Palm teaser hints at early Centro launch for Europe

which-palm-centro-is-this

We can’t be certain what Palm‘s playing at with this teaser brochure on its website: either it’s talking about the launch of a European marketing campaign for the Centro on September 12th, or Palm’s managed to pull a fast one and is ready to launch the Centro (or another unseen phone) in the next two weeks. We’re guessing the former, but at least this promotion tells us something about this phone, Centro or not: the first people to get their hands on one will be European. Check out the website, and if you live in The Netherlands, the UK, Germany, or Italy, enter your details to potentially win not one, but five Palm smartphones.

Debunk: really bad iPod mockups abound

ipod-nano-photoshop

This is what passes for an iPod hoax these days? You may have seen the latest round of new iPod nano photos floating around the internets, but even if you wanted to ignore the fact that they look severely photoshopped (and we mean severely — see the original hand outline?), you can’t really ignore the fact that they seemed to show up first on the Flickr stream of a dude that seems to do little more than Apple product concept designs. Judge for yourself, but even though this may be what the next nano winds up looking like, we’d bet these aren’t the first leaked shots of it.
