Palm has just announced and unveiled its new smartphone called Palm Pre. Now, this not-so-original smartphone is nothing new to tell you the truth, since we are quite accustomed to these kind of toys, isn’t it? But what makes it worth being described is its brand new operating system which marks a strong break with the past and the well-known PalmOS.

Palm Pre, differently from the other Palm phones sports a nice, brand new operating system called WebOS. This OS features  a web based application suite, support for touchscreen, background applications and a strong connection  with the Internet from which it depends to improve the user’s experience.

• Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g
