Rumors have it that PalmOne has an update to the LifeDrive and Tungsten T5. That's pretty quick especially for the LifeDrive which has come out only a couple of months ago. They say maybe the fall, the reason for this is because Hitachi has a 6GB drive available that PalmOne will put in its next LifeDrive version. Hitachi also plans to have an 8-10 GB hard drive, nicknamed “Mikey”, that is 20 percent smaller than the current one-inch models later this year. This probably means that PalmOne may release an interim LifeDrive update before whetting our appetites for the next one after that with 10GB!
The update to the Tungsten T5 (which they've codenamed XX), is supposed to finally feature Wi-Fi as well as Bluetooth, but be slower (312MHz instead of 416MHz) to save on battery life. It will not be running PalmOS Cobalt but Garnet (PalmOS 5.4.9). According to PDAStreet news, they say that PalmOne probably won't be releasing a Palm with Cobalt but go straight to a Palm OS Linux. Interesting times for the PalmOne company. Oh yeah, the company is not called PalmOne anymore, it's back to Palm. I never did like the name PalmOne, as opposed to what PalmTwo?
What I would like is a Palm with an iPod-like music MP3 player, phone, Bluetooth and WiFi and camera. And it slices, dices and juliennes, haha.
