Palm Pre Combines Touchscreen and Keyboard
Friday, January 9, 2009 10:00AM - By Jared Newman
This new handset from Palm gets in on the touch screen craze with a 3.1-inch, 320×480 resolution display. Underneath is a full QWERTY keyboard, so you don’t have to clutter your screen with a virtual one. Transitions between applications are smooth and fast thanks to Palm’s new WebOS platform powered by TI’s OMAP CPU. There’s also a wireless charger — the first ever in a mainstream phone — plus a 3 megapixel camera with LED flash. Here are some more alphabet and number soup specs for you: EV-DO Rev. A, 802.11b/g WiFi, GPS, Bluetooth with A2DP and 8GB of built-in flash memory. [Engadget via SlipperyBrick]
