Palm for the youngsters
TAKING the next step toward rebuilding its lineup,Palm has announced a new cellphone called the Pixi aimed at younger customers. The phone will have a smaller touchscreen and be slimmer than the Pre,but share many of the same features,including 8 GB storage and GPS capabilities. Like the Pre,the Pixi runs on the companys new operating system,called WebOS,which promises speedy browsing. The Pixi has a full,exposed keyboard,which Palm executives hope will attract a younger buyer who favours features like text-messaging. Pixi will also feature a removable backplate that can be swapped with a series of interchangeable panels made by illustrators,graphic artists and fashion designers.
