New Palm Eos with webOS Coming to AT&T?

It looks like you won’t have to switch to Sprint for a little webOS lovin’ after all. At least that will be the case if the rumors surrounding the new Palm Eos are legit. Earlier this morning, The Boy Genius Report showed off a blurry image of Palm’s follow-up to the Pre. It looked a lot like a BlackBerry Bold was stretched vertically, but details were slim other than the foggy photo shot. This afternoon, Engadget released a clearer image, specs, and a name for the new webOS phone. It’s codenamed Castle and dubbed the “Eos.” It sports quad-band GSM/HSDPA support in the 850/1900 bands, which means it could run on AT&T’s network. The Eos measures 4.3 x 2.1 x 0.45 inches (that’s right, less than a half inch thin) and has a 2.6 inch 320 x 400 capacitive touch-screen display. Other features include 4GB of onboard storage, a 2-MP camera, POP/IMAP e-maill, GPS, and Bluetooth. That’s a well rounded list of features, and if the OS is as snappy as it looks on the Palm Pre, you can color us interested.The candy bar form factor looks attractive, and it’s a great deal slimmer than the Palm Pre. Our only real question is whether the display and interface will be as responsive given that the screen size is smaller, and whether that smaller LCD will make Web browsing less compelling. There’s no word on a release date or offical language stating that it will come to AT&T, but Engadget says the phone will cost $349 before a rebate.
