Fan-made Pre ad gets the point, why can’t Palm? (video)

We’ve already talked (at length) about Palm’s failure to properly present its wares to the public.

It shows off the handsome device, the effortless multitasking, the variety of apps, integrated services and video capabilities, and, most importantly, emphasizes the sheer beauty and ease of use of WebOS. See the video after the break.
