Palm Devices Show Up at Verizon’s Database, Pre and Eos Anyone?
Certainly by now most, if not all of you know the code name for the Palm Pre is P100. Now one of PhoneArena’s most loyal tipsters has just shared some “spicy info” with them. As you can see on the images below, there’s no doubt they are Palm devices, but there are only clues on which ones.
On the image above you are able to notice that one of those devices is codenamed the Palm P101 smartphone for Verizon Wireless. I think is safe to speculate about this one by saying that there is a good chance for the P101 to be the Palm Pre itself. For Sprint is the P100, so maybe is just a way to differentiate the Sprint device from the Verizon one. Unless there’s a hardware change of some kind.
That brings us to the image below, which on this case is a Palm 121 smartphone for VZW (Verizon Wireless). As far as we all know, the only other Palm device coming out is the Palm Eos/Pixie. So, either the Eos will be the P120 for Sprint and the P121 for VZW using the logic mentioned before, or somebody is just messing with our Pre-loving brains.

The Palm Pre is Oficially Canadian Too, New Apps to Celebrate
Finally the Palm Pre is on Canadian hands, it wasn’t long ago we brought news of the official launch. Well, yesterday was the big day for our neighbors up north. And to celebrate, Palm released four new apps. Lets face it, we didn’t feel good with only 41 apps in the App Catalog.
The Bell Palm Pre is priced at CA$199.95 with a new three-year contract, and delivers the same EVDO Rev.A connectivity, as the Sprint US model. And basically is the same device with a slide-out QWERTY keyboard, capacitive touchscreen and webOS – with multitasking and synergy – goodness. And don’t forget the monthly plans, which start from CA$45 per month with voice/message/data with a 500MB allowance. But if you want unlimited data, you’ll need to step up to at least CA$60 per month.
And now to the newest apps; The first one is Yelp, which is yet another restaurant app, although many of us think is one of the best. So go on and give it a try. Next is Yahtzee Demo, a demo game that involves rolling a dice to play, but it’s actually fun. The third app is Tetris Mania Demo, from Electronic Arts. It’s also just a demo, but puts a new spin on the great original. And available in english and French for our fellow neighbors up north, The Canadian Press Mobile, national and world news and pics right on your Pre.
