All it takes is a little rumor to get us going. First we saw the Palm Roadrunner, a device running webOS 2.0 somewhere in the wild. But we have no idea what Roadrunner is and how it looks like. Then the first webOS 2.0 screenshots and videos appeared which confirmed the fact that despite the fact Palm is really moving very slow in the mobile business, they do have some form of a plan for the near future.
Today we get another rumor, or better said, a leak, starring the Palm Mansion, which appears to be the next Palm smartphone. Dare I hope this Mansion here is going to be an outstanding device? The kind of smartphone that could bring some sort of novelty to the mobile business currently dominated by iOS and Android?
Call me a dreamer, but I still think Palm has what it takes to become a better player at this mobile game. The company had its fair share of problems and the Pre, or any of its successors (Pre Plus, Pixi and Pixi Plus), were not able to bring Palm back into the spotlights.
But now, under new supervision (read HP), Palm might have access to the resources needed to create a better smartphone. The Mansion is apparently a touchscreen-only handset that will come with a 800 x 480 resolution. Palm seems ready to dump the physical keyboard in this next model, and we imagine it will come with lots of webOS 2.0 features on board. The codename doesn’t make that much sense though although we really don’t care what they’re going to call it as long as they make it. In fact just recently we showed you two webOS devices spotted in the wild, and this Mansion thing might just be one of them.
We’ll definitely keep tabs on this rumor, even if it proves to be fake in the end. We’ll also have to congratulate Palm for at least making an effort when it comes to leaks and rumors. So, Palm, what else is there to know about the Mansion?
