Amazon is on a holiday sales roll this week. Amazon.com is now offering the Palm Pixi for $24.99 with a Sprint service plan. The webOS -based phone is Palm’s slimmest smartphone and has an 8 GB internal memory, 2-megapixel camera/camcorder, Bluetooth stereo music, and about 5 hours of talk time and up to 350 hours (14.5 days) of standby time. You also get free 2-day shipping when you purchase this item plus a service plan from Amazon, making this probably the best Palm Pixi deal out there. Mobile experts suggest the Pixi will soon be a freebie when purchasing a service plan from Sprint– this new Amazon post is just one step closer to that conclusion.

Sprint is also offering limited-time free activation credit of $36 with the purchase of a new Sprint device and for each qualifying line of service activated on a new two-year individual or family plan attained from Amazon.com. This offer is only available through November 23, 2009 at 11:59 p.m. PDT.

Snapchat Planets being shown on the Snapchat app on iPhone.

Snapchat+ includes several exclusive features, but few have generated as much curiosity as Snapchat Planets. Part of the app's Friend Solar System, it transforms your Best Friends list into a planetary ranking, assigning each of your top eight friends a planet based on how often you interact.

From Mercury, which represents your closest friend, to Neptune, which represents your eighth closest, the system offers a quick visual snapshot of your interactions. But what do the different planets actually mean, and how does Snapchat decide who gets which one?
