Palm's "Centro" is a "shrunk-down" version of the 755p

Damian Koh | Aug 17, 2007

Rumors about the new Palm handheld never seem to die, but a media event held by Sprint in Northern Virginia has shed some light on the upcoming device.

According to Gearlog's Sascha Segan who was at the event, the Palm Centro, better known as the Gandolf to most Palm followers, has such a tiny QWERTY keyboard that "it's actually impossible to type on this thing with two thumbs". A Palm representative at the event told Gearlog that the handheld is targeted at the youth.

However, it's not clear to us whether the Centro will run on the Garnet OS or the newer Linux-based version from Access or Palm. As usual, Palm wasn't forthcoming with details.
