Palm Pre smart phone features

Connected calendars and contacts :

Connected calendars and contacts :Pre uses the Palm Synergy feature to bring your Outlook,2 Google, and Facebook calendars together for one logical view of your day. And if you have the same contacts in different places, Pre can link them together, making it easy to find the information you need.

Multiple activities :

Keep multiple applications open and move easily between them—email, maps, photos, websites, whatever.3 Pre thinks of your applications as "activity cards", and lets you flip through them, move them around, or throw them off screen.

Notifications bar :

Things like text messages and calendar appointments appear as notifications at the bottom of the screen. You’ll know what’s going on without being completely interrupted or losing your train of thought.

Web-connected applications :

An incredibly fast browser brings you full websites the way they were meant to be seen. Plus, the applications on the phone are connected to the web and constantly updated, so you get the latest information without having to work for it.

Combined messaging :

All your conversations with the same person are grouped together in one chat-style view. (Even if it started in IM, for example, and you want to reply with text.) You can also see who’s online right from contacts, and start a new conversation with just one touch.

Universal search :

Simply start typing to begin searching your contacts, applications, Google, or even Wikipedia. Universal search narrows down the possible results as you type, so it’s easier to find what you need.

Email, Wi-Fi, and GPS :

Check email from Outlook or personal accounts like Gmail, AOL, and Yahoo!. Take advantage of Wi-Fi hotspots. And look up directions or nearby points of interest using GPS. It’s everything you need, everywhere you go.

Breakthrough design :

Slide out the keyboard for faster and easier texting. Close it up and rotate Pre for music, websites, photos, and videos in full widescreen glory. You get the best of both worlds in one
beautifully designed phone.

Antivirus Solutions Available For Windows 7 Beta

Microsoft's Windows 7 Beta already has a few vendors' workable antivirus solutions on hand for the eventual release of the new operating system, Microsoft says.

In anticipation of the Windows 7 Beta release, Microsoft maintains it has been collaboratively working with several security vendors in an effort to start ramping up antivirus solutions, blogger Brandon LeBlanc said in a post. Among the solutions available for Windows 7 Beta, which became available for download earlier this month, are Symantec's Norton 360 3.0 Beta, AVG Internet Security, AVG Anti-Virus and Kaspersky Anti-Virus for Windows 7 -- all of which are available on the Windows Security Provider page.

However, while antivirus solutions that work well with Windows 7 Beta might be available now, partners aren't knocking themselves out to push them onto their customers. For one, partners who have tested Microsoft's new operating system say that Windows 7 Beta seems to have similar security issues to Vista -- which Microsoft once touted as its most secure operating system -- and partners don't expect subsequent antivirus solutions to be radically different.

"It's really going to be a similar situation to Vista. It's a pretty similar technology," said Nathan Ware, CTO of Rain Networks, based in Bothell, Wash. "The software packages that were successful in running on Vista, I would expect those same ones to run on Windows 7."

And Windows 7 Beta is just that -- a beta. By its very definition, it could change significantly between now and its final release later this year. It will be used and tested by users but ultimately replaced by a final version, potentially rendering antivirus software less than effective, if not obsolete.

Ware said he probably would start to promote antivirus products for Microsoft's new operating system closer to the time of its final release, which will likely be in July, around the time of Windows 7 Beta's expiration date of Aug. 1. Until then, he said that "nobody's rushing out to buy (antivirus)."

"Windows 7 is a long ways from being done," Ware said. "What you see now might not be what you see in three months."
