How the new Palm Pre Smartphone Can Help Lawyers….
Sprint has finally released the much anticipated Palm Pre Smartphone. After manipulating it for several hours today, I have decided that it can certainly be beneficial to any lawyer’s productivity. It is very small, about 2/3 the size of my last several phones. It was extremely easy to sync with Microsoft Exchange for Outlook email, calendar and contacts which helps lawyers stay connected with the office when we are away. The applications that come with the phone allow for viewing of documents and PDFs. And the large screen makes it easy to see websites fully and clearly. Additionally, it is easy to type on with the slide-out keyboard–much more useful than my last phone.
I am looking forward to the productivity apps–similar to those that the Apple iphone now has–that hopefully will come in the very near future. I would anticipate that applications that would allow for voice activated notes and dictation that can then be emailed to a legal assistant for transcription are on the horizon which would allow for even more efficient time for travel time in a vehicle. For now, however, I am very pleased with this phone. I’ll update again later once I have used it more.
