By now I am sure you have all seen what the Palm Pre has to offer. I am going to do a brief overview of the hardware so that if you haven't seen it yet you are not left out. For starters it has a beautiful 3.1 inch HVGA touchscreen. This dominates the front of the phone. There is only one button other then the touchscreen and that is the track ball. On either side of the track ball is the gesture area where you can flip back a page or flip up the app launcher. This gesture area allows you to open new apps while on any screen and scroll with out getting in the way of what you are looking at. It also has the standard side buttons (volume rocker, camera, power, silence ringer button, and a 3.5mm headphone jack). Next of course is the slide down full qwerty protrait keyboard for when you need to bang out some emails or update your facebook. Around back is a 3 megapixle camera with flash and a speaker for music or conversations. It also has an accelerameter, light sensor and proximity meter so the screen locks when it is by your ear so you don't accidently hang up. Overall a beautiful piece of hardware that will be offered in black by Sprint the first half of the year. Stay tuned for the software post and if I missed anything in the hardware or you want to comment on something leave it below.
