According to a report by PalmInfoCenter, Palm is rumored to be working on an update to the Palm Centro that will run the new Palm webOS. The Palm Centro has been a major success for the company selling millions of units. They reference a snippet from PCMag speculates that a candybar form factor without a QWERTY keyboard could be in the works.

The current Palm product line is based upon three operating systems:

  • Palm Pre: webOS
  • Palm Treo: Windows Mobile Professional
  • Palm Centro: Palm OS
The legacy Palm OS has served the company well, but it would certainly make sense for the company to transition those users to the new webOS. From a support standpoint alone, Palm could focus on support just two platforms. One of the reasons for the Centro's success has been the price. If they were to develop a low-cost entry level Centro running webOS, it would sell in droves.

centro on webos

I think the centro would be good with webos or use the procase and make it webos and put it on gsm or give it dual cdma and gsm radios Why nis it that palm in resurrecting themselves seems intent on relying on the low man on the cellular totem pole by hanging their hat on the sprint hat rack only.
