A busy new year, and then, there's the new Palm Pre...

Since the new year has kicked in, its almost hard to believe its already the 8th of Jan! Its been somewhat of a busy start for me, workwise... but thats a good thing isn't it?

Close to a year and a bit now of running my blog, I have to say its been amazing. So many opportunities have arisen from it, and all I can say is, its going to be a great year of mobiles, mobiles and more mobiles..... oh yeah, more reviews too for d3xlabs.blogspot.com. Thanks to all my readers and friends for always "dropping by". Its really just my simple blog about Everything mobile.

What I have been looking forward to since the start has been the CES event in Las Vegas on 09Jan09. Its meant to be one of THE tech events to watch out for on a calendar. And boy did this year's launch prove to be worth the wait! Its no secret that the longest ever mobile that I've used so far is the Palm Treo 680. Love the Palm OS, always have, always will. But their OS has been showing signs of ageing lately, with the likes of iPhone taking the world by storm (and now, everyone else seems to have followed their footsteps). Treos didn't even have wifi or 3G! So sadly, it was time to move on...

Until now...

The newly announced PALM PRE. I've been watching hands-on videos on it all over the web. It looks very very intriguing. Of course, patience is the key as the time it will take to reach this side of the world would be around 6-8 months. That already feels like forever... Anyway, here are some teaser pictures and specs:
Specs:
  • High speed wireless (HSDPA)
  • Wifi
  • 3.1 inch 24 bit colour 480 x 320 display
  • slide out portrait QWERTY keyboard
  • Bluetooth 2.1
  • 3 mp camera with LED flash and extended depth of field
  • 3.5mm headphone jack
  • 8Gb of internal memory
  • Palm trademark - Ringer mute switch
Just look at that! Ladies and Gentlemen, Palm is back in the building....
(now, the wait...)

WAHAHAHAAHAHHAA... bro, do keep me in the loop. Availability, etc! Can't wait to be back on Palm!

Something interesting "3 mp camera with LED flash and extended depth of field" = bigger aperture! f/2.0?
