While many people think it's do or die for Palm based on the success of the Pre, Palm isn't subscribing to that thinking. Palm is getting ready to add another member to the Palm webOS family of smartphones. The Palm Eos will replace the hugely successful Centro. The Palm Eos is expected to debut on AT&T in the fall with a $99 price tag with a 2 year contract. Engadget has posted the full spec sheet and it's VERY impressive. The phone will supposedly be an astounding 10.6mm thin, will measure just 55mm x 111mm (about 2.1 by 4.3-inches), weigh 100 grams, and will tout a 2.63-inch, 320 x 400 capacitive display.
