I have already stopped to expect Nova devices hitting the road ever – but the odds have just improved significantly. A PEF member has just posted the following bit of info after trying to get his broken Treo 680 repaired:
I went to the local AT&T store here in CT and they couldn’t help me obtain a new one, and tried to sell me on a Centro (2G, yecch!). Then the salesperson hinted that I should hold off on buying a new PalmOS-based Palm, because he was recently sent to an all-day training where there was a Palm rep there who demoed and trained them on how to use, market and sell the “new” Palm devices coming at the end of the year. The AT&T person I spoke with said it is nothing like anything that’s already out there, including the iPhone or Android. I pushed for more details, and he said it wasn’t the device from ACCESS.
So that piqued my interest quite a bit… and I’ve decided to hold off upgrading my Treo 680 for the next few months, but I need to replace the one I have.
As of not, nothing is known about what these boxen will be and about how developers feel about them. Nevertheless, I always appreciate to hear sth positive from Palm’s end – no matter how small…

Intriguing. Someone should perhaps try to confirm that.
Indeed, I am a little sceptical at the moment, but if true this is fantasic news.
pale blue centro, dark blue centro, pale pink centro, electric pink centro, olive green centro, donkey’s belly gray centro.
Jokes aside, access has released screenshots of ALP under unknown motivations, something must be going on the palm side. Intriguing… Lets hope the best!
Probably just another Windows device — the “Treo Super-Pro” (sigh)
This is the Treo Pro. Nova devices won’t ship until the 1st quarter of 2009.
Hello Folks,
tbph: I don’t think that this is the Treo Pro we’re looking at – this box has been around for ages…
On the other hand: Palm employees say that the m505′s screen is ‘as bright as the sun’…

I would like to be hopeful. But I don’t put much stock in what sales staff in AT&T stores have to say. These folks aren’t much more informed than the teens who work the floor at Best Buy, in my experience.

I have not seen anything from PALM at the FCC
for approval so this would mean they are long ways of from anything other than the Treo pro we already know.
if there was a new super palm device coming some sort info wuold have already been seen at the FCC.
Hi JAV,
