Palm has sold the first million units of its Centro low-end smartphone.
The device appears to be reaching a different market to traditional smartphones. A Palm survey carried out in the US found 70 percent of Centro owners were first-time smartphone users, and were more likely than owners of other Palm smartphones to be female, under 35 or with a household income below $US75,000.
In the US, the Centro sells for $US349, or $USS99.99 with a two-year service contract with AT&T or Sprint.
Features include a QWERTY keyboard, 320 x 320 pixel colour touchscreen, EDGE or EvDO data connectivity, a 1.3 megapixel camera, provision for a microSD card of up to 4G capacity, Bluetooth and a raft of applications.
"The Palm Centro is flying off the shelves because users who want to step up to a smartphone see it as the perfect first choice," said Brodie Keast, senior vice president of marketing at Palm.
"It has everything a person needs to stay organized and connected with everyone who is important to them."
The device is available in France, Germany, Hong Kong, India, Ireland, Italy, Singapore, Spain, the United Kingdom and the United States, and will be offered in additional countries.
