On the Palm Phone from Iafrica:
The new smartphone from Palm and a pocket notebook computer from Sony won coveted awards as top products in their categories at the annual Consumer Electronics Show (CES) on Saturday.

The Palm Pre was recognised not only as the best product in the cellphone and smartphone category, but was also named “Best in Show” and received the most votes in a “people’s choice” internet poll.

The Palm Pre has to be the most advanced Smart PhonE(not mobile iTOY) on the market today, If the majority of people out there could enhance the power of WebOS Synergy rather than iCOOL status we could all live in a happier digital enviroment.
Pity that the South African Agent ITE for Palm is so dismal and unpassionate about their own products……
