At CTIA 2009, Palm showed off what the Pre can do with third party apps–and honestly, it looks pretty sweet. Pandora for iPhone was great, but simply didn’t make sense because you couldn’t do anything while listening. Multitasking is the future, whether Apple likes it or not.

It remains to be seen what type of battery life the Pre will have, especially given that power users that are going to have 10-15 apps or more open at a time (rumor has it there’s no limit on number of open applications).

In ther good news, we’re still on track for first half of 2009. Enjoy.
