Palm Pre

Palm has announced a new Palm Pre at CES ’09. This phone is a mul­ti­touch with a slide open key­board. It has a 3.1 inch 480×320 screen and many fea­tures like EV-DO Rev. A, WiFi, 3MP cam­era with LED flash, blue­tooth, 3.5mm head­phone jack, 8GB inter­nal stor­age. Also this phone is run on Web OS (Linux), which is it inte­grate all web con­tents into one interface.

The phone will be released on the first half of 2009 on Sprint net­work, no detail about the price yet. Well, this phone can do way bet­ter than the iphone and will beat the iphone, sup­pos­edly. I don’t hate iphone or any­thing but only thing that I don’t like about iphone is touch­screen key­board (not very pre­cisely like a nor­mal key­board). Guess I’ll keep look­ing for­ward to this phone, Palm Pre.
