An exec of the Australian carrier Telstra said that that they’ll get a phone that is better than the Palm Pre; the WebOS phone was announced just a few days ago and is already the one to compare the cool new smart phones with!!! Telstra’s smart phone will be from HTC and will run on Android with custom HTC Linux software. The only thing said about specs is that it will have a screen bigger than on any other HTC phone, which means more than the 3.8-inches found on the HD. The mysterious device is expected to be announced at the MWC 2009 in Barcelona next month, but we hope we will see WebOS models there as well!

Ed Colligan mentioned that both the CDMA and the UMTS Pre may come to Canada … unfortunately, no details on time period were given. US will get it in the first half, through Sprint. UK will get it in the second and Canada – well, we hope it will be available there before the end of the year. The best scenario will be to get both CDMA and GSM version, so more people will be able to use it.

According to CES 2009, Palm Pre and the WebOS are the best invention after the sliced bread … Yeah, we think the same!  After Palm has stolen the attention from all other phone manufacturers and everybody else at CES, it was given the Best In Show award. Good job Palm, your stock are now more than 35% up!

Palm Developer Network’s page reveals information not only what you’ll need to for developing apps for the WebOS, but also on how they will be distributed to the customers. Palm will have its own ‘App Store’, the App Catalog. Let’s hope that unlike Apple’s, this one will allow almost any app to be distributed.
