Palm Pre Mobile Phone HandsetThe much discussed Palm Pre is finally coming to the UK. This phone has been developed as a serious contender to the Apple iPhone, and has has a large multi-touch screen, a slide out keyboard, and a range of business and leisure applications.

It offers the new Palm Synergy application, that can take information from multiple sources, such as GMail, Facebook or Outlook, and merge them into a single view. It also is able to display push email from a Microsoft Exchange server, making it a great business mobile.

Early UK previews point out that many of the top applications are available in the US only, so we may need to wait and see if there are any updates available in the coming months.
