webOS-Based Palm Centro 2 Coming in Fall 2009?
We’d all be foolish to think that the Palm Pre would be the only device to carry the brand-new webOS operating system this year. Sure enough, early this morning I started reading some rumors of what could be the second device to run webOS. In a revamp of the somewhat satisfying original model (mediocre), the…

Palm has made it clear that the US will be the inaugural launch-market for the Palm Pre and its accompanying Web OS.

Nokia E71 coming to AT&T; User’s manual proves it, again!

If you haven’t seen the new Palm Pre device, I highly suggest you get in gear and check it out. The Palm Pre is the first device from Palm that actually has me somewhat excited! That’s something I haven’t said about Palm in years and years. Thankfully for all of us, Will was able to…
Nokia 5710 XpressMusic leaked again; Is it coming or not?
It was more than a year ago when we first spotted the Nokia 5710 XpressMusic in the wild. Then at the CES 2008, Stefan caught the device at Nokia’s booth, proving it’s not a smartphone. Now, a year later Nokia USA’s website is showing the same phone, indicating we might actually see it hitting the…
The iPhone Nano Won’t Die: Rumors Hit The Web Again
Just when you thought all of the iPhone Nano rumors were dead in the water, another one pops up. Sure, the final Macworld keynote has come and gone without too much fanfare (was sure hoping for another iPhone device to drool over), but that hasn’t stopped the rumors. An anonymous reader out there tipped off…
