MobileRead’s Bob Russell managed to undig these images some time ago – they show two Palm OS Cobalt smartphones which were developed by a Singapore-based company called Oswin:

Looking at the specifications, I really have to wonder why these two never hit the road – back when they were to be announced, they definitely would have been two of the hottest smartphones on the market (especially the QWERTY one). Unfortunately, it looks like the company behind these devices has long gone belly-up…which means that we couldn’t ask them even if we wanted to..,.
