Palm Pré 2 rumours gathering pace
Eos en route?
Just 24 hours after news broke about a possible Palm Pré 2 launch, Register Hardware’s discovered yet more information about the rumoured handset, including its name and a full specification list.

Palm's Eos will be an alternative to the Pré
Unconfirmed sources cited by Engadget claim to have discovered that the phone will be called Eos and measure somewhere in the region of 111 x 55 x 10.6mm. The yet-to-be-released Pré measures 100.5 x 59.5 x 16.9mm and has a slide-out keyboard which the Eos lacks.
Equipped with quad-band GSM and HSDPA 3G support, the Eos will also feature a 2.6in, 320 x 400 touchscreen.
It’s not been said if the display will support multi-touch, which the Pré does. As the Eos will be marketed as an alternative to the Pré, it’s possible that the phone will lack some of the Pré’s features, such as multi-touch.
A 2Mp camera will be built into the Eos and users should get 4GB of storage – integrated into the phone, presumably. Bluetooth 2.1 and a Micro USB port will be included for moving data around, but there’s no mention of an external storage card slot.
Assisted GPS will also be supported, as will MMS, a range of audio formats – including MP3 and AAC – and H.264 video. The phone’s battery is said to hold out for four hours of talk time.
As previously reported, the WebOS-based phone could hit the shops later this year. ®

It was announced, but it was ALWAYS meant to be available in the "first half of the year", nearly 2 months to go.
Cheers
RE: Palm is its own worst enemy
I kind of agree, and if the Pre comes out as locked and only on contract then my Treo 650 will be the last Palm I own.
As for converting your data, depending on your OS, Missing Sync from Mark/Space Inc might help.
Palm is its own worst enemy
I heard about the Pre before xmas, so I canceled buying a Centro to test Pre before I decided. But has it shipped, no. Something is seriously wrong, either little cash, production problems, showstopper bugs, management backstabbing or just plain incompetence.
Killing your current product-line with vapor-ware and FUD only make competitors happy.
I'll go find a tool to convert my 10 years of Palm Calendar and Contacts to any other smartphone format.
Cobalt and Pre RIP Palm.
no WiFi??
Apparently it won't have WiFi. I can't imagine buying a phone today that doesn't do WiFi.
Eos?
Well, I'm sure that the name EOS has never been used in a product that contains a camera.....
