I'm a former Palm and Treo junkie. When I first saw the Pre (right after buying my Touch Pro, of course), I felt pangs of buyer's remorse. However, I began to think about the actual capabilities of the Pre vs. TP. Even though the "card system" of multi-tasking looks extremely cool, in practice it doesn't really offer any advantage of the TP. If I want to switch among tasks, I would have to press the button to bring up the 'cards' for running programs, flip among them, and then press the program I want to switch to. That's really no more convenient than hitting "home", press the x in the corner, and selecting a program.

The universal search is very cool, and I don't really see the need for more memory than the 8Gb it offers, but I don't see functional improvements.
