Those new Palm devices that HP promised would be coming next year? The Palm Pre ’2' just got FCC approval and thus, a sneak peak for all of us. Codenamed the P102, this device won’t be the rumored Palm ‘Mansion’. Instead of the full touchscreen and lack of keyboard like the Mansion, the P102 is similarly shaped to the Palm Pre Plus and even shares the same battery.
The Pre 2 is a slider, naturally, and will have b/g Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 2.1. Not bad. What is particularly nice though is the 1 GHz processor the Pre 2 will be packing under the hood. There are also claims of better battery life with the new processor, which might be why Palm isn’t bothering to increase the battery capacity.
