Palm Pre User Guide: the highlights, so far

When word that Sprint Gurus had gotten hold of the Palm Pre User Guide came across our desks yesterday, we couldn’t wait to get our eyes all over it… and then we saw that it was almost as long as Infinite Jest. Okay, we kid, it’s not as bad as all that — just 344 pages of heretofore unseen glorious tidbits. So here’s what we’ve culled thus far: first, the Pre’s main musical squeeze, Amazon MP3, will queue your music downloads when on the 3G network for later download when the device is on a WiFi network — which is sure to cause annoyance and dismay the whole world over (and by “world” we mean the Pre’s world, which is the US only). There’s however, plenty of good news: the Pre will, in fact have IMAP IDLE (AKA Push) Gmail abilities, meaning that you’ll get your spam nearly the moment it hits Gmail’s servers. Finally, the previously spied Reminder field in the Pre’s Contacts has been found out, and it’s a really awesome feature allowing you to make a note and attach it to a particular contact, so that the next time you’re in contact with that person, the reminder will pop up and… remind you. For anyone suffering mild memory loss (like us) tiny touches like this are sure to make the Pre a more attractive proposition. Hit the read link for the full manual, and let us know what you find. Warning: the user’s manual is a PDF, and has an insanely large Sprint Gurus watermark across every blasted page.
