New Palm OS Devices Coming: HandEra, Smartphone and Watch
HandEra, the new name for TRG Products, is on the list of people with a booth at CeBit next week. They may use this as an opportunity to release their new model, which is rumored to have an improved screen and an updated design.
Samsung has finally posted a picture (left) of the SPH-1300, the smartphone they announced at PalmSource, though they give almost no details. The most interesting thing about it is that it will have a color screen, giving it a leg up on the recently released Kyocera smartphone, which does not.
At its announcement, Samsung called their smartphone a "wireless intelligent terminal". It is expected to use CDMA, cost about $500, and be released in the second quarter of this year.
Fossil is rumored to be developing a watch that runs the Palm OS, accordingthis Geek.com article. According to Joel, "it will sync with the Palm, be able to beam, and is slated for a Fall launch." It is supposed to be close to the Matsucom OnHand, the world's smallest PDA.

Earlier picture...
RE: Earlier picture...
I also remember hearing from a Samsung rep at CES that this unit also has a small LCD on either the side or top of the unit that shows caller id, time/date, battery information (like a pager display) so you don't have to take it off your belt to see what's going on. He did mention that it was an early prototype that he saw, but this same info was also present in an earlier CNET article, so hopefully it'll be included on the final product. He also told me that the unit is the same thickness as the Palm V (not sure if that includes battery or not).

This picture looks amazing! If it does sell for $500, it would clearly force Kyocera & Handspring to lower the price on their products.
