No, sorry, it definitely isn’t — but we can say with relative confidence that the upcoming Pixi will be shipping with a newer, slightly more feature-rich version of webOS than its Pre brethren around the world; if nothing else, Synergy supports Yahoo on the new model, as PreCentral observes
So we found out today that the Pixi’s official launch date is going to be November 15th at the fairly low price of $99.99. Well this news can only mean one thing. WebOS 1.3 is around the corner! We saw in all the press releases that the Palm Pixi already has included with it a Facebook app which was developed by Palm themselves and Yahoo integration into Synergy allowing for you to add your Yahoo friends to chat with and contacts into your contacts app
Finally! The wait is over for those of you waiting on a release date and price for the Palm Pixi. Since it was officially announced back on the second week of September , many of you have been waiting for it.

The Palm Pre return rate wrangling continues unabated , with RBC analyst Mike Abramsky the latest to step into the fray. After initial return estimates of around 40-percent returns sent Palm’s stock price into a tumble, followed by reassurance that, in fact, such figures were possibly based on bad data , Abramsky’s team now claim that returns are more likely between 2 and 3-percent.
