Palm has introduced the Palm Pre cell phone. It looks ready to take up the battle with Apple’s iPhone. Take a look a the many photos on Palm’s own website to see for yourself.
The Pam Pre uses Palm’s new webOS operating system. It has an 3.1 inch, 24 bit, 320×480 pixel screen. It has a physical slide-out QWERTY keyboard as opposed to the current trend of virtual keyboards, and it has removable batteries. The Palm Pre has GPS, Wi-Fi 802.11b/g, and Bluetooth support.
The past few days, the tech media have been all over the announcement. Wired has a good story about it. And Computer World has an excellent summary of what the media are saying.
There is no word yet on the price of the Palm Pre.
Update 1/25/2009: See the Palm’s presentation of the Pre at CES. It is fairly long, but includes a very good demonstration of the Pre and its capabilities.
