Palm announced a new webOS device called the Palm Pixi. Armed with a new slim design and a strikingly visible keyboard, users can easily personalize the Palm Pixi phone according to their liking.

Pixi runs on the Palm webOS platform so it does things no other phone can do. Take the Palm Synergy feature, which brings together related information and presents it in one simple view. Or the App Catalog, which gives you a choice of titles to download, many of which are integrated with other apps on the phone. And the ability to keep multiple applications open at once, so you can do more than one thing without losing your place.
