Palm Throws Down a C&D Warning on the TealOS Skin

Displeased with others copying their work, PalmInfoCenter reports that Palm snuffed the TealOS skin for PalmOS phones, which imitates the Palm Pre‘s newer WebOS interface. https://gizmodo.com/tealos-brings-the-palm-pre-experience-to-palmos-phones-5157892 TealPoint posted an official response on their TealTalk forum, which basically says that they’re shutting down sales and distribution for TealOS on March 30, at the request of Palm.…

Could the Palm Pre’s Weakness Be Its Battery?

Pre Central has confirmed that the Palm Pre’s battery will be identical in size to the Centro’s, meaning that it will likely be limited to a modest 1150mAh-1350mAh capacity. Given the large, ultra-sharp screen, graphically intensive OS and constant requests to its tightly integrated online services, one would expect that the Pre would be something…

Next Palm Pre WebOS Phone Will Be Cheap, Maybe Centro 2

Palm Infocenter has “heard from a seemingly reliable firsthand source” that Palm’s working on the Centro 2, which’ll run the Pre’s slobber-inducing WebOS and hit Sprint this fall. https://gizmodo.com/palm-pre-preview-simply-amazing-5126702 It goes along with what Sascha at PCMag (who would only print reliable tips) has heard: Not only will the WebOS be on lotsa Palm devices…

Palm Treo Pro Sized Up Against Competition

Most of us can size up the functionality of a phone from its spec sheet, but a phone’s practicality, usability and enjoyability falls to a whole other series of factors. Form factor is a biggie. In this clip, you’ll see the Treo Pro literally sized up against the smartphone competition (including the Palm Centro, Motorola…

Treo Pro Gets a Video, Still Runs Windows Mobile

Slashgear’s just found a video of the upcoming Treo Pro, a device that physically looks like the Centro, but runs the touchscreen version of Windows Mobile. The video shows you pretty much what you need to know about how big the phone is in your hand (not too big) but if you want to see…

Leaked Advert Image Could be First Showing of Palm Centro2

At Palm Addicts they’ve somehow got hold of a leaked advert that looks like it’s for Palm’s update to the Centro, the Centro2 smartphone. Take a peek—it’s pretty convincing. There’s of course no way to know whether this is real or a piece of Photoshopped fakery and it’s difficult to glean much info on the…

Sprint’s Centro Gets First Update

One of the most successful smartphones of the last year is the Centro from Palm. Sprint was the first carrier to sell the device, so it’s no surprise that it’s also the first carrier to offer a software update for the phone. The big change is the addition of location services to Google Maps, a…

AT&T Palm Centro Goes Electric Blue, Gets Even Cheaper on Friday

Apparently the Centro is going to be stupid cheap on AT&T starting July 11, and it’ll come in “electric blue.” Palm is being coy about exactly how much cheaper, but we figure it’ll be a decent discount-maybe down to $49, like the BlackBerry Kickstart will be. We’re sure it’ll have people lining up at AT&T…

Palm Selling Centro Unlocked for $299, Gets Google Maps with My Location

Already available on the three biggest US carriers, the only way to make the Centro a bigger hit is to sell it unlocked-and that’s what Palm is doing, for $299. It’s only in white, though.

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…
