Palm Zeppelin and Skywriter Devices
Posted by Ed Hansberry in "Pocket PC Hardware" @ 05:00 AM
"The hot word on the street is that Palm has all but confirmed the existence of two new phone models by ramping up a "launch developer" program for new applications. The devices, dubbed Zeppelin (a name we've heard quite a bit of) and Skywriter (which is new to us) could be slated for a Q3 release, as Palm is asking devs to turn in their applications by May 30th. Rumor has it that at least one of the units is a "Centro-like" Windows Mobile phone -- if that date is close to correct, it could very well be the "Wanda" that we saw back in January. The Zeppelin, on the other hand, is likely the WiFi equipped Treo 800w we've been hearing about for what seems like a million years."
Engadget has an image of a supposed mockup, but it is so ugly I am not going to bother posting it here. If that is what the Zeppelin will look like, it will be dubbed the Lead Zeppelin, as in brick, not the rock band.
