Starting today, Palm Pre is available for the Bell Mobility network. Ready to get yours? You can order online or stop by your local Bell store and other retail partners. If you’re in the Toronto area, you can also get a hands-on experience at a special Pre showcase at the Eaton Centre through September 5, where you’ll also have the chance to enter a daily giveaway.
Check out “
Meet My Palm Pre” on Facebook, where you can see some fun videos of reactions to Palm Pre from a handful of lucky Canadians who got a sneak peek courtesy of our roving correspondent.
And to help kick off Palm Pre’s arrival in Canada, you’ll find several new apps in the Palm Pre beta App Catalog, including a webOS version of Yelp, the popular guide to restaurants, nightspots, and other local businesses. Yelp for Palm Pre makes it simple to find a nearby business, locate it on a map, and add it as a business as a contact. An update for the Twitter app Tweed offers both French and English language versions, and you’ll also find a news apps for The Canadian Press Mobile. (Other new apps include Tetris Mania and Yahtzee.)
