CES 2009: palm pre

CES 2009: palm pre



the smart phone market is a crowded one. it seems that almost every mobile device maker has
at least one product in this marketplace, if not more. one of the early pioneers in the field, palm,
slowly lost market share over time. in an effort to regain their place, palm launched their new
‘pre’ smart phone yesterday at CES. the device is a slick entry that goes head to head with the
iphone, blackberry and similar devices. the product features a curvy touchscreen which measures
3.1 inches, however it also has a slide out keyboard for typing. like the iphone, the pre can be
turned sideways and automatically switches into a widescreen mode. built in wifi, GPS, bluetooth
and a 3 megapixel camera are all included. the major innovation in the palm pre is their all-new
webOS platform, which is filled with powerful graphic and gesture-based interactions. additionally
the device’s charger uses wireless power, a first in a mainstream device. the palm pre is set to
launch early this year.
