Palm has unveiled two new brands, splitting its range between Tungsten enterprise and professional solutions and Zire products for consumers. The company did not announce any new devices today, but is thought to be planning the October release of Tungsten T, a high end business handheld; Tungsten W, a GPRS smartphone; and Zire, a consumer PDA.
The first product to use the Tungsten brand will be the Mobile Information Management Solution (MIMS). This comprises server software for the secure delivery of e-mail, PIM and office documents, wireless access through Palm.Net and the i705 and m500 handhelds. It is an evolution of Palm’s existing Wireless Messaging Solution, built using technology developed by ThinAirApps, which it acquired December 2001.
