This one is still very much a rumor, but PreCentral is reporting that it's heard from a "very reliable tipster" who says that Palm is prepping a new phone codenamed "Mansion," which may or may not be the same device that recently turned up in a certification database under the name P102. The real kicker, however, is that the phone is supposedly a touchscreen-only device, and that the screen is said to boast a fairly high 800 x 480 resolution -- no word on screen size, unfortunately. Not much more than that to go on at the moment, but the "Mansion" codename itself does at least make a bit of sense -- as a PreCentral commenter has noted, the Pre was originally codenamed "Castle."
My personal take on this matter is that this will put palm back in the Race of smartphones. The Web OS is beautiful. If they were able to add the OS with the Android market and put it on the evo 4g they would have a gold mine in their " palm".
For this phone to take off they will need to drop the commercial add of the pale lady that looks like she is going to die at any moment. Research In Motion also need to show the power that the phone has. I also believe that the battery life needs to be a main focus. I say this because if you have a smartphone where all of the features can be used without having to cut everything off, that would make alot of people take interest in that phone.
