Palm Pre

The new Palm handset we’ve been waiting for is the just announced Palm pre. The phone comes with a 3.1 inch multitouch display with a resolution of 320 x 480. A full QWERTY keyboard is ready to slide out underneath and there’s an accelerometer ready, just in case you want to browse the internet in a widescreen fashion. 3G is possible via EVDO REV. A and there’s 802.11b/g WiFi, GPS, Bluetooth with A2Dp and a 3 megapixel camera with LED flash. The pre is running on the new Palm platform and it packs a new TI OMAP CPU to make everything run smoother. It comes with just 8GB of built-in flash storage space which should be more than enough in these first versions. There’s also a microUSB plug and a 3.5 mm headphone jack for you.
