From The Register (emphasis mine):

The piccies reveal it does indeed integrate Wi-Fi wireless networking. It clearly runs the Palm OS. Well, not quite. According to the page, it was posted not by PalmOne or Amazon.com, but by an affiliate seller. So the possibility remains that it's all nonsense. Certainly the units alleged dimensions: 16.3 x 16.3 x 10cm are wrong, simply on the basis of the half-a-dozen pictures included.

Btw, nobody here questioned the high price tag yet. Is it just me or does $500 sound like a lot for a PDA nowadays? It's 50% more expansive than Dell's top-of-the-line Axim X50v Pocket PC.
