It’s hard to believe that Palm is already pushing its second webOS device, the Pixi, out the door. It seems like just a few weeks ago that we were eagerly awaiting the release of the Pre, a phone that was considered to be the last gasp for the badly ailing company, and now it’s poised to add an entirely new handset to the mix. The Pixi — a sleek, tiny device — seems clearly aimed at the only market Palm has recently enjoyed unfettered success with: the Centro demographic. From the looks of things, the Pixi is positioned to step into the role of the “cheap and cute” smartphone once firmly controlled by the company’s previous (and now discontinued) Palm OS offering. Of course, the landscape in 2009 is very different from the landscape of 2007, with fierce competition — both from outside as well as the company’s own sister product. Can the Pixi find a place in the smartphone race, or does it do too little to distance itself from the pack? We’ve got the answers inside, so read on to find out!
