Palm has introduced the Palm Pixi. The Palm Pixi is a cutesy candybar handset as opposed to the Pre�s slider form factor, but like that device it is equipped with both a touchscreen and QWERTY keypad. The Palm Pixi, which will be out in the US in time for Christmas, has a slightly smaller screen than its predecessor in order to make way for a full qwerty keyboard.
The Pixi will also run Palm�s WebOS, bringing with it all its unique features such as the combined contacts database that pulls in information from Facebook. It will also get full multi-touch support on the screen and the gesture area underneath the display. The 3.5-ounce Pixi boasts a full keyboard, a 2-megapixel camera, 2.63-inch multitouch screen with 320�400 resolution, GPS, Bluetooth and accelerometer.
The Pixi comes with 8 GB of onboard storage for media, video, and documents (about 7 GB is accessible to users), and owners can sideload media via a microUSB 2.0 connector, and features EVDO Rev A 3G connectivity .
The Pixi�s webOS offers a centralized view of contacts and messaging. In addition to linking information from Google, Facebook and Exchange ActiveSync, Palm Pixi adds Yahoo and LinkedIn integration to Palm Synergy � the built-in webOS feature for aggregating social networking and IM into a single view.
The Pixi is expected to be cheaper than the Palm Pre�and the companies just cut $50 off the price of the existing Palm Pre.
