Buried in the current version of webOS is a file called miniboot.sh, which contains two device references, Castle and Pixie. The former is known to have been the development codename of the Pre, while leaks have attributed the latter alias to the Eos.

Now known as the Eos, the design pictured by Engadget is built as a replacement for the Centro but with features that would establish it as a lower-cost alternative to an iPhone. It would have a slightly smaller 2.6-inch, 320x400 multi-touch display bu... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/04/30/palm.eos.leak/ Thu, 30 Apr 2009 17:50:00 GMT Smaller Palm webOS device to be a Centro? http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/04/30/palm.centro.webos.rumor/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0904/palm2ndwebosphone.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Palm's mystery second, smaller webOS device may be a heavily redesigned version of the Centro, based on an escaped photo. Appearing to come from a slideshow, the device spotted by BGR has the same basic candybar design but a much larger screen and the same interface, including the multi-tasking button and the gesture area. Little else is known other than that the phone has a fall release date co... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/04/30/palm.centro.webos.rumor/ Thu, 30 Apr 2009 15:15:00 GMT Palm clearing out unlocked Centro phones for $199 http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/04/22/palm.centros.on.199.sale/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0904/PalmCentro199.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Palm is now offering unlocked GSM Centro smartphones for $199 in cobalt blue, ruby red or glacier white. The aging handset was first spotted in the summer of 2007, and it hasn't changed since. The handset sports a full QWERTY keyboard with rubber buttons, 64MB or 128MB of built-in storage space and a 320x320 pixel display.

The company's believed contractor for two unknown smartphones, Compal, has reportedly pushed back shipments for the mystery devices from mid-year until the end of the year. A switch in components for newer, faster Qualcomm chips is said to have prompted the delay.... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/03/23/palm.delay.rumor/ Mon, 23 Mar 2009 12:40:00 GMT Palm to remarket $49m of stock in survival bid http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/03/09/palm.resell.stock/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0901/palmsml.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Palm this morning took action to keep itself afloat and chose to put 18.5 million shares of its stock back on the market. The move gives the early smartphone pioneer at least $49 million in cash and would simultaneously give Palm's primary investor, Elevation Partners, that same money to use in buying back stock at Palm's higher price. How many of these shares will be bought isn't specified, tho... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/03/09/palm.resell.stock/ Mon, 09 Mar 2009 13:40:00 GMT Palm Pre internally delayed? http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/03/05/palm.pre.delayed.rumor/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0903/palmpre-2.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Palm's flagship Pre may be delayed at least within the company.
