Rumors of a Pink
Palm Centro have been brought up on the
SprintUsers forum along with an official looking image. The image shows a pink colored Centro in the same style as some of the official promo images, which
were also leaked shortly before the official Centro announcement. While a release date is far from certain at this point, a couple of posters claim to have heard of a January 6th availability date and also an in-store date of Jan 13th from various Sprint retail employees.
The Palm Centro is currently exclusively available from Sprint in the US in Onyx Black and Ruby Red. It starts at $99 when purchased with a select data plan and two year service agreement.

They weren't too kind when it was still a living, breathing device – as a matter of fact they, along with the majority of the internet community, were downright
scathing – but popular tech blog Engadget has managed to get their hands on Palm's doomed Mobile Companion, the
hapless Foleo. A short review is pending, but in the meantime they’ve thrown up a gallery of pics,
perusable here.
The oft-maligned Foleo was announced in May this year, to general derision from the Internet technocrati. The brainchild of Palm founder Jeff Hawkins, it was meant to spearhead a new Palm product line, but was instead ignominiously cancelled barely three months later. If you're interested in even more shots of the Foleo in action, checkout PIC's hands on preview from the announcement.
