Yesterday in Vegas, Palm CEO Jon Rubenstein debuted the new Pre Plus and Pixi Plus, coming to Verizon, at Palm's CES keynote. Earlier this week, AT&T announced it would be getting two webOS devices (still no confirmation on which devices). Sprint no longer being the sole Palm webOS purveyor, Verizon will make both phones available on January 25th. No word on pricing, but head after the break ...

What's AT&T to do, now that it has a solid foothold in the cell phone service market? According to Reuters, the wireless provider will make deals to bring its service to 20 new devices this year -- expanding both its reach and our freedom to roam while staying connected.

Motorola, riding high on the success of the Droid, yesterday officially unveiled the Backflip, an Android-based phone. Nothing too exciting on the software front, as the Backflip is currently running the Blur skin (also seen on the Cliq) on Android 1.5.

It shook free the shackles of 3.6Mbps and, in one fell swoop, threw the switch on the 7.2Mbps network upgrade it said wouldn't come till 2012. Such an upgrade should offer a huge speed improvement for users. ...

Okay, technically Google's Nexus One is not part of the CES product barrage. The latest Android handset is to be officially unveiled tomorrow at a press event in Google's hometown of Mountain View, California.
