Palm Centro Multifunction Pen Stylus

Aftermarket accessory aces Seidio are again hard at work to release a new line of peripherals for Palm's latest smartphone, the Centro, as it has a unique stylus shape, formfactor, and battery design not shared with any other Treo models. The Centro has been the rather surprising recipient of praise left amongst both new and veteran smartphone users alike. However, one of the chief complaints (mentioned by Ryan in his Centro review) leveled at the device has been its toothpick-sized, flimsy plastic stylus. Seidio now is one of the first companies with an all-metal bodied replacement stylus for the Centro.

Palm PDA & Black Friday Sale Going on Now

Palm TX SaleBlack Friday may still be a couple days out, but the deep discounts are already going on now at the Palm.com store. Two Palm PDAs are being substantially discounted as part of the Palm Store's "Black Friday" specials. Both deals sweeten the offer with a free bundled Palm accessory with each PDA in addition to free ground shipping and the opportunity to avoid the crowds at local malls and stores.

The Palm TX is currently on sale for an ultra-low $199.00 after a $100 instant rebate. This is the first time to my knowledge that a new Palm TX has been available under $240 and definitely the first time it’s been available under $200 from a reputable seller. Palm is bundling a Palm Wireless IR Keyboard (a $69.00 value from the Palm Store) with each TX purchase. I personally own this exact keyboard and while it’s not as pleasant to use as the newer, pricier Palm Bluetooth keyboard, it's a solid unit if you can live with the usual limitations of Infrared. Users whose needs require a dedicated PDA and wi-fi or a 320x480 screen should definitely jump on this deal ASAP.
