Check out all the deets on the Pre here (Palm website).

The intro:
The new Palm® Pre™ phone is always thinking ahead to make your life easier. Pre pulls your different online calendars into one view, bringing you the information you want without having to search for it. Pre links your contacts from different sources, giving you one place to find what you need. And Pre delivers incoming messages¹ and notifications in an intuitively subtle way, letting you react or respond however you want. People, events, information that matters. With Palm Pre, it’ll come to you.

~ in short, Palm is saying: we make life easier, we care about calendars, contacts, messaging and easy search. Just like the old Pilots (messaging not withstanding).

And from Apple, about the 3G iPhone:
Introducing iPhone 3G. With fast 3G wireless technology, GPS mapping, support for enterprise features like Microsoft Exchange, and the new App Store, iPhone 3G puts even more features at your fingertips. And like the original iPhone, it combines three products in one — a revolutionary phone, a widescreen iPod, and a breakthrough Internet device with rich HTML email and a desktop-class web browser. iPhone 3G. It redefines what a mobile phone can do — again.

~ as for Apple: fast, GPS (ie, location based services), enterprise support, apps, apps, apps, and of course, its an iPod too, people.

I, for one, feel like this is the REAL deal in terms of true iPhone competition. Should be an interesting year.
