Palm Pre soon to reach India

Just like Apple’s iPhone and Google’s Android phones, Palm pre is one of the most happening discovery of the mobile industry supporting one of the innovative platform – webos.

The Pre is the first Palm device to use webOS, the Linux-based platform that replaces Palm's previous Palm OS. WebOS is capable of supporting built-in first party applications, as well as third party applications.The webOS interface is based on a system of "cards" used to manage multitasking. Applications can be launched from either the "Launcher", which displays a default of three pages of applications icons in a scrollable grid, or the Quick Launch bar, which displays five icons inline horizontally. Applications are closed by flicking a "card" up—and "off"—the screen. WebOS also supports multi-touch gestures, enabling most navigational input to be made using the touchscreen.



The Pre features a 3.1-inch capacitive touchscreen over a 24-bit color 320×480 resolution, HVGA liquid-crystal display. The touchscreen allows for manipulation of the UI with fingers instead of a stylus, commonly used with older Palm phones and PDAs. Below the display is the "Gesture Area", a touch-sensitive area with LED underlighting that permits additional touch commands.

Like other recent Palm phones, the Palm features a full QWERTY keyboard. On the Pre, the keyboard slides out, and is curved to follow the contour of the human face. In addition to the keyboard, the device features a single button in the center of the Gesture Area, a volume rocker switch on the side, and a ringer switch on the top.



The Pre features three input sensors that allow it to respond to its surroundings. An accelerometer automatically changes the orientation of the display between landscape and portrait when the device is rotated in the user's hands. An ambient light sensor allows the Pre to automatically adjust the brightness of its display. A proximity sensor allows the Pre to disregard touch inputs when the phone is held close to a user's face during a call. The Pre also has an integrated 3.2 megapixel digital camera with LED flash.

The Pre will be available with high-speed connectivity on either EVDO Rev. A or UMTS HSDPA, depending on location. The Pre also includes 802.11b/g WiFi and Bluetooth 2.1+EDR with support for A2DP stereo headsets. A-GPS with support for turn-by-turn navigation is also included.

For charging and data-transfer, the Pre uses a microUSB connector with USB 2.0 support, and audio output is supported by a standard 3.5 mm headphone jack.[18] While the phone reports support for the Bluetooth DUN protocol, Sprint is not permitting use of the Pre in tethered (or"Phone as Modem") mode, and has made no announcements that this mode will be offered in the future.

The Pre has 8.0 GB of internal flash storage (approximately 7.4 GB of which is user accessible). The Pre does not have a flash memory card slot.

Recently, there were rumors that Palm pre’s GSM version would be soon rolled for Indian mobile users but there are no official information about it yet.
