Jason Chen of Gizmodo recently reviewed the new Palm Pre, Palm’s latest—and promising—iPhone competitor. His verdict?

The reason the core functionality and design have remained the same for the last two years is because both the form and function of the iPhone have been scrutinized by the iPhone team working at Apple, down to every last detail. For the past two years the iPhone has remained the same because it works—practically flawlessly. Jason is obviously bored of the “swiping and pinching” of the iPhone. It’s time for “something different?” Really? Change in design should be prompted by necessity, reason, and logic. Good design is lasting design, not “something different.”
