Palm’s next-generation smartphone is a touch-based device called the Pre, which features a 3.1-inch display with 320 x 480 resolution, and EVDO Rev. A for connectivity, as well as GPS, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 2.1+EDR with stereo support. The Pre will come with an astonishing 8GB of on-board storage, a slide-out QWERTY keyboard, a replaceable battery, and a 3.5mm headset jack.

Its 3 megapixel camera with LED flash will be superior to what you would expect to find in a handheld device, and the next-generation mobile platform, called webOS, will include gesture-based input for interacting with the Pre. Look for the Pre to be released on the Sprint network in the first half of 2009. Palm says that it is also working on a WCDMA version of the Pre, although the release date on that version has not yet been announced.
