more fun palm stuff:
also, it seems that there is an anonymous informer lurking on the boards (he was dead on with the details of the m105 launch, so it seems to me that he’s on the inside track):
The enhancements of these units are many. The alarm system will now have a flashing
power button and a vibrator for a silent alarm. The will be a much smaller expansion
pack on the back of the unit in which many things will fit, ranging for a digital camera
to a 256k back memory card to a number of Sega gaming cards. These cards will be
about ΒΌ the size of the ones used on the Handspring. The left had rail will be smaller
than that of the V and Vx. Palm has also built a feature to dial phone numbers out of
the address book and beam the command to you cellular phone. After a “hard reset”
you will have the option to restart the palm in a number of languages. The Battery
power claims to be longer and the weight lighter. On the m505 the screen will be
65k color just like its competitor the Prism, and on the m505 it will be a regular
plasma screen. The price on the m505 is $449us and $399us on the m500,
i’m assuming w/ the cell phone beaming he’s talking about the bluetooth add-on, although perhaps the ir-port will work w/ those new nokias out of the box.
