Palm today announced the Pixi, a lighter, lower-priced smartphone in the same family as its popular Palm Pre smartphone.
"The combination of announcing a new device and changing the price on the Pre show we're aggressively pursuing new customers to get them accessing the WebOS experience," said Katie Mitic, Palm's senior vice president of product marketing. The Pixi, running Palm's latest WebOS software, is the company's second attempt to lure consumers away from Apple's iPhone and Research In Motion's BlackBerry devices in the fast-growing smartphone market. The Pixi is longer, slimmer and lighter than the Pre and instead of a center key, comes with a touch-sensitive bar located between the screen and keyboard. It also features a touch screen, QWERTY keyboard, 2.0-megapixel camera, music player, dual speakers and 8GB of built-in memory -- but not Wi-Fi. Palm said the Pixi will launch in the holiday season and that the price would be revealed later.
