Source: Palm To Unveil Pixie Phone This Week
Palm will unveil its second WebOS phone this week, internally named the “Pixie,” we’ve heard from a source close to the company. The debut will occur as part of Fashion Week in New York.
As we wrote back in April, the new phone will have the same operating system as the Palm Pre but will be much lower priced ($99). The latest information we have on the hardware specs is here.
Palm has never verified the existence of the Pixie, but enough sources in Asia and the U.S. have confirmed the phone that there is little question it has been in the planning stages for some time.
As usual, Palm’s timing is odd. Apple is holding a major event tomorrow that will likely focus on new iPod Touch features. The Palm Pre launched just days before the iPhone 3Gs
