Palm and Sprint launch the much anticipated and oddly named Palm Pre next week Saturday (and an odd day to launch a phone) on June 6.

Palm Unveils More webOS Details: Palm Media Sync, Twitter Integration, App Catalog

1. Palm Media Sync: Synchronize with Apple iTunes to transfer music, photos and videos. This feature will work with both Windows PCs and Macs.

2. Twitter in Universal Search: webOS will search Twitter as well as internal databases like contacts and external services like Google and Wikipedia.

3. App Catalog: I guess this wasn't exactly a new announcement and definitely expected. But, an app store is a must these days. The only major platform that doesn't have one at the moment is Windows Mobile.
