Palm Eos: Palm’s Tiny $99 WebOS Phone Is Super Skinny and AT&T-Bound [Rumor]
It looks like that blurry little blob from before is the Palm Eos, the cheap WebOS successor to the Centro. Engadget's got the pic, and better yet, the specs for little stunner: UPDATED
It's 10.6mm thin, measuring about 2.1 by 4.3-inches, with a 2.63-inch 320x400 res capacitive screen. And the good news for AT&T peeps: It's quad-band GSM/HSDPA, so you guys will have your comeuppance, it seems. Update: Techcrunch adds that its codename is "Pixie" and they're aiming for a $99 pricepoint (obviously after rebate).
And the full purported spec list is in. Here's what Engadget's got:
* 4GB storage
* Price: $349 (pre-rebate)
* Camera: 2 megapixel fixed focus digital camera and flash / video capture
* Connectivity: Bluetooth 2.1 w/ A2DP and EDR, USB 2.0 via micro USB
* Removable 1150 mAh battery (4 hours 3G talk time)
* Messaging: SMS, MMS (picture and video only), integrated IM client
* Contact sync with AT&T Address Book
* MediaNet
* Cellular Video
* Email: POP3, IMAP4, and EAS support
* A-GPS
* Audio: WAV, MP3, AAC, AAC+ ringtones
* Video Playback: MPEG4, H.264, H.263
Interesting that it has a bunch of AT&T services built in, if that's really the spec list—totally different tack than the iPhone.
There are some conflicting reports as to whether Palm's blazing ahead on it or waiting to see how the Pre does, according to Arrington. So while not 100 percent verified, obviously, with multiple independent sources leaking this thing, it's clear there's something along the lines of a cheaper, smaller Centro-like WebOS phone in the works, probably landing this fall. Hopefully for $99. Palm Pre what? [Engadget]
