If you’re like me, you’ve heard about the Palm Pre and are wondering how it will affect the smartphone landscape.  Though most of the phone’s specifications are out there for the world to see, there’s still more to know and much to be discussed.  Who will develop apps for the Pre?  What accessories are on the way?  Or, more importantly, when exactly is it coming out and how much will it cost?  And these are just our pre-launch questions!  When the phone launches, there’ll be even more to talk about.

With that in mind, we’ve launched Pre Community to serve as a gathering point for everyone interested in the Pre.  Whether you’re the world’s biggest Palm fan, an ex-Palm user or someone who wants to learn more about the Pre, we hope you’ll join us in building a thriving community.  We’d love to see the forums fill up – join us!

On the blog side, I’ll regularly write articles and keep you up to date on everything Pre.  I’d also love to hear from you, and I hope to highlight Pre Community members regularly on the blog.  You are what makes this work – without the people, a community is nothing. :]

Questions?  Ideas for how we can make Pre Community more useful?  Don’t hesitate to get in touch!  You can find me on Twitter, @shawn.  Also, be sure to follow @PalmPre for the latest Pre info, delivered right to your Twitterstream.  If you’re on facebook, make sure to join the Palm Pre Community.

Thanks for visiting, and from everyone at Pre Community – welcome!
