Every now and then there's nothing wrong with tooting your own horn. The Official Palm Blog is doing just that. These are just 3 of the big ones, check out the full toot here .

"It was just last Thursday that Palm unveiled the Pre and webOS, and the response has been nothing short of overwhelming. Here’s a quick recap of the whirlwind week that was."

The Pre was almost immediately recognized with several prestigious awards:

A few days ago many had written Palm off as a company who had made too many missteps, too many delays in brining out their next generation operating system, and no new significant hardware to be a player against the likes of Apple's iPhone, RIM's BlackBerry, and Windows Mobile.

It's funny how things can change so quickly. Palm is not only being seen as a formidable player again, but the introduction of the Palm webOS and the Pre is now being seen as superior to the offerings from the same companies who many thought Palm wouldn't be able to compete with. So toot your own horn Palm, you definitely deserve it!!!
