In one of the more anticipated chats at D: All Things Digital, Palm Executive Chairman Jon Rubinstein showed off the Palm Pre and talked about several features for the first time.
Rubinstein showed how the device can search Amazon's MP3 store and download songs directly to the device, a feature I hinted was coming back at the product's launch at CES.
He also showed a "media sync" feature that lets you grab non-protected media files directly from iTunes without any special software. In addition, the universal search feature will not only search Google and Wikipedia, but also Twitter.
Palm also demoed an App Catalog that the company says will launch with the product in beta form. About a dozen programs will be there at launch, Palm said. Among the applications shown on the device were Fandango and the New York Times.
