The Palm Centro is the more compact model in Palm's line of smartphones. However, its small size doesn't mean it's lacking in features. With Internet access, texting, video camera, MP3 player, it has everything many consumers are looking for in a smartphone. Unfortunately, the one feature it doesn't come equipped with is GPS.
