Palm Pre Plus and Palm Pixi Plus - another attempt to catch up with the iPhone
At the CES 2010 exhibition that is taking place these days, Palm introduced the new Pre Plus and Pixi Plus smartphones. Having released the first “modern” model Pre to the smartphone last year, they immediately predicted the role of the “killer iPhone”, but this did not happen, perhaps the new models will be able to compete with the Apple phone?
Palm CEO Jon Rubinstein (Jon Rubinstein) reported that the Pre Plus model has received 16GB of internal memory and simplified navigation, this Palm has placed particular emphasis. The navigation key that was in the Pre model and in the top photo is not yet in development.

Pixi Plus received support for Wi-Fi, Rubinstein called the smartphone "perfect." Both Pre Plus and Pixi Plus will receive the Palm Mobile Hotspot software, which allows you to make a mobile access point for 5 devices (Wi-Fi or 3G) from smarfton.
Prices for new smartphones have not yet announced. In my opinion, the devices are clearly inferior to the Apple iPhone and Google Nexus One, although they are more attractive than a year ago. We hope for the revival of the once legendary company Palm.
