The Rumor Mill

I usually don't post rumors, but there are so many floating around right now that it's hard to ignore them.

palmOne typically announces its new models in the Spring, so many of us are holding off upgrading until we see if there's anything new coming out (like yours truly). Devices named Tungsten E2 and Zire 73 have been spotted on at least one hardware vendor's Web site. These may be evolutionary upgrades to the Tungsten E and Zire 72 models, as their names suggest.

Most interesting of all, an entirely new model called "Life Drive" has been discussed at length on PalmInfoCenter. This device sounds too good to be true...a 4GB hard drive? Built-in WiFi and Bluetooth? Looks like a brick, but if the price is right... The palmOne lineup has been pretty stagnant for a while, so I certainly hope some of these rumors turn out to be true.

Finally, it looks like Verizon Wireless is soon going to be offering the palmOne Treo 650. My local Verizon rep told me it may be available as early as next month. It's about time!
