Qualcomm revealed the specs of Palm’s upcoming Pixi. Looks like this ‘mini Pre’ is quite the performer, packing in two ARM cores on a single chip, a dedicated 600MHz applications processor, a 400MHz modem processor, a 200MHz OpenGL 2.0 capable GPU, and a 320MHz application DSP for multimedia (supporting full 30 fps WVGA video encoding/decoding). Looks like they have all bases covered.

Palm announced their second webOS phone, the Pixi. With a name like that, one would expect a thinner, simpler phone and that’s exactly what you get. It’s a step down from the Pre in terms of specs but, hopefully, one can assume it’ll be cheaper as well. Now on to the details:

• 2 megapixel fix-focused camera with LED flash
• 2.63-inch multi-touch screen with a vibrant 18-bit color 320×400 resolution TFT display
• Gesture area
• Exposed QWERTY keyboard
• Integrated GPS
• Bluetooth 2.1 with stereo support
• No Wi-Fi
• Accelerometer & proximity sensor
• EVDO Rev. A data speeds
• 8GB internal storage
• 3.5mm headphone jack
• Rubberized back cover
• “Artist Series” covers for personalization

The Palm Pixi should be available by the holidays through Sprint.
