Palm Post revealed at CTIA 2009

Who said Palm was a dying company may need to practice eating some crow as Palm continues to shock the world with new mobile devices. The first big move by Palm was introducing the Pre back in January. Yesterday, Palm revealed the predecessor to the Pre, called Post.

Here is Palm’s press release:

We’ve put an enormous amount of time, energy, and resources into the development and production of our new flagship device – the Palm Post. Rather than rush our highly anticipated Palm Pre to the market, we thought it was in the best interest of both our customers and our company to perform extended R&D on our new hardware and software.

Not only does this ensure that consumers will receive the highest quality mobile device possible, but by moving our top engineers to a new facility – The Orchid – we’ve been able to do what no other company has been able to achieve until now…we’ve preemptively included all of the features and technologies that our customers (and Sprint) will want come 2011 in the Post! In other words, thanks to the DHARMA Intiative, we no longer have to wait for months of testing and feedback, but instead can rely on the needs and desires consumers will develop in the not to distant future. This enables us to provide the best, most comprehensive smartphones available anywhere on planet Earth.

These are the specs for the Post:

• 3.5G / 4G / 5G octo-band radios
• WiFi / WiMax connectivity
• 21 MP digital camera with 1080p video recording
• 4.1″ AMOLED / E-ink “reader” dual-mode display
• Bluetooth 4.0
• Wireless USB charging/syncing
• 128GB flash memory
• Hydrogen-cell battery: 2 weeks talk-time / 2 months standby
• HD pico projector w/ 5.1 channel surround
• T10 predictive thought text auto-correction

Forget the Pre, I want the Post. Look at how thin that baby is. I’m sure a ‘reasonable’ price tag will accompany it, right? I wonder how long it will take for this bad boy to come across the border to Canada so I can get my hands on it. Now that I got TealOS running on my Tungsten T3, this phone is really making me drool. Too bad that this is chaired by Sloof Lirpa. Guess today will be one of those news days where you can’t believe what you read. Koodos to MobileCrunch for such a compelling story.
