14 DAY TRIAL // A few days ago Palm was rumored to be working on a second mobile phone that would run the newly unveiled webOS mobile operating system, and it seems that this device has started to take shape in the form of the Palm Eos. The available image with is shows that, in fact, we're not actually looking at a successor for the yet unreleased Pre, but rather at a piece that resembles the Centro.
Among the goodies that the Palm Eos should bring to users we can count quad-band GSM / HSDPA connectivity (which might work just fine on the 850 / 1900 AT&T and Rogers frequencies, suggesting that it will head towards these carriers), a 2.63-inch capacitive display that can provide a 320 x 400 pixel resolution, as well as a 2-megapixel photo snapper with fixed focus, flash and video recording capabilities.
The most interesting feature of the unannounced Palm mobile phone is the fact that it is expected to be 10.6mm thin, measure 55mm x 111mm and weigh 100 grams, all of which, along with a design featuring rounded corners, should make it pretty attractive.
Other specs of the phone include Bluetooth 2.1 w/ A2DP and EDR connectivity, as well as USB 2.0 via micro USB, 4GB of storage space, messaging capabilities including SMS, MMS (picture and video only), or integrated IM client, MediaNet, Cellular Video, Email capabilities (POP3, IMAP4, and EAS support), A-GPS, audio player with support for WAV, MP3, AAC, AAC+ file formats, and video playback of MPEG4, H.264, H.263 files.
Another feature of the Palm Eos that points towards its launch on AT&T's network is the fact that it includes Contact sync with AT&T Address Book. The handset's removable 1150 mAh battery can offer up to 4 hours of talk time on 3G. The price of the Eos seems to have been set at $349 (before rebate applies).
