Two new SKUs have popped up in Verizon databases: the P120, presumed to be an updated Palm Pre, possibly with 16 GB of storage, and the C40, which many believe to be the the Palm Eos. We had seen signs of something similar to the P120 in Verizon’s inventory not long ago, but earlier rumours were floating around that the Eos, Palm’s second webOS smartphone, wouldn’t be ready until 2010. Besides, we don’t have any confirmation that the product codes necessarily point to the Eos or a 16 GB Pre – a camera-less, or 32 GB Palm Pre are also possibilities. There aren’t any release dates as yet, and considering the $1.00 price placeholders, it’s still too early to count on much additional information.
