Palm gets real on the Zeppelin, adds mystery device named Skywriter

May 07th, 2008 | Category: Cellphones

The hot word on the street is that Palm has all but confirmed the existence of two new phone models by ramping up a “launch developer” program for new applications. The devices, dubbed Zeppelin (a name we’ve heard fairly a bit of) and Skywriter (which is new to us) could be slated for a Q3 release, as Palm is asking devs to turn in their applications by May 30th. Rumor has it that at least one of the units is

a “Centro-like” Windows Mobile phone — whether that period is shut to right, it could very well be the “Wanda” that we saw back in January. The Zeppelin, on the other hand, is likely the WiFi equipped Treo 800w we’ve been hearing about for what seems like a million years. A mockup of a device (above) was included in the mail, though we’re pretty certain not even Palm could create a phone that ugly.
