Palm’s Pixi Up Close: A Gallery

The Palm Pixi‘s oddly hard-bodied for a phone that’s otherwise appropriately named. Even the matte rubber back feels stiff, and unforgiving. But the keyboard reminds me of Rice Krispies. In a good way. https://gizmodo.com/palm-pixi-hands-on-the-smaller-pre-with-a-better-keybo-5355112 When you stroke the gesture area between the screen and the keyboard, the glowing indicator stares out of the center like…

Walmart Hacks the Palm Pixi’s Price Down to Size: $30 at Launch

It looks like retailers are going to have to do what Palm won’t: Make the Palm Pixi genuinely cheap, or at least cheaper than the Pre. For example! Walmart’s already cut the Pixi’s price from $100 to $30—pre-launch. The $30 Pixis (Pixies?) are backordered already, probably because this is far and away the best deal…

Creepiness Strangely Absent From New Palm Pixi Commercial

After dying in a movie, apparently the creepy Pre girl died in Palm’s world, too. This new Pixi ad is full of fun, happy people using the phone while “Sleepyhead” by Passion Pit plays in the background. Huge improvement. https://gizmodo.com/someone-shot-the-creepy-palm-pre-chick-in-a-movie-5357824

Palm Gives Pre Developers a Stupid-Simple Tool to Make Stupid-Simple Apps

It’s no secret that Palm’s been taking it niiiice ‘n slow with their app strategy, whatever it is. Here’s their next baby step: Ares, a browser-based, drag-and-drop development toolkit for making simple apps. It’s a marginally good idea! https://gizmodo.com/palm-couldnt-pick-a-better-first-paid-webos-app-than-ai-5374793 In a way, software written in Ares is the purest kind of web app: It’s designed…

How Palm Lost (Like Apple in the ’80s)

The Droid, and Android 2.0 as a whole, isn’t going to kill the iPhone. That’s ridiculous. Teamed with the iPhone, though, it just straight up murdered Palm—the same way that Microsoft brought Apple to its knees decades ago. Reviews aren’t even hitting yet, but the early consensus is clear: Android 2.0 is the first version…

Palm Pixi Lands on Sprint November 15th, For $100

Sprint’s just gone public with its plans for the Pixi: a single c-note, payable November 15th. It’s not the aggressive, bottom-scraping pricing I was hoping to see for Palm’s second, daintier webOS device, and just $50 less than the Pre. https://gizmodo.com/palm-pixi-hands-on-the-smaller-pre-with-a-better-keybo-5355112 The Pixi is generally thought of as a hardware downgrade from it’s older brother,…

Palm Pixi Could Hit Sprint, Best Buy on October 20

Boy Genius has word from an anonymous source that the Palm Pixi should be hitting all Sprint and Best Buy locations on October 20. Few other details are offered up on Palm’s second WebOS phone, but if it’s going to come out before the end of the year, the date seems logical.

Inside the Palm Pixi’s Brains

When Jason played with the Palm Pixi, Palm implied it wasn’t quite as gutsy as the Pre—it’s gonna be cheaper, after all—but didn’t get into details. Well, Palm InfoCenter’s got the full breakdown for its Qualcomm MSM7627 brains: https://gizmodo.com/palm-pixi-hands-on-the-smaller-pre-with-a-better-keybo-5355112 Two ARM cores, one running at 600MHz (for apps) and another at 400MHz, with a 200MHz…

Palm Pixi Hands On: The Smaller Pre With A Better Keyboard and No Wi-Fi

The Palm Pixi is just what you’d get when you ask your engineers to take the Pre, keep as much stuff as possible, but make it smaller. It’s a keyboarded candybar (with webOS), but it loses some vitals like Wi-Fi. The Details The important bits: It still runs webOS, still has a keyboard, still only…
