Palm has officially announced its second webOS device called the Pixi. Like the Pre, this will be launched on US operator Sprint's network, which means it's a CDMA device and won't work in Asia and Europe.

Snake skin phone, anyone?

This product has made its rounds on the rumor mill with the name Palm Eos. The leaked specifications appear to be spot-on, with the handset sporting a QWERTY keypad under a 2.63-inch 320 x 400 touchscreen. According to Palm's Webpage, the Pixi doesn't come with Wi-Fi, though it has Bluetooth and GPS. The company also announced back covers for this new smartphone designed by artists for those who like to personalize their Pixi.

As with the Pre, we won't know if there will be a GSM version of this product until Palm decides to announce it for Europe or a GSM operator in the US. Even then, nothing has been said about the GSM Pre for Asia, so those of us living in this region will just have to wait and see. Our advice: Don't get your hopes up too high.
