Here are the raw specs on the just announced, soon to be released cell phone handset from Palm. Stay tuned for another post on our thoughts on the product (hint: we love it!).
- 3.1 inch HVGA (320x480px) capacitive multitouch touchscreen with gesture area
- slide-out QWERTY keyboard
- GPS
- 3 Megapixel camera
- 8GB internal memory
- 802.11b/g Wifi
- microUSB connector
- user replaceable battery
- new Web-centric Palm OS (named appropriately webOS) that offers true multitasking
- integration of messaging (text, IM, Facebook, etc.) in 1 application without needing to switch between various apps
- slide out QWERTY keyboard (yet still same weight as an iPhone)
- development for apps uses HTML, CSS, & Javascript
- curved shape (not perfectly flat)
- Proximity sensor, which automatically disables the touch screen and turns off the display whenever you put the phone up to your ear
- Light sensor, which dims the display if the ambient light is dark, such as at night or in a movie theater, to reduce power usage
- Accelerometer, which automatically orients web pages and photos to your perspective
