Rumor: Palm will announce the Eos this week to coincide with Fashion Week

TechCrunch is reporting that a source close to Palm has told them Palm will unveil the Eos smartphone this week to coincide with Fashion Week in NYC.

"Palm will unveil its second WebOS phone this week, internally named the “Pixie,” we’ve heard from a source close to the company. The debut will occur as part of Fashion Week in New York.

"As we wrote back in April, the new phone will have the same operating system as the Palm Pre but will be much lower priced ($99). The latest information we have on the hardware specs is here.

As usual, Palm’s timing is odd. Apple is holding a major event tomorrow that will likely focus on new iPod Touch features. The Palm Pre launched just days before the iPhone 3Gs."
