Palm prepping "New Category of Mobile Devices"

We've been talking about the rumored Palm UMPC for quite a while now, though, as yet, we've had nothing substantial to chew on. Finally, the folks at Palm have given us an official indication that a new device is on the way. In a press release, the company announces that "Jeff Hawkins, founder of Palm...will host a live video webcast on Wed., May 30, to describe a new category of mobile device. The webcast will follow the announcement of this new product at the D: All Things Digital conference in Carlsbad, Calif." That's right folks, Gates and Jobs onstage together, a new mobile device from Palm and George Lucas all under one roof. Start booking your tickets to California now.
