Palm’s new Smartphone “iPhone like”
Mobility Site —
... Crunchgear is circulated a report from “a trusted source” concerning the new Nova-powered smartphone Palm which will be launched Thursday at CES. The description of the new device is pretty much as expected, with the dreaded and heavily over-used term “iPhone-like” being mentioned by the source.

There will also be a software ‘bazaar’ to complement the phone’s Nova platform along with the customary Palm business features.
We’ll keep this unconfirmed until Palm reveals the phone at the CES which begins from this Thursday.

... and comes with a full QWERTY keyboard that slides down under a portrait-oriented touchscreen. A mock-up above should explain you how this could look like…
And that’s about all we know at this stage. If everything goes as planned, we’ll see Palm returning to the “game” starting from this Thursday, when they’ll go all official with the new device and OS at the CES. Guess that $100 million injection helped a lot.

Is this the new Palm Nova phone? iPhone killer name dusted off?
Gadgetell —
... also says this Nova powered phone will be a bargain. Call it poor timing, but Palm is introducing this phone at what we hope will be the bottom of the economic downswing. That should mean the price will be low to attract quick sales.

CrunchGear says they've got the dirt on what Palm is launching at CES, which, let's face it, better be awesome if they wanna stick around. According to their source, that may just be the case. They say that the Nova OS is "amazing" and will have an app store at launch. And it'll have media playback (uh, kinda like every other smartphone OS). The touchscreen is portrait-oriented—CrunchGear calls it "large," but a screen that's large for Palm and for everybody else has historically been fairly divergent. That said, it's being sourced to HTC, so ...
