Just announced: Palm Treo 680

Reuben Lee | Oct 13, 2006

At a US launch event held recently, Palm introduced what it claimed is a low-cost version of its PDA-phone called the Treo 680. While pricing and Asian availability details are still sketchy at the moment, the new handheld is expected to be priced competitively to appeal to a wider audience, according to company CEO Ed Colligan.

From the product images, it seems the Treo 680 will sport a similar non-antenna design as the recently launched Treo 750v, complete with a familiar QWERTY keypad and a higher-resolution (320 x 320-pixel) touchscreen display. According to specifications listed on the Palm Web site, the quadband PDA-phone, which runs on Palm OS 5.4.9, will also come with a Bluetooth, a VGA camera, speakerphone and SD/MMC card expansion slot. In a nod to the need for more variety, the Treo 680 will be sold in four different colors: Graphite, copper, arctic and crimson.
