Palm Pre CES Press Event

Mark your calendar, Sprint will launch Palm Pre on June 6th.

It will cost you back some $199.99 with rebate and one has to sign-up for a two-year contract with the Sprint network.

The much anticipated personal data devices was first unveiled back at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas in January 2009.

Since then it has generated interest, if you’re a fan of Palm operating system that is, which is geared towards being Internet-friendly; such as using emails, social networks.

The good thing about Palm Pre you can run other several different applications running at the same time.

Palm Pre touch screen I find is quite intuitive and very much a rival to the other three other popular handsets of Apple’s iPhone, Android handsets and RIM’s Blackberry.
