Palm Gets Small with the Pixi

Palm just announced the Pixi, a thinner and less expensive version of the Palm Pre. Running on the Palm webOS, the Pixi features a visible full keyboard and rubberized back cover. Unlike the Pre, the Pixi does not have Wi-Fi.

Weighing in at just 3.51 ounces, the Pixi features a 2.63-inch touch screen, Built-in GPS, 2 megapixel camera with LED flash, Bluetooth connectivity, 3.5mm stereo headphone jack, 8GB memory and MicroUSB connector with USB 2.0 Hi-Speed.

Palm will also be offering the Palm Pixi Artist Series with limited-edition back covers in cool designs. See the first designs in the Artist Series at www.palm.com/artistseries.

The Pixi will be available as a Sprint exclusive in time for the holidays. No pricing has been announced. However, Palm did announce new pricing on the Palm Pre. You can now get the Pre from Sprint for as low as $149.99 with contract.
