good terms with. And don’t tell Sprint, but thanks to the homebrewers I can use my phone as a mobile hotspot without paying any extra fees, making the value proposition off-the-charts awesome. I pay less for my phone and get more out of it than anyone I know.

Oh yeah, it does true multitasking too. Sorry, Apple, I’d like to pick and choose which programs I have open simultaneously.
Oh yeah, the GUI wasn’t designed by a monkey on crack. Sorry, Android, you’re the ugly girl at the bar.
Oh yeah, it also has a physical keyboard and doesn’t look like the Soviet Union’s finest industrial design. Sorry, Blackberry, even your new designs are like, ‘ugh’.

Waiting for Feb. 9 with bated breath!

I love WebOS because it’s elegantly simple and not cluttered! It’s visually more appealing, easy to navigate and the muti-tasking is unbeatable!

I love webOS because it’s powerful, easy to develop for, and lets me actually see multiple applications at the same time. Multitasking is multitasking if you can’t have multiple things open at once.

the web os is great multi tasker, elegant interface and easy to use

I prefer WebOS phones because of the professional use. The multi account manager is also a big plus.
