This news is not a press conference summary, but after this, i will watch some more press conferences, so don't worry. I don't know which ones i'm going to watch yet though.

"Palm unveiled the Palm Pre handheld during its press conference at CES 2009." It has the new Web OS and is a touchscreen slider phone. It will be available in the first half of 2009. The Palm Pre will have a 3.1 inch screen, slide-out QWERTY keyboard, 3-megapixel camera, LED flash, GPS, Bluetooth, 8GB of space, Wi-Fi and a MicroSD slot. G4TV says that "this is, by far, the best-looking handheld Palm has released in a very long time." I don't know much about the new Web OS, so i will be pulling this information directly from G4tv's article. "Web OS has a feature called Synergy, which synchronizes contacts and calendars from multiple sources." It sounds like good news from Palm and they may be busting the gates open with this one. This phone may cause the Palm to get more fanbase, so that's always good. I hope to see more of Palm and this OS in the future.

Last, but not least, Google has released a new Pre-Beta to their browser, Google Chrome. It has a whole bunch of new features, such as: a new version of WebKit (most likely faster than before), AutoComplete, SafeBrowsing, an update to the V8 Javascript engine, a new network code and it also has a bunch of other features. If you are interested, you can view the link below, to read more information, regarding this Google Chrome 2.0 Pre-Beta.
