If you had asked someone what Palm was up to a week ago, they might well have answered, “gasping for air.” But everything changed after the company’s press conference, in which it unveiled its latest phone, the Pre, as well as a new operating system, WebOS.

As Luigi Lugmayr of I4U News explains, Palm is “really back in the game” with the curvy new phone, after several years of coasting on the Treo line’s success and the disappointment of its last OS. He goes on to say that unlike earlier OSes, “webOS leverages several industry-standard technologies, including web technologies such as CSS, XHTML and JavaScript.” It also boasts an impressive set of the latest innovations in cells, such as a slide-out QWERTY keyboard, Wi-Fi, GPS, a touchsreen, and more.

Check out the complete preview, plus the full specs and images, at I4U News.

How it works:

We welcome any and all 'hot' products slated to appear at CES. Our experts screen them. They'll continue to narrow the list until we get to a Top 25 and then a Top 10. We'll also conduct a online vote among the Top 25 to determine a "people's winner." The Top 10 will appear at a CES supersession where a live voting audience will determine which deserves to be the Last Gadget Standing.

When: Saturday, 10:30 a.m., Jan. 9, 2010

Where: Room N255-257, LVCC, North Hall, 2010 International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.
