CES 2010: Palm Pre Plus and Pixi Plus

Palm has enjoyed a fair amount of success over the last 12 months since announcing the Palm Pre back at CES last year.  Since then, the Pixi has come out, and Sprint has been the exclusive provider since.  That’s all about to change with the announcement this week that the Pre Plus and Pixi Plus are both coming at the end of January, to Verizon Wireless.  Here are some of the details.

  • Updated design
  • Twice the internal memory – now 16GB
  • Touchstone-compatible back cover now standard
  • The Pre Plus takes out the navigation button
  • The Pixi now includes Wi-Fi
  • A new application for the Pre and Pixi Plus adds 3G tethering over WiFi to the device, similar to the Mi-Fi.  Connect up to 5 different devices at the same time.
  • These are exclusive devices to Verizon, and will launch on January 25th.

    Just to clarify, these are being released on January 25th not September 25th.

    Thanks Ryan, I corrected it. Must have had September on the brain.
