Comments: I think 2007 will be the year where mobile technology vendors proved that inexpensive doesn't necessarily mean cheap and unusable. It happened with the Asus Eee PC and then again with Palm's Centro for Sprint. The trend continues in 2008 now that a Palm Centro has arrived on AT&T's GSM network. This $99 Palm OS smartphone has definitely impressed me over the past few days of hands-on use, but I'm just getting started. Remember, in my years of using mobile tech, I've never purchased a Palm device so this loaner is intriguing. Folks that use feature phones don't have to spend much more to get a full-featured smartphone and I think that's why we're seeing so many Palm Centro units fly off the shelves. The full press release with details follows and in this short video, I give you a very quick look at the device and its capabilities. I'll have more thoughts over the next week or two before I return the unit.
