#pal internet

Last April, Philippine Airlines (PAL) announced that they will start offering in-flight WiFi internet and call/test roaming in some of their regional routes by mid-year. As for the WiFi internet, charges are on time-based billing: $5 for 30 minutes $10 for 1 hour $20 for 3 hours $40 for entire duration of the flight If you have multiple devices, you can log in on the web-based system and connect them as well without additional charges. In a last-ditch effort to regain its footing in the smartphone market, Palm unveiled a new mobile platform and device -- the Palm Pre. Playing catchup with the iPhone 3G and the Blackberry Storm, the Palm Pre combines a wide touchscreen and qwerty keyboard in a multi-tasking environment and  new Palm webOS™ platform. Palm Pre 3G EVDO 3.1" touch screen (320x480 pixels) display Slide-out QWERTY keyboard GPS built-in Ambient light sensor, accelerometer, and proximity sensor Wi-Fi 802.11b/g 8GB internal storage Bluetooth The design reminds me of some HTC Touch phones and is a little thick at 17mm (same as SE Xperia X1). Palm did not say what the retail price will be once it is released. Palm has not commented if a GSM version will be made for international release later.
