Is this the Palm Gandolf?

by Nilay Patel posted Jun 8th 2007 at 10:14PM

You know how much we love an ugly Photoshop job around here, and this grainy, pixelated image of a rumored Palm "Gandolf" certainly brings the ugly. We have no idea where this pic came from or if it's real, but if it is, it'll represent a pretty big design departure for Palm -- it actually looks pretty HTC-ish to us. The source says this EV-DO unit is actually the much-rumored "Hollywood," and will debut on Sprint for under $200, but we'll believe it when we see it.

That screen is small. Who would want it?

I think that this could have a lot of potential. I think sprint would and should target it at youth who want devices for text, email, and im. Similar to the VZW enV, U740(?) and TMO Sidekick.

For the price, I know I would buy it. I have been waiting for a qwerty device under $200. I wish Sprint had the enV. But I love Sprint and will not leave just for a phone.

Its a bad photoshopped image of the Creative Zen:M. The shape is a dead giveaway, as is the screen placement and size. Also, I work with Photoshop daily, and the image bears the classic hallmarks of someone manipulating the image and then adding noise to make it look genuine. (if you do it poorly, the noise ends up looking uniform, as in this case). I'm also pretty sure that that keyboard is taken directly from either the HTC Cavalier or the new Motorola Q9.
