The Palm EOS (or Pixie, or Castle, or Mini-Pre, or…you get the drift) was little more than a rumour a few hours ago but now it’s all over the internet like a Paris Hilton bedroom video. Billed as the pre-runner to the upcoming Palm Pre (sort of like Silver Surfer to Galactus), the Palm EOS handset is the successor in it’s own right to the Centro.
The Palm EOS handset comes with a whole range of goodies including 3G and quad-band GSM/HSDPA. We’ll just list the specs so you can get the drooling out of the way
