Thoughts on the palm pre from a windows user

So I've been playing with the palm pre for the last week or so.  The device and operating system is alot different than what I'm use to. Even with all the shells and launchers on windows mobile.  The web os just seems to look and perform alot better than any form of windows mobile to date including the up coming one 6.5 .
But that's not to say that its a hands down winner over windows mobile. For all its flash it had some major issues and down falls.  
The multitasking is not what palm makes it to be. Just like windows mobile and unlike the iphone the plam pre can multitask. It use a new system called " cards" but like windows mobile depending on what you have runining in the back round  it will effect what you can have running before you get error say that "you must close a card before you can open another" I got this error mostly while on the web.  Just like on winmo the web can hog up all your ram depending on what browser your using. ( its happens more often using browser like opera mobile or iris browser. It didn't really make a diffrence if you device had 128mb or 192mb of ram) the overall web experience was unmatched no browser rendered pages with the same speed as the palm pre. Even big pages that had alot of java script  were fast. But unlike winmo you can't download things For instance you can't save web pictures, or even save as podcast/mp3s. But in all fairness the operating system is designed to be a cloud based os. I think the idea was to just be able to grabs stuff not save stuff. I'm sure if palm wanted to they could add these features to the browser.

Another compaint some people have is the small keyboard but its not that much of a deal after a day I got use to using it  these are just some thoughts will post more later
