HP has today announced its vision of the next generation of mobile devices - the Palm Pre 2, which will be the first handset to run the new web OS 2.0. The device itself doesn't appear radically different from the original Palm Pre, but the new operating system has been significantly tweaked to improve the user experience.

Among the new features of web OS 2.0 are improved multitasking, an enhanced Universal Search, HP Synergy support, and the inclusion of Flash Player 10 Beta. For a fuller run-down, check out the post I wrote last month when the web OS 2.0 SDK was announced.
