Pre 2 now on the Palm website

You may have seen yesterday that we said that the Palm Pre 2 is due for release on Monday, although you can only buy it direct from Palm. Well the device is now on their website but is currently showing as being out of stock.

All you Palm fans should check back on Monday morning to see if it will allow you to make a purchase.

Here’s a bit more info on the Palm Pre 2:

The Palm Pre 2 smartphone has been reengineered to do more of what you want to do-faster. Quickly switch between multiple open apps. Simply start typing to begin an email or update your status. Tap a message notification while you’re playing a 3D game. With HP webOS 2.0, accomplishing more is effortless.

Palm Pre 2 features a sleeker design that still gives you the perfect combination of a vivid touchscreen and slide-out keyboard. And now with a completely smooth glass display, Pre 2 is as durable as it is graceful.

Pause a game, tap an email notification, check your calendar, read a restaurant review, send an email reply, then switch back to the game without closing anything.^1,2 Now in webOS 2.0, your open apps are logically grouped together in card stacks, so managing multiple tasks is ridiculously easy.

Keep your contacts and calendars up to date automatically with built-in integration for Facebook^®, Google^T, LinkedIn^®, Yahoo!^®, and Microsoft^® Exchange.⁴ When a contact’s information changes in one place, like an email address on LinkedIn^®, for example, you’ll see it updated on your phone.
