They can't be both right: another set of Tungsten T4 specs surfaces

Immediately casting into doubt those Tungsten T4 specs
we just mentioned a few moments ago, some competing "leaked" specs have turned up on PalmInfocenter. These ones differ
slightly from the others, but do seem somewhat more plausible. Again, we don't have any independent confirmation (if we
did, we wouldn't be posting up two conflicting sets of specs), but supposedly the T4 will have 64MB of RAM, an ATI
Imageon graphics controller, Bluetooth, run on Palm OS 6/Cobalt, two SD expansion card slots (which'll work with Palm's
new WiFi card — the other slot would be for a memory card), and retail for around $400. Except for running on Palm OS
6, it actually sounds sorta like the Tapwave Zodiac when you think about it…
PS - That's a Tungsten T3 pictured at right. Conveniently there aren't any leaked pics to backup any of the leaked
specs.

Palm, Puh-Leeez build a palm with a harddrive!
I want my ipod killer!
So, I have to 'plug in' my wi-fi. Palm needs to get with the competition and look around. Dell's new offerings may not be as cool as the P1 line but the Palm competitive advantage is being eroded by the feature -packed Pocket PC offerings at cheaper prices. Let's go.
Both leaked specs are interesting but looking at features being introduced in other devices (PPC) surely the high-end T4 needs to include;
- Internal mini hard disk for extra storage
- 640x480 hires colour screen (Toshibas new PPC has it)
- Built-in Bluetooth & Wi-fi
With these features you have greatest flexibility and hopefully a battery can be designed to power it all!
