Yes, the title is correct, something crazy got into the folks over at eWeek, they want our beloved Palm Pre to be killed in 2010. How is this even possible, when most important publications like Popular Mechanics say the Pre is a breakthrough, and one of the 10 Most Brilliant Products of 2009. Go figure!

How in the world can they be so blind?! They don’t see how much potential webOS has for the future of smartphones. They even want Google Wave and the Nexus One to be killed next year, ha, unbelievable. I guess eWeek did not read that PCWorld ranked the Palm Pre 14th on their 100 Products of 2009.

Below is what eWeek had to say about the Palm Pre:

Palm Pre: When Palm first introduced the Pre, most tech users were excited to get their hands on it. The device had the ability to multitask and, thanks to a nice design, it looked like it would be a viable alternative to the iPhone. But once the Pre launched, all its troubles stole the show. It had battery problems that Palm took too long to address. It lacked native third-party apps. And the touch screen wasn’t as nice as some had hoped. Today, it’s an also-ran on a network that no one cares about. It has to go.

Even Popular Science ranked the Pre as one of the best gadgets of 2009, calling it “A socially skilled phone”. And don’t forget about Consumer Reports, that calls the Palm Pre one of the best products of 2009 on their smartphone section. Well, rant over, eWeek, seriously, what has gotten into you, too much iKoolaid? Anyway, everyone is entitled to their own opinion.
