A few months back, Palm Pre was released by Palm with a brand new operating system in a bid to help Palm ameliorate its losses. Although the sales of Palm Pre have been healthy, but certainly they need to take much more steps to reach substantial results. As a lighter and cheaper version of Palm Pre, Palm Pixi is set to be launched on October 20. Palm Pixi is targeted for a broader range of users, primarily attracting young users and female users due to the lighter and slimmer dimensions of Palm Pixi. The new smartphone series by Palm is also much more attractive in design than the earlier models, which could also play a role in attracting smartphone users, which are more likely to get attracted to the BlackBerry Storm 2, expected to be released around the same time in October.
The expected lower price can really play a pivotal role in the success of Palm Pixi against all odds. Palm is emphasizing on the web based functions of the phone while marketing it, realizing that social networking and the entertainment and informative activities related to it are really popular among all kinds of mobile phone and smartphone users, particularly the youth, which is why Palm Pixi is hoping to attract young people particularly. The Palm Synergy feature is one of the most convenient features of the operating system, which can bring together different online email, social networking and instant messaging accounts on a single platform in the phone.
With its slim dimensions, attractive design, light weight, attractive Palm webOS features and hopefully a low price, Palm Pixi can prove to be a very strong option for users looking for a quality smartphone. However, many users will not find the absence of the Wi-Fi connectivity in the smartphone comfortable, and may end up looking for other phones, but if that does not top your priority list, maybe you could end up considering Palm Pixi seriously yourself.
