Logs Give Evidence of the Slab Phone and Tablet that has a Physical Keyboard?
I tell ya…you guys are hardcore. You can’t be content with just trolling around obscure websites to find every morsel of new device goodness. No, you guys actually troll through the logs. Hardcore man…hardcore.
But! We are glad you are and that you did. Thomas Perraudin is the sleuth in question. He is an active member over at Palmpre-france.com. He found some goodies.
{“ModelName” “(Device)”, “modelNameAscii”: “Device” “platformVersion”: “Nova Dartfish , “platformVersionMajor”: -1, “platformVersionMinor”: -1, “platformVersionDot”: -1, “carrierName”: “Unknown”, “serialNumber”: “5CLED10930″, “screenwidth” 1024, “screenheight”: 768 , “minimumCardWidth” 1024, “minimumCardHeight” 318, “maximumCardWidth” 1024, “maximumCardHeight” 740, “touchableRows”: 14, “keyboardAvailable”: true , “keyboardSlider”: false, “KEYBOARDTYPE”: “”, “wifiAvailable”: true, “bluetoothAvailable”: true, “carrierAvailable”: false, “coreNaviButton”: false “swappableBattery”: false, “dockModeEnabled”: true}
This one shows off a device with a 1024×768 screen. This is the TouchPad. Now look closely…keyboardavailable: true. So does this mean there is a tablet in the work with a keyboard? Hard to say…it isn’t a slider keyboard, so that sounds almost like a laptop. Or it could simply be a reference to the optional keyboard peripheral.
Here is another interesting one:
{“ModelName” “(Device)”, “modelNameAscii”: “Device” “platformVersion”: “3.0.0″ , “platformVersionMajor”: 3, “platformVersionMinor”: 0, “platformVersionDot”: 0, “carrierName” “ATT”, “serialNumber”: “5CLFE40217″, “screenwidth” 320, “screenheight” 480, “minimumCardWidth” 320, “minimumCardHeight”: 30 , “maximumCardWidth” 320, “maximumCardHeight” 452, ” touchableRows “: 8, “keyboardAvailable”: false, “keyboardSlider”: false , “KEYBOARDTYPE”: “Unknown”, “wifiAvailable”: true, “bluetoothAvailable”: true, “carrierAvailable”: true, “coreNaviButton”: false, ” swappableBattery “: false , “dockModeEnabled”: true}
This is a device with:
- no keyboard
- no swappable battery
- resolution of 320 x 480
So this leads us to believe that there is a device out there that is the size of a Palm Pre. Hmmmmmmm………a keyboardless Pre?! We will bite for sure! The part we are not digging is the non-removable battery.
They also snagged a log of the Pre 3 but it really tells us nothing we don’t already know. If you want to take a look at that log as well head on over to PalmPre-France and check it out. In the mean time let the news of these logs marinate in your head for a bit. Feel free to speculate in the comments below.
