Palm Centro - First Clean Image

After days of looking at blurry pictures, here comes the first clean image (it’s a computer rendering) of the Palm Centro.

As we said before, the word on the street is that the Centro is a low-cost smartphone that would retail for $99 or so. It looks like a (small and) good phone for heavy SMS users and we’ll have to see what other functionalities are available before commenting further. I can’t wait for the upcoming leak of the user manual and/or the specs. I wonder if Palm organized the “leak” because they are under pressure right now…

Sansa Clip – the Apple Shuffle killer?

The Sansa clip is yet another piece of technology that’s going to make my life better, especially at the gym.

I hate to use my iPod video there: it’s big and heavy and I dislike having the headphones cable go from my pants/shorts pocket. The obvious solution is to get an iPod Shuffle and clip it on my shoulder or something, but the !@#$%^ doesn’t support FM radio (most gyms have TV broadcasting the audio over FM). Also, the Shuffle is blind (no display) and dumb (shuffle) – but it’s good looking.

In short, the Sansa Clip is a better alternative to the iPod Shuffle, but it’s not nearly as sexy.
