Palm Pre demo shows off features Apple doesn’t allow

Palm showed off many features of their yet to be released Pre this week at the CTIA Wireless Association’s annual event. Many of the features appear to be direct arguments towards getting a Palm Pre over Apple’s iPhone. For example, Palm showed off the Palm Pre version of the Pandora application at their Sprint booth. Since the Pre allows background processes, it was pretty powerful to see users be able to listen to Pandora while doing other things on the phone, as well as skip songs from anywhere on the phone.
