New Palm phone is not the Centro

John Chan | Sep 10, 2007

Remember that European teaser site we saw last week, the one saying that a new "smart phone" will be announced on September 12 there? The outline of the image on that site seemed to correspond to leaked images of the rumored Centro device, but now, we know it is not the Centro. This is straight from the horse's mouth actually, really from Stephanie Richardson, a contributor to the official Palm blog.

In her short post titled "It's a Bird, it's a plane, it's not Centro", she mentions a new device which isn't the Centro. Let's deconstruct that. First, we know this confirms there is/was something called the Centro. Second, it could be that what's being launched is a different PDA-phone altogether, something we haven't seen. Third, there's a possibility that it's a smokescreen--the leaked image is the right one, just that they ain't calling it Centro.

Who knows? It's just a few days till then and we're not holding our breath for Palm to knock us over, in any case.
