Treo 700 will be running Magneto?

I found this pic on the net, and I can only hope that will be true. palmOS is dead, so the WinCE is the right decision.

It will be awesome phone, it has everything you need.

There have been rumours for ages of the next Treo device running a Windows Mobile (probably Windows Mobile 5 pocket PC phone edition). Indeed, HTC which makes the Treo also makes virtually all the Windows Pocket PC Phone Edition devices, so it would not be difficult to imagine.

However, I remain skeptical, more so since PalmOne acquired PalmSource. It strikes me that they would be shooting themselves in the foot if they switched to WM5. At the same time, since Palm Cobalt has been put on hold indefinitely, and Palm is currently undergoing the slow and laborious port to Linux, I suppose there could be some appeal in switching to WM.

And correct me if I'm wrong but wouldn't the icons on the soft keys have to change as well?

Thumbs down

Have you nothing better to do besides sit at home Photoshopping a picture? You "found" this pic on the net. How about a link??

I could etch-a-sketch a more realistic picture then that. How stoooopid do you think people are?

You have a wonderful day, Ass!

it's a fake no doubt about it, but yes I like photoshoping images and also dream about devices that would be really cool. Maybe someday Plam will see that and make it real

Palm {hardware} and Palmsource{operating system software} are two seperate and distinct companies. Palm could make a WM5.0 device, and have been on the record saying they are open to any OS that can make their hardware better.

Since there won't be a new Palm OS ready until 2007 {PalmLinux}, moving to WM5.0 on some hardware is a good way to spread the risk out a bit.

Yup is a possibility. The world around Palm is changing and a lot of partnerships can
be seen in the upcoming months.

It's fine to post something for fun...but you lied about it. People that lie about things are called liars. Therefore you are a liar.

Ok guys, there is nothing wrong with NikMan having a little fun. People do this all the time. Dont take it so personally and knock off the name calling.

Man. At least take the screen protector off if you are going to use your 650 as a fake 700!!!!!!!!!

(You can see the edge of it...)

Sad.

Might have been a fake but (http://www.engadget.com/entry/1234000340056198/) it all seems real for the insides.

Personally it seems 'wrong' but it was also wrong when Palm became Palm1 and Source!!!
