Man, this thing just gets uglier every time we see it. This here is apparently the very latest, piping hot batch of blurry shots of the Palm Gandolf, the multifaceted new platform that Palm appears to be readying in both Garnet and Windows Mobile flavors with the carrier’s choice of either GSM or CDMA under the hood. Unfortunately, it doesn’t appear to be getting any prettier as it gets closer to an official debut — quite the opposite, actually, and the keyboard is said to be a good deal smaller than its predecessors’, eliminating one of Palm’s few remaining talking points for the Treo line. The device is now rumored to be taking on the “800″ moniker, a move which appears to call this out as being the Treo line’s new king of the hill. Anyone else think this abomination of industrial design looks more like a “500″ at best?



Japan’s Dospara doesn’t look to be trying too hard to conceal the source of its latest laptop, with the MSI logo prominently displayed on the lid of its new Prime Note Galleria, and just barely visible below the screen above. Cross-branding issues aside, the laptop certainly looks like it’ll get the job done, boasting a 17-inch 1680 x 1050 display, Core 2 Duo T7300 processor, 2GB of RAM, a 160GB hard drive and, perhaps most notably, GeForce 8600 GT graphics. Of course, all that comes at the expense of an eight pound carrying weight, but if that’s not too off-putting, you can grab one now for just under ¥200,000 (or roughly $1,700).
