NEWS Palm is poised to unveil two new colour handhelds in the near future after details were leaked by a Canadian e-tailer. The handheld manufacturer is expected to replace its high-end Palm m505 with the similarly priced m515 , which will allegedly ship with 16MB of RAM. The other PDA is rumoured to be the m130 and priced around $280, US wires report. Both devices are expected to ship with 16-bit colour screens and a Secure Digital expansion slot. The devices are likely to be unveiled on 4 March. While remaining market leader, Palm has lost ground recently to Compaq and HP's PDA offerings and has been dogged by inventory problems. The company recently separated its hardware and software divisions.
