Palm Treo Pro – Yay or Nay?
Filed Under Technology, Travel
If you are a diehard Palm Treo user or you are simply tied into a wireless carrier other than AT&T (therefore no iPhone option), you will be happy to know Palm has finally announced their latest Treo called the Treo Pro “Coming Soon”.
According to Palm’s website, “The Treo Pro smartphone by Palm is thoughtfully designed for people who define their workday the way they see fit. Respond to business and personal email, stay on top of appointments and contacts, and use Wi-Fi or GPS when you’re out and about. Then watch a video on YouTube, catch up with news and sports on the web, or listen to a few songs. Treo Pro.”
According to Engadget’s website, “The Treo Pro is the first of what is clearly a new design direction for Palm — a shiny, black mutation of the popular Centro coupled with a few lines from the Treo 500 and a dash of the original Xbox thrown in for good measure. Under the hood is the staid and familiar Windows Mobile 6.1, with few changes save for the typical Palm shortcuts and the inclusion of an HTC-licensed task manager. Is this combo powerful enough to lift the smartphone-maker out of the doldrums of its current lineup, or is it just another half-step along the uneven pavement the company has been treading?” Click here for Engadget’s full review.
