Palm Pixi mobile phone

Palm would like it to be known, in no uncertain terms, that there's room in the superphone market for more than one model.

Palm would like it to be known, in no uncertain terms, that there's room in the superphone market for more than one model.

Not content with launching the Pre over in the States this summer, it's now lining up its next contender: which goes by the name of Pixi. It runs the same WebOS operating system as the Pre, but it loses the slide-out keyboard for a more traditional design.

It features a 2.63in touchscreen, Qwerty keyboard, 8GB of internal memory and GPS all packed into a slim frame measuring just 55 x 111 x 11mm and weighing 99.5g.

The Pixi will be available later in the year, price depends on contract. For more information, see Palm.
