Comments on: Details Emerge on Possible Pre Followup

Following up on our story from yesterday, a number of sharp-eyed WebOS fans have been analyzing the FCC filings on the upcoming Palm P102UEU device. After much analysis, the general consensus is that a device very reminiscent of the existing Pre Plus is imminent in non-AT&T (that is, not USA GSM bands) GSM form. Presumably, a similar "NA" version for North America will also be offered at some point in time.

As I mentioned in my retail report last month, Palm-branded Pre and Pixi accessories are now almost entirely absent from both brick & mortar and carrier retail shelve. This would suggest that a widespread packaging refresh (possibly HP/Palm co-branded) is in the works if Palm's latest device will be compatible with the many existing Pre peripherals.

Darn it!

I am always interested in a new Palm release. Unfortunately I'm locked into an EVO for 2 years.

Day late and a dollar short. Nobody wants a Palm.

Who is Palm? They make those cheap little toy-looking Centro thingies that you can get for free. That pretty much sums up what they are today. Nova is going to fizzle just because Palm is launching it. Nobody will pay top dollar for a new OS from Palm. Just as nobody will buy a $80K luxury car from Kia (no disrespect to Kia intended.) If Nova is decent and Apple launched it sales would go to the moon. Palm is merely a name to be put onto a generic device-like Magnavox, Curtis Mathis, and Craig. Their Palm-branded junk will be sold cheaply as doorbusters at Wal-Mart and Best-Buy to get people to look at the new profitable brands people want. So sad. Nova doomed before it is launched.

Too much time spent finding a cool name for a shitty OS.

Like I've said before.. HP now has rights to Palm OS and access to thousands of good apps and Palm OS developers if they just have the brains to include full Palm OS compatibility in their next release.

Gekko, you're calling the Centro a cheap toy now but you spent a lot of time defending it on the forum in the past?

Palma Nova
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Palma Nova (literally "New Palm") is a town on the Spanish Balearic island of Majorca, in the municipality of Calviā.

I'm flattered that you cared enough to look it up and repost it! Yup, that's what I said. I still look forward to the release of new Palms. Nostalgia--you can only experience it when you're old.
