       Fresh off the news that it's acquired the Palm brand, Alcatel
       has a new Pixi for us. It's not actually the first Pixi from the
       budget phone maker, but it is pretty unique in its own right:
       the phone is compatible with three operating systems, being able
       to run Windows Phone, Android, or Firefox OS. The OS-agnostic
       Pixi 3 comes in four variants, with a 3.5-inch display 3G model,
       and three larger versions adding LTE and coming in at 4, 4.5,
       and 5 inches in size.
       The company says the smartphones let owners use the same
       operating systems at work, at home, and on the move. The
       "affordable" phones might not rival top tier smartphones in
       terms of features and power, and the smallest 3.5-inch phone can
       only use 3G connections, but Alcatel says its users "don't want
       complicated systems — they want something familiar from their
       work environment in the office.
       THE THREE LARGER PIXIS HAVE LTE AND A CHOICE OF OPERATING
       SYSTEMS
       By opening the phones up to three different systems, it might be
       tricky for Alcatel to ensure a good user experience for every
       Pixi 3 owner, but the company at least has experience with all
       three operating systems. Alcatel's previous Pixi phone uses
       Google's OS, its Fire phone from last year uses Mozilla's, and
       the company's POP 2 is a Windows Phone with a 64-bit processor.
       We'll know more about how they work when Alcatel shows the new
       phones off on the CES 2015 floor.
       The Palm trademark was sold in November to a shell company run
       by Nicolas Zibell, the Alcatel One Touch executive in charge of
       the American market — a move that indicates that the company may
       be trying to increase its presence in Western markets. Palm's
       return was recently teased by a new website, but for now at
       least, Alcatel's upcoming Pixi 3s don't bear the venerable brand
       name
