Sprint has thrown a Palm Pre page up and it has a long list of the wonderphone’s specs. Some are rather banal, some are weasel-speak and some are genuinely neat-o touches that put even the iPhone to shame.
We’ll skip the dull stuff — you know it already (EVDO, QWERTY slider, multi-touch) and quickly get to the juice. The Pre will have proper Bluetooth. Not only can it stream to stereo headphones, it can be used to tether the Pre as a modem, something the (unjailbroken) iPhone won’t even do with a wire. You can also use a USB cable should you prefer.
And the weasel-words?
3 Megapixel camera with LED flash and extended depth of field.
What does this mean? It means an autofocus-free, fixed lens camera. In other words, just as bad as the iPhone, only with 50% more pixels.
