Talkin’ Palm – Week ending 23 Jan 10

It’s a pretty cool phone…

Says Jon Fortt, Fortune’ Brainstorm Tech when describing the new Palm Pixi Plus arriving at Verizon on Monday.  He remarked, "Even without the WiFi trick, there is plenty to like about the Pixi Plus." Other reviewers were not so kind. He did make a point to say this: 

"Until now, Palm has had a first-rate mobile operating system hidden behind small-screen phones on Sprint’s network. The Pixi Plus and Pre Plus address the network issue. Now it’s time to really upgrade the hardware."

The bulk of the happenings this week were related to the "Plus" webOS devices which will be available on Monday from Verizon. There was also a lot of talk about the new pricing plans announced by Verizon and AT&T. 

Let’s talk Palm by continuing the rundown of reviews.
