A new phone from Palm called the Palm Eos is likely to debut on the AT&T network, as per Engadget. Palm Eos will run webOS, the new operating system first shown on the Palm Pre earlier this year.

The Eos will have a keyboard mounted on the front, below its 2.6-inch, 320-by-400-pixel, capacitive touchscreen. According to a leaked list of specifications, this device will have 4 GB of internal storage rather than a removable memory card slot. Other features will include GPS, a 2 MPx camera, and a 1150 mAh battery, giving it up to 4 hours of talk time.

It will reportedly be the second running Palm’s webOS, a multi-tasking operating system able to wirelessly synchronize a wide variety of data with online services like Google, Facebook, and Microsoft Exchange. It will come with a highly-capable web browser, email software, and multimedia player. Additional third-party applications will also be available.

Sprint’s version of the Eos will reportedly include the mobile broadband standard EV-DO Rev A, while AT&T’s will be a quad-band GSM phone with 3G (HSDPA).

The Palm Eos  will be noticeably slimmer than the Palm Pre because it won’t use its predecessor’s sliding keyboard design. Overall. it will be 4.4 inches tall, 2.2 inches wide, and 0.4 inches thick  (111mm x 55mm x 10.6mm).
