One year after first showing the world its Pre smartphone, Palm on Thursday announced a new generation of the device at the Consumer Electronics Show. It also unveiled an upgrade to its Pixi, a smaller smartphone that relies on the same webOS software as the Pre. These, the Pre Plus and Pixi Plus, will debut on Verizon’s network Jan. 25. They include some new features, such as three-dimensional games and the ability to act as mobile hotspots for up to five other devices. The Pre Plus does not have a physical button on its face, unlike the original, and it’s doubled its memory capacity.
