Michael Mace makes a ton of good points on his round up of the Pre and how it compares to the iPhone, including this:

The Pre does not look like the Treo or any previous Palm product. If anything, it looks like an iPhone with some of its limitations fixed. The design of the hardware, graphics, the fonts, the way things move on screen, and the touchscreen gestures are all elegant, and reminded me intensely of the iPhone.

There is lot of buzz out there about the Pre and the potential that Apple will be suing Palm shortly for all kinds of patent infringements. All this buzz couldnt be better PR for the Pre. Apple should keep a tight lid on anything official, or they will only be fueling the buzz fire.

The device 'looks' cool, and I am certain that the loyal Palm users out there (yes, they are there and in waiting) are barely containing themselves to get their hands on the device.

Certainly the device is very similar, in both look and feature set, but there are key differences, MOST notably the slider keyboard.

My guess is the Apple lets it all slide, and comes out and praises it.

I'm definitely going to buy one, and I'll be giving full feedback on the comparison.
