I dont think they are gonna sell very many of those. Palm has to put out a major update before the year is out on the current Spring Pre. No getting aroudn that or everyone is gonna jump ship.

BTW; Has Palm abandon the Treo line? The Treo Pro is nice, but I think they need to have a Treo with WebOS too.
I don't have any insider information, but I don't think you'll see any new releases from Palm this year. January at CES will the next big stage for Palm.

The Treo brand name could make a comeback, but I doubt it. The new group at Palm is breaking away from Palm's past. I'd love to see a top of the line webOS device under the Treo brand, for nostalgia reasons if nothing else.

Curious to see where they go next year. You've got the Pre and a low-end Pixi. Are we going to see a new third brand? Will that occupy the top of the line above the Pre? Will it be a Pre Pro?
