Today, Palm announced the Verizon Palm Plus and the Verizon Palm Pixi Plus (say that five times fast) and the salvation of its company. Being chained to Sprint for the entirety of webOS’ short lifespan has kept the user base small and thus, the developer crowd small. Going Verizon red should change that.
The Plus designation adds some refinement to the devices: the Pre loses the button (like the Pixi) and ups on-board storage to 16GB. The Pixi gains WiFi and new colors (woot!) What’s more, each device can be turned into a MiFi of sorts, creating a WiFi hotspot for up to five other devices. Hot.
Our Editor, Robert was on site at the press conference and heard these devices are for Verizon only – begging the question what will AT&T get? The Palm Pixi Plus Plus?
