Pre is Palm's first phone to feature its new webOS platform.

Quoting investor.palm.com:

webOS recognizes that you want your people, calendars and information to move with you, wherever you are, wirelessly, as opposed to being bound to a personal computer. Palm webOS is the first mobile platform to automatically bring your information from the many places it resides - on your phone, at your work or on the web - into one simple, integrated view.

* High-speed connectivity (EVDO Rev. A or UMTS HSDPA)
