Palm-Pixi2

This picture of an unannounced Palm Pixi model has been found among Sprint’s marketing materials somewhere the original Pixi should be, only sporting a brand new front-facing camera. There’s nothing to run on specs-wise, but it will need to be running something newer than webOS 2.0, since that software doesn’t have any support for front-facing cameras.

Just this morning we were hearing about the Broadway, a rumoured codename for a successor to the Pixi. The Palm Pre 2 has been officially refreshed, but still not released on Verizon. One would expect that Palm’s sole other form factor, the cheaper, smaller Pixi, would also be privileged to a spec upgrade, and this very well may be it.

CES is coming up soon, and it wouldn’t be entirely bizarre to see HP Palm bust this one out; if they announce a tablet at the same time, then webOS fans will have a great start to 2011. On the other hand, that “camera” could just be a secondary proximity sensor.

    I can now say that this website sucks. Do your homework prior to just posting crap. This is the original pixi, and those are Proxi Sensors. Nice try to jump on the wagon.
