Tiny Treo


Gizmodo sneaked out some glamour shots of the forthcoming new Palm Centro, formerly known as the Gandolf(sic), a new Treo aimed at the youth market, and so tiny that its QWERTY keyboard is likely the smallest ever placed on a cellphone. It’s so small adult hands have great difficulty typing on them, but since it’s meant for tweens (or hobbits) and the youth market, we guess it’s ok.

The Palm Centro was announced at the Sprint Tech Summit last week, and Sprint will be releasing the unit exclusively for a limited time (90 days), after which it’ll be a free-for-all as far as distribution is concerned. The new Treo will run on EVDO and the Palm OS, and has a touchscreen to boot. The amazing thing is that Sprint will price it at US$99, a subsidized rate of course, but still reasonable for something like this.

We wait with bated breath.
