Microsoft and Palm, together again for the first time.
Look at it...just look at it! It is an amazing, beautiful piece of technology. In yet another wacky twist in partnerships, Microsoft and Palm have joined forces to bring you the Windows Mobile based Treo700? (at this time the name is yet to be announced) I feel that those who would benefit the most from this little beauty are corporations who use a Windows platform in their business. Now this thing does not hit the shelves until early next year, but let's take a peek at some of the features. Windows Mobile 5 gives you Word Mobile, Excel Mobile, and Powerpoint Mobile. Using Microsoft Active Sync you can receive your tasks, appointments, Outlook emails, and contacts because of the push e-mail support. There is talk of persistent storage memory which would mean your vital data would remain intact even in critical powerloss. The EV-DO network provided by Verizon Wireless will boost download speed to 700Kbps. You can add memory via a slot and many of the same features that the Palm based Treo offered. See a complete review on it at Everything Treo Now guess who will be providing the cellular service for this sweet piece of technology meat? I mentioned it above briefly, Verizon Wireless, giving this provider yet another foothold in the marketshare that could possibly give it the boost to pursue a merge with.......well let's save that for a future post!
