Now that a list of over 100 top home automation applications are available for the iPhone, it has us wondering if CE companies will have the same interest in the Palm Pre? The ability to have multiple applications open at once is definitely a nice feature over the iPhone, but I have to admit as a Pre owner, the touchscreen, and overall speed and responsiveness is a bit disappointing when compared to an iPhone. In addition, the lack of a low cost counterpart like the iTouch is to the iPhone, means companies will be developing for only one device on one carrier. Although we’re sure there will be at least a few home brew applications that make their way to the app store, I doubt we’ll ever see even close to as many applications from big name companies as the iPhone in the near future.
Do CE companies care about the Pre?
