Palm Gandolf -- the Affordable iPhone-Killer?
It seems the Foleo isn't the only thing Palm is working on these days, if the leaked photos and details of a new handheld device code-named Gandolf are to be believed. Inspired, perhaps, by the white wizard of fantasy lore, Gandolf, the device, will be available in trendy white plastic and will ship with Windows Mobile 6. The Palm OS version will be available in a more traditional black.
While we can't say it's a very good-looking device, Gandolf certainly looks nicer than the existing Treos from Palm. And the anticipated $200 price makes it a potentially attractive alternative to the iPhone.

Congrats Palm, you've captured the look of a 2004 device perfectly.
I guess visual voicemail won't be on it or a full blown internet experience.
You can't capture the imaginations of your future customers with last years technology.
Pay attention.

Is great news for Apple/ATT stockholders to know that the others companies can't develop anything newsworthy. I am ready to invest!!

Wow... good to see you losers have nothing better to do than salivate/bash new tech things. I'm so glad you care more about what new gadget is coming out, since that's SOOOOOOOO important. I mean, I know I sure can't wait to get home or to the office to check my e-mail. Nothing makes me feel more important than someone hitting me up on my personal device so I can check it in public and feel important. I bet you people alos had a pager when they first came out, even though you didn't need one, then had your mom beep you just so could look cool. A bunch of damn clown-shoes you all are... PS- I can't wait til every iPhone blows up...

Well, there has been an iPhone killer on the market for nearly a year: Nokia N91. This phone is far more superior to the iPhone in functionality and sytle. Take a look for yourself: http://www.nseries.com/index.html#l=products,n91,demo ....I own this phone and it is outstanding.

hillcrest, you're joking, right?

I like it...I would buy it and not because of the fantasy lore. If you can't have an IPhone why not have the next best thing.

I like it, but it needs a bigger screen. I'm not convinced about iPhone's touch screen keyboard. I like to feel the buttons.
