A new sexy babe is coming soon. The Palm Pre. I predict iPhone users/owners will be so envious, they might even cry when they see what this baby can do. Running on the new Palm WebOS, basically…it can do everything an iPhone can…but more, LOADS more! Now I won’t do like a full review, because I haven’t seen or tested the actual device yet as it’s suppose to be released only during the first half of 2009. Meaning, for it to reach our shores…it would probably be 3rd or 4th quarter of the year. But let me tell you about some of the KILLER features that will put iPhone to shame..

“Cards” to represent Applications
See the picture above? There are 3 “Cards” that represent 3 individual applications running at the same time. You can scroll through the “cards” and stop when you want to access an application. And if you want to close an application, simply “flick” the “card” upwards and it will close that particular application. How cool is that? The idea is somewhat similar to holding playing cards in your hand.

Full QWERTY keypad
As you can see, there is a full QWERTY keypad that slides right out for typing. This saves "real estate" space on your screen unlike the iPhone that requires an on screen keyboard for text inputs.

3 Megapixel Camera with Flash
While the iPhone’s camera is only 2.0MP, this one comes with a 3.0MP camera with flash that also utilises an installed software that allows you to tweak contrast, color balance and many more.

Synchronization with Facebook & Google Mail
This phone allows you to save a person’s details like Facebook, GMail addresses and more into one contact setting. So say one of your contact changes his/her phone number or even picture on Facebook, it will automatically update your address book with the new contact number the next time a connection is made. Not only that, with the integration of GMail, it also allows you to chat via Google Talk if the person is online. So you won’t have to worry about people changing numbers and not informing you already.

Wireless charging
This is probably the coolest feature. You charge the phone wirelessly using their Touchstone charging dock. Magnets in the dock align your phone in the correct position for charging, whether in portrait or landscape mode. No wires involved! Pretty nifty don’t you think?

This video is a full demo of all the Pre’s features and capabilities. If you’re a true geek (like myself) or are into gadgets, take time to view it…it’s about 26 mins long but trust me…it’s worth watching. You’ll be left drooling and probably throw your iPhone away if you already own one.

How much do think it would cost once it’s available here? I’m thinking around the RM2xxx range. So…3 guesses what’s next on my wish list? Hehe
