The HTC EVO 4G will first be made available in the US via Sprint.

SHOWCASE: HTC unveiled the world’s first 3G/4G smartphone yesterday called the HTC EVO 4G and it will be first made available on US telecom operator Sprint’s network.

Featuring Google Android 2.1 operating system, a 4.3-inch wide touchscreen pinch-and-zoom display, 8.0-megapixel camera, HDMI output and HTC Sense, the HTC EVO 4G has set tongues wagging since the announcement.

With the Sprint 4G network, expect wireless throughput speeds to be 10 times that of current 3G networks.

It is powered by a 1GHz Qualcomm processor, features a 1.3-megapixel front-facing vid conference camera, but more importantly, comes with its popular Mobile HotSpot feature that allows up to 8 Wi-Fi-enabled devices to wirelessly tether to the EVO and share the 4G experience.

The Palm Pre lets you flick between 'cards' - similar to shifting across different Web browser tabs.

The Pre also comes with universal search, where webOS is able to narrow your search and offer results from both your device and the web.

SHOWCASE: Sprint has finally announced the pricing and nationwide availability of the highly anticipated and exclusive Palm Pre phone. Available from June 6 in US-based Sprint stores (as well as Sprint.com), the Palm Pre phone will cost US$199.99 on a two-year contract and after a US$100 mail-in rebate.

The Palm Touchstone charging dock will also be available at launch, as it comes bundled with the Touchstone Charging Kit (which also includes a back cover for the Pre), at a cost US$69.99. Separately, the charging dock costs US$49.00 while the back cover costs US$19.99.

The Palm Pre itself is based on the new Palm webOS mobile platform, with a focus on centralizing all of your important information from your phone, work or on the web, into one logical view. According to Sprint, the Palm Pre will consolidate all your professional, social and personal data and make it easily relatable and accessible on the device.

Called ‘Palm Synergy’, this functionality gives the Pre the ability to automatically pull friends’ contact details, messaging addresses and personal calendars from different applications on the Web and the phone without distracting what you were originally doing.
