Palm's Treo 700p makes a landing in US

Damian Koh | May 16, 2006

Well, it's not here, yet, and Asia-Pacific users may have to stretch their necks out a little bit longer for the GSM version of the Treo 700p to arrive. That is, if it ever does.

Palm has announced the Treo 700p as the second major update (the first was the Treo 700w running on Windows Mobile 5.0) to the Treo lineup for this year. However, Asia-Pacific users can only drool since the current version runs only on CDMA. Like the Treo Hollywood, which is another big question mark, Palm has not indicated whether either models will be making its way to the region.

The Treo 700p comes with several hits and misses. What has improved includes support for streaming media, increased user-accessible memory from 22MB to 60MB, compatibility with Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 and a 320 x 320-resolution display. There's no built-in Wi-Fi support, though, and according to sources on the Web, the SDIO slot on the Treo 700p won't support the wireless connection as well.

While we're at that, perhaps we can add the Treo 700l to Palm's arsenal for 2006--"l" for the Linux system it may run. But that's just pure speculation on our part.

Will Palm Treo 700w and 700p ever reach the shore of singapore? Why doesn't Palm give any updates on news on that? I wonder ..is asia market too small or too insignificance? I wonder.. I'm exasperated by the lack of news on it. Maybe, I should look at other product rather then wait and wait!
