Palm Pixie Release

Palm, as of midnight, took the wraps off of its new Candybar (not slider) smartphone for Sprint now officially dubbed the Pixie. Yes, September 9th is a great date to release a product but they might not get all of the PR they are after. Again, Sprint may not match the iPhone but they certainly are in the "Best of the Rest" category. Specs below.
