Info about Palm Treo Pro leaked
August 15, 2008 [Pocket PC phone] | By Edward J. R.
By mistake (?) Palm has leaked a Flash presentation at learning.palm.com (by now: removed already), a presentation that revealed existence of Palm Treo Pro, probably a GSM phone that Palm will soon release:
Some certain (covered in that presentation) highlights about Palm Treo Pro:
- form factor: typical Treo, i.e. front facing QWERTY keyboard and square display with touch-screen (not specified but resolution probably is 320x320)
- WiFi, including WiFi button
- microSD card slot
- microUSB connector
- standard 3.5 mm stereo miniplug - something that iPhone 3G has but also something, that HTC fails to understand
Not much more is known about this phone but one can assume that it will have also 3G (UMTS/HSDPA) and Bluetooth (2.0). Palm is developing its own mobile operating system based on Linux - Nova - but since it is not ready yet, Palm has to release new models to keep up with competition at least a little bit, so they are using Windows Mobile. However nowadays, in the era of iPhone, people expect bigger displays and higher resolution and it is regrettable that Palm uses small display (2.4 inch) of small resolution (320x320 probably) even though Windows Mobile would allow for 480x480 for square screens and up to 800x480 for other displays...
