palm_eos_engadget_1 There have been some more Palm rumors floating around, accompanied by a blurry photo. This is supposed to be a thin, Treo-like device sporting the same OS that Palm designed for the Palm Pre. Well, Engadget has some juice on this new device. I present to you, courtesy of Engadget, the Palm Eos rumored specs…

  • 4GB storage
  • Price: $349 (pre-rebate)
  • Camera: 2 megapixel fixed focus digital camera and flash / video capture
  • Connectivity: Bluetooth 2.1 w/ A2DP and EDR, USB 2.0 via micro USB
  • Removable 1150 mAh battery (4 hours 3G talk time)
  • Messaging: SMS, MMS (picture and video only), integrated IM client
  • Contact sync with AT&T Address Book
  • MediaNet
  • Cellular Video
  • Email: POP3, IMAP4, and EAS support
  • A-GPS
  • Audio: WAV, MP3, AAC, AAC+ ringtones
  • Video Playback: MPEG4, H.264, H.263

Super thin huh? Little bitty battery, but notice the “contact sync AT&T Address Book”. Hot. I was really hoping for the Palm Treo Pro on AT&T, this should do though. What do you think of Palm’s tenacity?

  • From what I've read, it will be $99 on AT&T (probably after a 2 year contract and data plan). I think this is more like a Centro than a Treo, though.

    As for why the buzz now, the article I read said the Pre might not get as good a reception as Palm hoped, partially because of issues with the Pre itself and partially because the Pre is only on Sprint. Maybe this is a fallback device in case the Pre doesn't live up to expectations.
