Last week, we reported that a new Palm device, the Mansion, was in the works. The device was slated as the follow-up to the Palm Pre and would feature a touchscreen-only form factor, webOS 2.0, and a 800 x 480 resolution screen.

Things on the Mansion front got a little interesting yesterday, when the French carrier SFR posted photos and specs of the Palm Pre 2 on its website. While it looked like the carrier would be leaving the info up, the webpage is no longer available, casting some doubt on the credence of the information. Regardless, plenty of blogs got to it in time to document what SFR claimed was to be the new device from Palm. 

According to Precentral, we can expect a 1 GHz processor (possibly the TI OMAP 3630), 512MB of RAM, webOS 2.0 (which supposedly means half the boot time), and higher quality materials. The Pre 2 sports the same design as the current Pre with the touchscreen and slide-up QWERTY keyboard, which means that the Mansion is possibly a completely different Palm device. This assertion is further boosted by the fact that SFR listed the codename for the Palm 2 as "Roadrunner".

No mention of pricing or availability was made.

In other non-Windows Phone 7 news, AndroidCentral has gotten tips that a number of users still on Android 2.1 -- and even 1.6 -- received a software upgrade over the weekend (meaning no prompt to download and install) that updated the Android market. The updated market boasts a sleeker interface, the ability to update all apps, and allows automatic app updates. If you see the new market but never upgraded to Froyo, well, here's hoping you'll be able to update to Froyo soon. Until then, enjoy the added functionality of the market.
