Today HP had a bargain blitz clear out and officially closed their Palm Stores, forever. The move comes after some odd decisions to kill off some Palm products, including the unreleased TouchPad tablet, and even their Pre 3 which is one of the nicest handsets with QWERTY keyboards i’ve typed on.
Mophie, maker of battery cases for iPhone and Samsung flagships, has decided to make a $60 battery case for the new Palm phone. Why though?
Palm’s first new phone in nearly a decade looks like it was created for another era. With just a 3.3-inch 720p LCD screen and an 800Ah battery, the so-called “Pepito” handset is set to launch before the end of the year.
In the early part of this century, Palm handheld devices were a popular choice before smartphones took over the market. Now, it looks like a new Palm device is coming later this year.
