In case you haven’t already been practicing all those fancy Palm Pre-gestures or forgot which is which, Engadget scored the entire how-to guide. The Palm Pre gesture guide walks you through everything you need to know in order to make the best use of your pre’cious. Palm seemed to have forgotten to include copy and paste gestures.
I created a slow-motion video of all the key gestures for your viewing enjoyment.
