So when I mentioned that we had some older news that needed to be revisited, this is basically what I was talking about. Some of the first information about the PalmOne Tungsten T5 and E2 PDAs has come to light, and while there’s lots of interesting tidbits (rumor, of course) like the T5’s lack of a slider like the old one, I think the most notable bit of news is that both of these will finally be running PalmOne’s BEOS-influenced OS6. There is also a planned (rumored) OS6 update for the Tungsten C and T3 after the new T5 is released in April of next year. Looks like good stuff.
It is a little sad, in a way, to see Palm’s form factor sort of giving up the ghost and moving to a PocketPC-styled slate, but really, it makes total sense. The silk-screened Graffiti area was really played out, and if OS6 does everything it promises to do, we’ll want every bit of screen real estate we can get.
