The Palm Pre 2 , styled as palm prē 2, is a multimedia smartphone designed and marketed by Palm, Inc., and Hewlett-Packard with a multi-touch screen and a sliding keyboard. The smartphone is the third to use Palm's Linux based mobile operating system, webOS (releasing with version 2.0). The Pre 2 functions as a camera phone, a portable media player, and has location and navigation capabilities. The Pre also serves as a personal information manager, has a number of communication and collaboration applications, and has Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity built-in. The Palm Pre 2 was announced on October 19, 2010, with an initial launch date of October 22, 2010, on French carrier SFR. It was also announced that the Pre 2 would be coming to United States carrier Verizon Wireless, Rogers Wireless in Canada, and also as an unlocked UMTS developer phone. Additions include a flat Gorilla-glass screen (instead of the curved plastic of its predecessors), a faster processor, an upgraded camera, and the plastic door to cover the microUSB port (called flimsy by some) has been removed. Otherwise, the Pre 2 has the same size and design as its predecessors. The Pre 2 was the last mobile phone to be branded with the Palm name. The Pre 3, Veer and Touchpad were branded as HP devices. ==History== On August 11, 2010, webOS developer Geoff Gauchet discovered that an unknown device with the code name "Roadrunner" was accessing his Foursquare app using a new version of webOS, version 2.0.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=webOS 2.0-running Roadrunner device pops up in app logs () )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Here's 2 screenshots )〕 On October 12, 2010, the Pre 2 was leaked on France's SFR website.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=SFR outs the Palm Pre 2 )〕 Several specifications were revealed, including processor speed and memory.
