With the entire 'net buzzing about the Apple, Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL) iPhone, its prospects and release date, and whether or not something will 'kill' said super-mobile computing device, Palm Inc. (NASDAQ: PALM) is showing force with the news that it will announce "a new category of mobile device" at tomorrow's D: All Things Digital conference.

What could the device do that Apple and LG and the rest of the gang haven't thought of? Will the phone/e-mail/wireless internet/camera device offer a Microsoft Office installation so you can edit your PowerPoint slides on the fly? Can you take photos and have them appear on your photostream instantaneously? Will it have the long-awaited blog-from-your-brain attachment (if only!)?

Whatever it is, we'll be reporting it live at 2:30 p.m. EDT tomorrow.
