Is this the new Windows Treo?

John Chan | Oct 24, 2007

The designs of the Treo 500v and Palm Centro are quite different from the previous lineup, including the Treo 750 and Treo 680 PDA-phones. It's therefore not far-fetched to imagine that Palm will introduce a new Windows Mobile device to succeed the 750 and in a new form factor, too. Well, over at the TreoCentral forums, someone claims to have seen the new 800w (second from left in image), a device meant for use on CDMA networks.

According to the source, the new Treo will run Windows Mobile 6 Professional, has a proprietary connector (yucks) and, get this, will come with built-in Wi-Fi. If that is true, it will finally mark the end of Palm's dogged stubbornness not to include Wi-Fi in its PDA-phones.

Even if the 800w is real, a CDMA is useless for our region. But going by Palm's pattern, a GSM version will follow. It's all speculation now, so let's wait and see how it pans out.
