The Palm Pre
Here’s something I never thought I’d be saying: I’m actually excited for a phone made by Palm. Palm hosted a press conference at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas on Thursday to announce a new mobile phone, which it named the Palm Pre.

I was planning on writing a somewhat negative post about Verizon Wireless last week, but luckily for them, I just didn’t have enough time.
