Graphics, User Interfaces The Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas is filled to the brim with product announcements and new useful (and useless) gadgets, but some stand out more than others. One item that topped the headlines the past few days is Palm's announcement of its brand new operating system.

How the iPhone can be outdate when in a first place the Pre has obviously taken a lot of design and interface ideas from it?

This has got to be one of the most stupid utterings I've ever heard. Compare: "How can the Ford Model T be outdated when new cars have obviously taken a lot of design ideas from it?"

We don't know yet if this IS better. A few comments from easily impressionable tech writers means nothing.

While I see some good things here, I see some strange, and possibly backwards ones as well.

We also don't know how well any of these features will work. just because they are there doesn't mean that they will work properly, or usefully. The metaphor is also being overhyped. no matter how you look at it, it IS program -centric.

I see nothing here that is revolutionary.
