Palm Centro for Sprint Dons New Apparel for the Holidays

Centro Wraps Facebook for Palm, Google Maps and Increased Storage in
Fresh New Colors

SUNNYVALE, Calif., Oct 14, 2008 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- With the holidays just around the corner, Palm, Inc. (Nasdaq:PALM) today announced that the Palm(R) Centro(TM) smartphone for Sprint will be available in two new soft-touch colors -- Olive green and Vibrant rose. With twice the storage, Facebook(R) for Palm(1), and Google Maps with the My Location feature(2) all wrapped up in new colors at a special holiday price -- as low as $79.99(3) -- the Centro for Sprint makes the perfect ready-to-go gift. The new colors will join the popular Onyx black Centro in Sprint's holiday lineup.

"We're seeing fashion designers gravitate toward olive and rose tones, as forecasted in the PANTONE Fashion Color Reports for Fall 2008 and Spring 2009," said Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute(R). "Olive green and Vibrant rose are both strong fashion colors, offering a sense of sophistication and elegance. These hues are classic colors, with the longevity to translate from season to season."

The new rich tones of Olive green and Vibrant rose feature a soft-touch finish that feels smooth and comfortable in the hand. Centro has a sleek, lightweight design with rounded corners, and it's small enough to carry in a pocket -- yet it retains Palm's signature color touch screen and full keyboard, with comfortable gel-soft keys that make typing fast and easy.
