engadget has just revealed the Palm Eos which may or may not be real (see today’s earlier article). Looking at past rumours this one feels more real than the others and the specifications match up, but it’s the looks that caught my eye. It makes the Pre look rather dull…
“Liked that blurry photo of a new Palm webOS phone we saw earlier? Well how about some specs, a name, and a better look at this thing? Enter the device above, apparently dubbed the Palm Eos (codenamed Castle… where have we seen that before?), which it seems will be the company’s proper follow-up to the Centro — a quadband GSM / HSDPA phone notably rocking the 850 / 1900 AT&T and Rogers-friendly frequencies. The phone will supposedly be an astounding 10.6mm thin, will measure just 55mm x 111mm (about 2.1 by 4.3-inches), weigh 100 grams, and will tout a 2.63-inch, 320 x 400 capacitive display. Of course, the info we’ve got right now can’t be verified, and since there are a couple of minor question marks here (like barely rounded corners in the OS), you should take it all with a grain of salt… as usual. Needless to say, we’re working on getting more details (and some confirmation), so stay tuned!”
Oh, could call this a Palmberry!
If the rumors on this firm up, Palm may just keep me a continuous customer after all. The only problem now is how well it’ll sync with my Macs (both work and home!). MobileMe is only $100 a year and my company is ready to pay for it. Will I have to pay more for some wireless syncing (hosted Exchange) on webOS?
May skip the Pre and wait for this baby
Mmmm…
Let’s not be too hasty – we haven’t even got our hands on the Pre yet. This looks like a pretty nice “concept” but little else yet.
Be nice to see something like this from Palm though for those who don’t like “sliders”, assuming we ever get the Pre.
