Is the Palm Eos going to be AT&T's WebOS device?

Today must be the day for Palm rumors as we had the Mini-Pre rumor earlier and now have the Palm Eos rumor from Engadget. There are even a list of specs to accompany the Eos rumor and it looke like it will also be a WebOS device, except for a GSM version going to AT&T. It looks a bit like a Palm Treo Pro in a sleeker form factor

Today must be the day for Palm rumors as we had the Mini-Pre rumor earlier and now have the Palm Eos rumor from Engadget. There are even a list of specs to accompany the Eos rumor and it looke like it will also be a WebOS device, except for a GSM version going to AT&T. It looks a bit like a Palm Treo Pro in a sleeker form factor.

The rumored specs include:

  • 3G data connectivity
  • 4GB storage
  • Price: $349 (pre-rebate)
  • Camera: 2 megapixel fixed focus digital camera and flash / video capture
  • Connectivity: Bluetooth 2.1
  • Removable 1150 mAh battery
  • A-GPS

So this looks like a slightly lower speced device than the Palm Pre with less storage capacity, lower resolution camera, and no mention of WiFi support.

I'm not sold yet on Palm rolling out too many products at the moment as they struggle with cash issues and have a need to demonstrate they are a player in the mobile space with WebOS. Hopefully, they don't extend themselves too much at this time.
