Palm’s Pixi Up Close

9:22AM Matt Buchanan | The Palm Pixi’s oddly hard-bodied for a phone that’s otherwise appropriately named. Even the matte rubber back feels stiff and unforgiving. But the keyboard reminds me of Rice Bubbles. In a good way. More »

Walmart Hacks Palm Pixi’s Price Down To Size: $US30 At Launch

5:31AM John Herrman | It looks like retailers are going to have to do what Palm won’t: Make the Palm Pixi genuinely cheap, or at least cheaper than the Pre. For example! Walmart’s already slashed the Pixi’s price from $US100 to $US30 — pre-launch. More »

Creepiness Strangely Absent From New Palm Pixi Commercial

2:16PM Rosa Golijan | She was shot in a movie, but apparently the creepy Pre girl died Palm’s world, too. This new Pixi ad is full of fun, happy people using the phone while “Sleepyhead” by Passion Pit plays in the background. Huge improvement. More »

1:28AM John Herrman | It’s no secret that Palm’s been taking it niiiice ‘n slow with their app strategy, whatever it is. Here’s their next baby step: Ares, a browser-based, drag-and-drop development toolkit for making simple apps. It’s a marginally good idea! More »

1:31AM John Herrman | Sprint’s just gone public with its plans for the Pixi: One c-note, payable on November 15. It’s not the aggressive, bottom-scraping pricing I was hoping to see for Palm’s second, daintier webOS device, but $US100 isn’t exactly expensive, either. [BusinessInsider]

11:45AM Adrian Covert | Boy Genius has word from an anonymous source that the Palm Pixi should be hitting all Sprint and Best Buy locations (US only) on October 20.

Inside The Palm Pixi’s Brains

8:55AM Matt Buchanan | When Jason played with the Palm Pixi, Palm implied it wasn’t quite as gutsy as the Pre—it’s gonna be cheaper, after all—but didn’t get into details. Well, Palm InfoCenter’s got the full spec breakdown for its Qualcomm MSM7627 brain: two ARM cores, one running at 600MHz (for apps) and another at 400MHz, with a 200MHz 3D graphics core that supports OpenGL 2.0 (like the iPhone 3GS, which is actually an advtange over the Pre).
