GSM Palm Pixi caught in wild: only 4GB of storage?
By Chris Davies on Tuesday, Oct 6th 2009 No CommentsPalm have not been shy about their intent to release a GSM version of the Palm Pixi, but up until now the Euro-friendly version of the candybar device has been missing in action. One such pre-production handset has shown up in Vietnam, however, with a SIM slot and a mysteriously low 4GB of onboard memory.
Palm Pixi hitting Sprint October 20th?
By Chris Davies on Friday, Oct 2nd 2009 1 CommentHaving played with the Palm Pixi early last month, we’ve been looking forward to the super-slim candybar’s full launch and the opportunity to take the second webOS smartphone for a second spin. According to the Boy Genius Report’s latest source, the Pixi is set to hit shelves – in both Sprint and Best Buy retail locations – on October 20th, which if true means there are only a few weeks to wait.
Palm dump WinMo; Pre sales good but profits not
By Chris Davies on Friday, Sep 18th 2009 No CommentsPalm have announced that they will be dropping Windows Mobile for future devices and instead focussing on their own platform, webOS. The news was an unsurprising addition to the company’s latest financial results, which also revealed that while Pre sales were strong – Palm saw a 134-percent increase in Q1 FY2010 smartphone sales from Q4 2009 – they still saw GAAP losses of $164.5m.

gDial Pro Google Voice app hits Palm Pre, plus 9 other titles
By Chris Davies on Friday, Sep 11th 2009 1 CommentWe’ll never argue with more apps showing up for the Palm Pre – after all, they just pave the way for a software download frenzy on the Palm Pixi when that arrives later in 2009 – so we’re glad to hear of another two webOS titles fresh to the Palm Beta App Catalog. First up is gDial Pro, an app which can be used to access and manage your Google Voice account; second comes iLike Concerts, a tool which looks out for your preferred artists and flags up nearby performances.

By Chris Davies on Wednesday, Sep 9th 2009 No CommentsIn case you didn’t spot it among all the live shots of the Palm Pixi and our hands-on video, Sprint have dropped the price of the Palm Pre from $199.99 to $149.99, presuming you’re willing to sign up to a two-year contract.

Palm Pixi powered by WebOS [Hands-on]
By Vincent Nguyen on Tuesday, Sep 8th 2009 No CommentsRumors of Palm releasing a candybar phone with front-facing QWERTY keyboard have been around since the launch of the Palm Pre. Well, as of tonight the Pixi is no longer a rumor. Similar to the Palm Pre, Pixi is powered by WebOS and has a multi-touch capacitive display, 8GB of internal user storage memory, the same removable 1150 mAh battery and proximity sensor, among other things. However it squeezes all of that into an incredibly compact casing: just 111 x 55 x 10.85 mm, thinner than an iPhone 3GS.
