Live demo of the Palm Pre at CES 2009 during the official Palm press event.

The Pre includes several features we iPhone owners have been begging for such as copy-and-paste, MMS messaging, and the ability to allow applications to run in the background. The Pre also offers the option of Palm’s Touchstone wireless charging station. The Touchstone technology, which requires an additional back cover for the Pre itself, charges the Pre’s internal battery via magnetic induction when the device is laid on the charging station.
