SlashGear JapanWhen Palm sent out invitations for users to trial an “innovative new product” earlier on this week, the criteria that participants must be heavy smartphone and email users, have a WiFi router and an account with Sprint led many to presume that it referred to the Treo 800w. That handset – long in the making, and believed to be hitting Sprint in July - is expected to have the usual full thumbboard as well as WiFi, EV-DO Rev.A and Windows Mobile 6, and it seems reasonable that Palm would be beta testing it around now. However, just as we were all about to file the rumor away, another possibility was suggested: could Palm be reviving the Foleo?
We all got very familiar with this picture of a multi-coloured shoal of Wii, metaphorically gliding through the waves that the big fish on the console scene were causing, and so when on release day we could only buy the white version there were many people disappointed (though obviously even more were disappointed that the dang thing sold out so quickly!) Now, courtesy of the rumour-mill and a loquacious Toys-R-Us manager, comes the news that Nintendo might just be relaunching their sweat-prompting console in the new year, along with a drop in price to $200 and a variety of colour options.
