A virtual look at the new Palm Pre
Posted By RichC on January 8, 2009
It was a nice day to be a Palm user when on Thursday afternoon the company announced their long awaited smartphone with a new operating system (followed on Twitter). 
The sleek new phone with a sliding QWERTY physical keyboard “looked” to be precisely what many Palm advocates have been waiting for — I’m looking forward to getting my hands on one. For now, I’ll just envy the photos and read the Palm blog posts.
