Touchstone charger for Palm Pre

- The

Touchstone charger

is not required to charge your Palm Pre. It is an optional accessory.

- The Touchstone charger requires a direct connection via the travel charger plug and in our tests, did not work with laptop power.

- The Touchstone charger comes with a rubberized backing for the Palm Pre. This back is required for Touchstone charging.

- Place your Palm Pre on the touchstone. A magnet will line up the Pre with the Touchstone and begin charging.

- Placing your Pre on the Touchstone charger will automatically switch the Pre into speakerphone mode if you're on a call.

- The Touchstone can be used in landscape mode. This is useful for watching video.
