First Spyshots of the Palm Treo 800w

Remember that rumored mockup of the Palm Skywriter we showed you last week? Yeah, this spyshot (courtesy of aliased citizen Shadowmite) of the finished Treo 800w shows the prototype was pretty spot on with the button layout of this WinMo phone. While unconfirmed, the 800w is expected to run WinMo 6.1 on a 400 MHz processor with 128 MB of RAM and have 256 MB of flash memory. It's also rumored to introduce a few firsts for the Palm brand — namely EVDO Rev.A, GPS, and Wi-Fi. More »

Latest by golferal: What I want to see/ know is how thick it is. After using a Moto Q for awhile, I just can't see going back to a device that's as thick as the current Treos. Slim it down to 1/2" or less more »

Palm Zeppelin and Skywriter Phones Coming in 2008?

Smartphone blog TamsPPC say they received an email from Palm regarding developer submissions for two devices codenamed Zeppelin and Skywriter.They suggest the Skywriter could be a Palm 500-style device with WinMo 6.1, and they posted possible mockup of what appears to be a dev unit. There were no facts provided about the Zeppelin, but TamsPPC included a copy of the email they received and think the phones will hit the market in Q3 2008. Hmmmm... [TamsPPC]

Palm Centro Headed to Verizon

With Sprint and AT&T already down, the Palm Centro continues to cut a swath through the major wireless carriers. Based on the images above, its latest stop appears to be on Verizon. Word is that the first installment will feature this lovely blue color with other versions following later on down the line. [Engadget Mobile via BGR]

Palm Didn't Lose $31.5 Million—It Lost $57 Million

Remember how Palm said it bled out $31.5 million this quarter? It's more like $57 million. That, plus no new Treos 'til late summer? Jesus Christ, Palm. [Yahoo! via IntoMobile]

Happy Palm Centro Day

I've just decided to mark today Palm Centro Day for three reasons:
• Fulfilling Brian Lam's prediction, Palm just announced that it only took six months to sell 1 million of the suckers, in 10 countries no less. (Helps when there's a GSM version, doesn't it?)
• AT&T released the obsidian (that is, black) version to go along with its white one. Ruby Red and Pinky Pink are still Sprint only.
• In some Best Buy locations, the normally $100 AT&T Centros have been spotted selling for $40 to new customers. Hopefully these deals will keep cropping up.
Here's what I want to know from you long-term Centro users: does the Centro deserve the honor, bound to sell 1 million more before year end? Or was it just a flash in the old smartphone pan? [Palm Centro]

Palm Adding Voice Commands to Treos For Messaging and Browsing

Thanks to an agreement with Nuance Communications, Palm will be delivering voice command capabilities to Palm OS supported smartphones like the Centro and the Treo. More specifically, Palm will be utilizing Nuance's VSuite apps to handle functions like name dialing, digit dialing, message addressing for text, picture, and video messages as well as application launching.

No New Palm Treo Handsets Until Late Summer

Electronista reminds me of a bit I missed from last week's Palm earnings call. Palm CEO Ed Colligan said that there wouldn't be any new Treos til late Summer. I'm not sure if that means announce or release, but I'll take that as a sign that Palm, who hasn't done anything new in hardware since the Centro, and anything really new in software since forever, is cooking up something greater than a mere revision.

Palm Bleeds $31.5 Million

Beleaguered smartphone maker Palm lost $31.5 million this quarter, despite the Centro's success—no surprise, given that their living-in-the-past handsets are losing marketshare, not to mention the whole deader-than-dead Foleo. [NYT]

Palm Emulator for iPhone and Touch Looks Good, Bad

StyleTap's proof-of-concept Palm OS emulator for iPhone and iPod touch makes us scratch our heads asking ourselves "why?" but we are sure it would make all Palm users very happy. All the five of them, including Rob from accounts. It's quite fast, as you will see in the video: 423% faster than a Palm IIIc. Unfortunately, it's not available yet but it may be released after the official iPhone SDK and distribution channel are revealed. Someday. [The Mobile Gadgeteer]

Buy Palm's TX, Get Palm Z22 Free, Finally

If you have been debating whether to purchase a Palm TX for the last three years, your amazingly long uncertainty period has paid off; you now get a free Palm Z22 with every Palm TX purchased. You may very well say that you care more about Angelina's adoption plans, and if you did, we'd be inclined to agree with you. Be that as it may, the Z22 usually retails for $99, and that is a great deal nonetheless. If you belong to that rare breed of failed stockbrokers that actually have friends; what the hell are you waiting for? [Palm via Palm Infocenter]

AT&T Palm Centro Official

The Palm Centro is losing its Sprint-only roots and going to AT&T for $99 after rebate with a two-year contract. That's the Glacier White color combo, and in a month there'll be an Obsidian Black version. It's essentially the same phone that Sprint offers, but this is a quad band GSM version with EDGE (no 3G). I don't like the ads, which try to portray the OS as somehow radically changed from business to social phone, but it's still a good deal for $99. [ATT, Thanks Dave for the tip on the embargo lift]

Palm Gets Dicky Towards RIM With Full Page Newspaper Ads

Remember the BlackBerry outage? You know, the one that happened on Monday? Palm sure didn't, and they're betting that you didn't either, which is why they've taken out advertisements in major newspapers across the country to simultaneously kick RIM in the nads and pump up their own service. As you can see above, they're emphasizing "uptime" and "no nationwide blackouts." If you're going to be this transparent, why not just come out and say "Hey BlackBerry customers, we suck less hard than your current provider!" Classy, Palm. Real classy. [Palm via Cool Smart Phone]

AT&T Palm Centro Photos Surface

The rumor of the Palm Centro coming to AT&T has been solidified during the past couple of weeks and these unbox photos of the AT&T-branded Centro all but make this bit of news rock solid. And it may be my love of Palm phones and all things bright green talking, but I really like the keyboard. Word is the Centro will launch on the February 19 with a price somewhere between $99-$149.

iFolio Converts iPhone into Ultra-Light Laptop, So Light It Doesn't Exist

With visions of the MacBook Air hovering tantalizingly before us, one designer took a page from the now-dead Palm Foleo and has docked the iPhone into a really barebones 12" chassis—essentially nothing more than a screen, keyboard and USB ports. Willy Yonkers, its creator, thinks that if you kept it simple it could sell for as little as $150. Too bad it's a pipe dream, even if it looks a bit fugly. [Willy Yonkers via Yanko Design]
