The Palm Pre features a 3.1 inch multi touch display with a resolution of 329 x 480, and a built in full QWERTY keyboard, on top of that there is a built in accelerometer.


The Palm Pre runs Palm’s new webOS platform, has built in 802.11b/g WiFi, GPS, Bluetooth, a 3 megapixel camera with an LED flash and 8GB of flash memory, there is also a wireless charger, which is pretty impressive, personally I hate wires.

Another interesting feature is combined messaging, which shows all your conversations with one person grouped together in one chat style view.

From a first looks at the specifications and the new Palm webOS, the Palm Pre certainly looks like a very impressive smartphone, could the iPhone finally have some competition?

The lucky chaps over at Boy Genius Report have managed to get their hands all over Sony Ericsson's latest and greatest -- the hotly anticipated Xperia X1. Early word is that the 800 x 480 screen, optical joystick, and speedy HSDPA data are all very welcome, but the keyboard (which looks like it would be a joy to type on) leaves a lot to be desired. Of course, the OS should come as no surprise, and they don't seem to have any shots of Sony's "panel interface," so for now you'll have to make do with some nice looks at the exteriors of the device. Hit the read link and check it out yourself.
