At CES we sat down with Pam Deziel, Palm’s VP of Software Product Management, in the swanky Palm Pre lounge to chat about their big announcement. I tried not to gush too much, but we hit topics such as points of inspiration, working with partners like Google and Sprint, as well as what the announcement means for Palm as a whole. Overall, Pam emphasized their heritage driving the Pre’s design, but I think it’s safe to say they’re doing plenty that’s new. It’s a little under five minutes, so feel free to take a listen.
