Rumours Abound Regarding Palm Cell Phones-Gadgetlink2

There are many rumours that can circulate across the internet in the world of online gadgetry and one of the chief jobs of a good blogger is to distinguish between rumours that might be true and rumors that are most definitely not true. Every now and then a rumour falls into a grey area between these two extremes and this is definitely one of those situations.

Palm, the company that achieved fame through the marketing and creation of handheld personal desktop assistant devices, is apparently planning to release two new phones into the market. In a report put into circulation by TamsPPC, two phones that have been given project development names of Zeppelin and Skywriter are going to be coming to the market within the next six months. These phones will include a combination of phone features and PDA features and for that reason will represent a high-end all-in-one solution from the Palm Company.

In particular, the rumour being circulated seems to have more to say about Skywriter than Zeppelin , as many sites are now claiming that TamsPPC reported that the Skywriter would be a device manufactured in the style of the famous Palm 500 design. It would have Windows Mobile 6.1 pre-loaded onto the actual device when you got it and the device itself would have keys for all letters of the alphabet in QWERTY style so that you could use it to communicate and type even when you were stuck in traffic and far away from any foreseeable help.

While this rumour is certainly interesting, at the same time the major problem with it that there are no facts to back up this rumour. Most rumours and conspiracies in the online world have at least a smattering of facts to interpret from, but this one contains none. Still, some websites have shown mock-ups of the device and for therefore there is still reason to believe that the Palm cell phones might be hitting the stores later on this year.
