Palm Treo 680 too expensive in the Philippines

Just a quickie here. I know that most of my readers come from the USA but it is just so frustrating to note that the Treo 680 had been launched as the “Treo for the masses” with a lower price point and all. However, because of shipping costs and channel markups, the Treo is retailing […]

Palm Treo 680 First Impressions

Rico from The Smart PDA has his hands on a Treo 680. We’ve been on a huge debate as to what our next smartphone would be. I have my bets on the O2 Stealth which I will show off tomorrow while Rico still has his heart for the Treo 680.

The newest Treo is lighter, thinner […]

Release thoughts: Palm Treo 680

Palm recently launched the Treo 680, which is the first line of Treos smartphones to come in several colors including graphite, arctic, copper and crimson.
Specs do not impress
If we were to run down the specs of the Treo 680, the only notable improvements would be an increased internal memory size and the shaving off of […]

Black Tie Treo 650

Argh! I can finally let it all out. I’ve been in an “informal NDA” to promise not to post anything about the black Treo 650 for several days now. So finally, we welcome the new anniversary special Black Tie Edition of the world’s best smartphone.
It is quite expected for Palm to come up with an […]

Treo 650 camera self timer

This article came out less than a month ago on TreoCentral and its pretty neat because the “elusive self timer” allows an audio cue to guide your mental counting. This way you don’t have to count to ten in your head. Just let the custom ringtone of the Treo help you out - you […]

10 Years of Palm

I’m quite surprised that on its 10th year, Palm hasn’t announced anything big. Maybe I’ve gotten too used to big keynote speeches whenever Apple celebrates something. But then again, one decade of the inventors of the personal digital assistant should at least force you to launch something — anything!
Rumors are that the next product launch […]

The Palm Treo 800p thing…

A few days ago, now infamous Slinky had the virtual beating of his life where he was flammed and eventually banned after posting bogus info on Palm’s alleged Treo 800p.
It took a while for people to figure it out - much faster for most because the whole thing looked too unsound to be true.

Redesigning the Palm OS GUI

The past several years has put Palm (well, the company formerly known as pa1mOne, formerly known as Palm) on a comfortable pedestal because they have successfully claimed the rights to the easiest GUI (graphical user interface, or the stuff you see on screen) to figure out.

Palm used to hire a ‘tap guy’ - his job […]
