It may be five days until US consumers are able to get their mitts on the pint-sized Palm Pixi, a mini-me version of the well reviewed Palm Pre smartphone, but a video of the phone in action has already leaked onto YouTube.
Running the innovative webOS and coming with a Treo-style keyboard, the Pixi runs a lower spec processor (Qualcomm’s high-performance MSM7627) but still seems a fairly nippy performer on the video.
The Pixi packs in a peck of pickled Pre features, with  the same proximity, accelerometer and light sensors , albeit with a lightly smaller 320×400 resolution TFT display.
The camera is only a 2MP number (with flash), but all the webOS goodness is onboard, packed into a pleasingly small body measuring a decidedly bijou 55mm (W) x 111mm (L) x 10.85mm (D) [2.17 in. (W) x 4.37 in. (L) x 0.43 in. (D).
We’ve no idea when the Pixi will become available in the UK, but we’re rather taken with the wee thing: in fact, if they bolted on Wi-Fi, we’d probably prefer it over our Pre (which we are loving, by the way – expect a full review soon).
