Palm Pixie/Eos confirmed via leaked webOS ROMWorking off of a leaked copy of the webOS ROM, a few users have discovered some references to a second Palm webOS based device.  It was not that long ago we first saw details of the Palm Eos that is rumored to be on its way to AT&T, and this ROM adds some further evidence to the name.

Going by the codename of Pixie, the references were found in the miniboot.sh file and also included Castle, which is believed to be the codename of the Pre.  So, basically we have a leaked ROM that mentions two codenames.  Overall, it does not mean anything specific, however having those two listed in the initial ROM does suggest that Palm is looking to offer a second webOS based device without much wait.

Additionally, it seems that the leaked ROM was also able to be found in plain sight by simply visiting http://palm.com/ROM.
