Yesterday, at The Wall Street Journal's D: All Things Digital conference, Palm, Inc. (Nasdaq: PALM) introduced the latest features of Palm's webOS platform, including Palm media sync, the integration of Twitter in universal search, and a beta version of its App Catalog. Jon Rubinstein, Palm executive chairman and once an Apple (Nasdaq: AAPL), and Roger McNamee, Palm director and co-founder of Elevation Partners, debuted the new webOS features, which will be available June 6 on Sprint (NYSE: S).
Below are a few of the new features that McNamee and Rubinstein unveiled at the conference.
The Palm Pre will allow users to seamlessly synchronize with iTunes, giving a simple and easy way to transfer DRM-free music, photos and videos to the Palm Pre. That's right the Palm Pre will sync with Apple's iTunes. Woohoo!
Pre also acts as a mass storage drive, letting you store any type of media on the device. Pre works directly with the computer's default desktop photo software to seamlessly import photos captured with Pre's built-in 3-megapixel camera.
Universal search is about finding what you want quickly, whether it's an on-device contact to call, a place you're trying to get to, or a Wikipedia article for encyclopedic information. Just start typing and Pre will figure out if you're looking for a contact, an application, or even let you search the web via Google, Google Maps, Wikipedia and now Twitter.
Conference attendees got to see a beta version of the App Catalog, which will be available on Pre at launch. The beta version will feature applications from developers such as AP News, Citysearch, Fandango, Pandora and uLocate.
