Pictures Leaked of 3 new Palm handhelds

ahecht writes "On Thursday, Palm's Solutions Group's CEO Todd Bradley announced that 3 new handhelds will be released in October. Within 24 hours, pictures of all three handhelds have leaked out on the web. The first to be released, the sub-$100 Zire, can be seen here. The second handheld, previously known as Oslo, now has the name Tungsten T, and features OS 5 and built in bluetooth (pictured here). The third handheld is the Tungsten W, pictured here, which is a GPRS smartphone (although it does not have a built-in speaker or microphone). Zire will be released October 7th, while both Tungsten models will be released on October 28th." Could just be rumors or fakes, but it seems reasonable.

    Well I guess that's how you solve the problem of leaked pictures. . . You post the site on slashdot, and the problem kinda works itself out.

    Anyone have a mirror?

  3. I wouldn't mind... by MsGeek · · Score: 3, Funny

    ...one of these. Spiffy little bugger. Stylish as hell. The two buttons are for the datebook and the address book...isn't that what you most work with on a Palm, anyway? It would be nice to have a spare in reserve in case my m100 goes south. 2MB is a surprisingly large amount of space when you use lightweight Palm apps. It's like having a Mac SE in your pocket. I like it. It's not a replacement for a laptop or a Zaurus or an iPaq. It's a Palm. It's the right tool for the job.

    every shot of OS5 looks just like every other Palm OS since... well since the beginning.

    Yeah, what gives?... in Intro to HCI we learned the critical importance of changing the user interface as much as possible between OS versions. (Or was that, the importance of not changing... hm, well, maybe I shouldn't have slept through that lecture. ;)

  6. We apologise for the misconception. by SHEENmaster · · Score: 2, Funny

    It appears that we have mislead you by claiming that the new Palm-Dealy had a 32-bit display. In reality, it has a 4-bit greyscale display. The image we chose as a "demo screen" was a 32 bit image made with Maya, Bryce, and Vouse Espirit taking our render farm a week to render. It is not an actual screenshot of the next version of palmOS and it is not and actual image of the Palm-Dealy's screen. We apologize for the misconception and will offer $10 rebates against an accessory purchase valued at $1000 or more.
