While Mac users were paying attention to Macworld Expo, the rest of the tech world was drawn to the Consumer Electronics Show. Some major announcements were made at CES, including Palm’s introduction of the Pre mobile phone.
Macworld‘s sister publication, PC World, took a look at the Pre smart phone. PC World also looks at a couple of other interesting mobile phones, including a Dick Tracy-esque wristphone from LG, and Motorola’s entry into the touchscreen smart phone arena.
