Verizon’s Palm Pre Plus and Pixi Plus detailed: memory & WiFi added

, Jan 6th 2010 Discuss [0]

Remember the Palm Pre Plus and Pixi Plus?  We heard back in the tail end of December that they were pretty much confirmed for a Verizon launch in 2010, and now a leaked spec sheet that looks to have come from inside the carrier has spilled the beans on what exactly makes them "Plus" material.  The bottom line?  More storage for one and WiFi for the other.

Verizon Palm Pre Plus and Pixi Plus apparently confirmed

, Dec 30th 2009 Discuss [0]

Having seen what looked to be FCC approval for a version of the Palm Pixi - called the Palm Pixi Plus - with WiFi b/g along with EVDO Rev.A, there's now talk that both it and a Palm Pre Plus will be headed to Verizon Wireless.  According to BGR's tipsters, the two CDMA handsets will both run webOS 1.3.5 rather than anything newer, which seems to suggest a launch would be sooner rather than later.

Palm Pixi with WiFi b/g clears FCC; en route to Verizon?

, Dec 14th 2009 Discuss [0]

Palm's omission of WiFi from the Palm Pixi smacked of little more than a needless attempt to better differentiate their "flagship" Pre from the new device, and so we're glad to see that change may be on the way.  A version of the Pixi has been caught clearing the FCC complete with both EVDO and WiFi b/g, presumably headed to Verizon Wireless.

webOS 1.3.2 speeds up Palm Pixi; 1.3.5 imminent

, Dec 2nd 2009 Discuss [0]

A sprinkling of webOS news this morning, as both a new update gets pushed out to Palm Pixi owners and a future update is tipped.  Palm Pixi owners are reporting that webOS 1.3.2 is being pushed to their handsets, though there's still no sign on Palm's Pixi software page, and while we're lacking an official changelog the new firmware is tipped to speed up how the smartphone handles multiple open applications. As for the rumored future update, that's believed to be webOS 1.3.5 and expected to arrive in mid-December.  The news was revealed by a loose-lipped O2 Germany rep, apparently, who explained that one of 1.3.5's tweaks will be to fix an SMS bug that roughly halves the character limit after a special letter is entered.

GSM Palm Pixi caught in wild: only 4GB of storage?

, Oct 6th 2009 Discuss [0]

Palm 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 dump WinMo; Pre sales good but profits not

, Sep 18th 2009 Discuss [0]

Palm 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

, Sep 11th 2009 Discuss [1]

We'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.

In 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.  The first sticker cut the webOS smartphone has seen since its launch several months ago, the reduction suggests that Sprint are aiming for a roughly $99.99 tag for the Pixi when it launches later in the year.
