Today handset maker Palm unveiled a brand spankin' new mobile OS, Palm WebOS, along with an associated device, the Pre, at a CES 2009 press event in Las Vegas. And the Mobile WorkHorse was there.

Though I'm not quite ready to share my first impressions of the OS and smartphone—those are coming later tonight or early tomorrow—I wanted to pass along a few images I shot at the show of the device unveiling.
