The Palm Pre (styled as palm pr? and pronounced as the English (English language) prefix pre, IPA-en?pri?) is a multimedia smartphone designed and marketed by Palm (Palm, Inc.) with a multi-touch screen and a sliding keyboard. The smartphone was the first to use Palms Linux based mobile operating system, webOS (currently version 1.4.2). The Pre functions as a camera phone, a portable media player, and has location and navigation (GPS) capabilities. The Pre also serves as a personal information manager, has a number of communication and collaboration applications, and has Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity built-in.
The Pre was launched on June 6, 2009 with Sprint (Sprint Nextel), and later also went on sale in Canada with Bell Mobility. A GSM version of the original Pre was launched later in 2009 on a number of networks in Europe and in Mexico. A revised model, the Palm Pre Plus, which doubled the available memory (RAM) and internal storage, was launched on January 25, 2010 for Verizon Wireless. Also later released on AT&T Mobility on May 16, 2010.
The Pre has received positive reviews from technology critics, winning CNETs Best in Show, Best in Category: Cell Phones & Smartphones, and Peoples Voice for CES 2009 (Consumer Electronics Show).
