The Palm Pixi runs on the Palm webOS™ platform. The CPU Qualcomm MSM7627 600 MHz processor and dedicated graphics accelerator makes the Pixi much different than others. The QWERTY keyboard on the Pixi is tiny and tightly spaced, but it’s definitely very usable!

However the Pixi lacks Wi-Fi connectivity, which is a vital aspect. It has full support for Microsoft Exchange, and POP3/IMAP4 email. Like its older brother, the Palm Pre, the accelerometer and GPS are still there. It has a 2.63 inch display with 320×400 resolution, a 2 megapixel camera, a 3.5 mm audio jack and Bluetooth.
