The new Palm Pre2 handset boasts a gigahertz processor for faster operation, a five-megapixel camera, and combines a 3.1in touch-screen with slide-out keyboard. It offers around 16GB of memory, and almost six hours of battery life.
HP has not given any further information about UK pricing and availability of either the webOS 2.0 update or the Palm Pre 2.
The announcement comes just months after Palm was acquired by HP, in a deal worth $1.2 billion.
“This update advances the innovations we introduced 16 months ago, expanding the features that make webOS great for consumers, enterprises and developers,” said Jon Rubenstein, senior vice president at HP and general manager of Palm’s global business unit.
“We’ve made tremendous strides since the platform launched, and now we’re taking our biggest leap forward with powerful new features that make it easier to get more things done with your webOS device.
