Techneos could have a whole new meaning...

There was a lot of buzz yesterday about a new Palm device called the "Eos" being released in Q3. This device is rumoured to be Palm's replacement for the popular Centro line, which will run on the new webOS that we have blogged about previously.

The name Techneos was created from the Greek words "Techne" and "Eos". "Techne", which is the root of terms like "technology" and "technique", is often described as craftsmanship, craft or art. "Eos" is, in Greek mythology, the goddess of the dawn.  The combined word, Techneos, was formed to denote the dawning of new techniques or processes.

We hope this rumour is true, because it would be really fun to see mobile surveys running on Techneos software using an Eos device.

Stay tuned for more on this topic. We are already hard at work making sure that Entryware software runs effectively on webOS devices, starting with the Pre, which is expected to be released within the next two months.

This image of the rumoured device was found on Engadget:
