Palm Unveils Smartphone Operating System
09 Jan 2009
Palm Inc unveiled a new touchscreen smartphone and operating system, marking its latest attempt to catch up with competition from Research In Motion Ltd's BlackBerry and Apple Inc's iPhone.
Palm executives touted their Pre, which looks similar to the iPhone, with a face dominated mostly by a 3.1-inch touchscreen and single button.
The body of the Pre is black and slightly curved, with a full QWERTY keyboard that slides out from the bottom.
The Pre will come loaded with features including Wi-Fi, stereo Bluetooth and GPS, as well as 8 GB of storage space, a 3-megapixel camera and music and video playback.
The Pre also has a variety of sensors, such as an accelerometer so images on the screen will rotate when a user turns the device on its side.
The device comes with Palm's new operating system, Palm webOS, which the company also debuted.
