Today at CES 2009, Palm stole the show and showed that they indeed can again become the leader in the mobile space with the revealing of the Palm Web OS and Palm Pre device. The Pre is designed for those of us who want work and play access on a single device without having to work hard to actually use the device.

The back looks basic like the Palm Treo Pro, but Palm now includes an LED flash to go with the 3.2 megapixel camera.

The keyboard slides down to then appear similar to a Treo unlike most slider keyboards today that slide out from the side.
