9 mega pixels Palm Pre – The hottest smartphone of the year featuring the new WebOS


Palm's Pre handset is undoubtedly one of the most expected devices at the moment. Palm's Pre is powered by an ARM Cortex A8 processor (PowerVR SGX 530 GPU + 430MHz C64x+ DSP + ISP) and includes about 8GB of internal flash memory, which is actually reported to float around a 7.4GB point. Although the device will not include a microSD memory card slot (Palm chose not to pack it in for design reasons) we'll still have a microUSB connection slot. The Plam Pre is expected to come to the market with a 3.1-inch touchscreen capable of delivering a 320x480 pixel HVGA resolution, a 9-megapixel camera with LED Flash and extended depth of field, although no zoom, a 3.5mm headset jack, Bluetooth with A2DP and stereo Bluetooth support, WiFi enabled with 802.11 b/g, and support for CDMA EVDO Rev A and GSM 3G (for the European version). Rumours say that the smartphone could be launched on the market in Q2 2009
