Don’t ask me what the folks at Palm’s were smoking when they decided to call the device commonly known as Eos Pixi – the folks at Engadget’s got their hands on a pre-production model, and ended up pretty impressed:
…
All in all, we walked away impressed by the Pixi, but a little bummed that Palm has chosen to bring another webOS device to Sprint. Here’s hoping that this proliferation means the Pre will be finding its way to other carriers soon — part of Palm’s strength right now is that it’s not locked into a long term Apple / AT&T situation, and it would be a shame not to take full advantage of that. Still, it’s always nice to see a quality handset joining the smartphone ranks, and if this pans out to be as cheap as we think it should be, Palm could find themselves making a lot of new friends… Centro style.

I just got this e-mail from Palm:

The name makes some pretty good sense… “Eos” doesn’t really have any meaning (not in english, at least)… pixi, an obvious corruption of pixie, conjures thoughts of small size — precisely one of the things palm was going for in its design. The pixi is, quite obviously, very very small.
