Hands-on with Pre Plus and here.
Dieter Bohn wrote, "All we can say is that the Pre Plus seems to perform faster and better than the original Pre. Whether that's an effect of a clean, fresh device primed for demoing or a real indicator that the Pre Plus really deserves that Plus remains to be seen."
In Palm's Blog post, Jon Zilber pointed out the following:
"At today's event, Palm also demonstrated some of the additional options that developers will be able to leverage, including Flash content in the browser on a Palm Pre. Palm expects a free Adobe Flash Player 10.1 plug-in to be posted to the Palm App Catalog in the coming months and expects Palm webOS to be one of the first mobile platforms to include the full Flash Player in the web browser.
Finally, Palm demonstrated a new feature that all Palm webOS customers can look forward to: the ability to capture, edit, and share video. This functionality will be available via a free over-the-air software update."
