Palm just introduced their next-gen smartphone, the Palm Pre, and next-gen operating system, Palm webOS. Gadgetell's got the latest Pre and webOS information and news for you right here.
How much trouble is Motorola in? It is expected that the company will only introduce a dozen new cell phones in 2009. This is a fraction of the amount that has been standard for the company over the years.
