Palm Mobile Device
The Palm Mobile Device is the newest cellular capable device on the market. With ALL of the perks of using a standard cellphone (apps, face recognition, calling, etc) but compact and perfect for that person that wants technology at their fingertips, but doesn’t want to be all consumed by it.
Palm is approximately the size of a credit card, therefore, it fits perfectly in your wallet, favorite workout legging pockets, in your Palm. In my opinion, the best feature is the new “Life Mode” setting. You can click “Life Mode” and the device will be silenced of all notifications, calls and updates until you turn it off. Who doesn’t need a “life mode” button every now and then?!?! This product is now carried at Verizon stores in the United States for $349. Add the option to opt out or in on technology when you want to with the Palm Mobile Device.
