Tre Pro hits the Net running
p2pnet news view Mobiles | Advertising:- Has Palm taken a page out of Steve Jobs’ instant-hype marketing hand-book?
When it’s leaked that he changed his underwear, it’s major. Reporters scramble to outdo each other with lurid descriptions of the wonderfulness of whatever it is that’s just been ‘revealed’.
Now news of the much-anticipated Palm Tre Pro has come to light in a, “hidden flash presentation at the company’s site,” says TrePro.net in a post which includes all kinds of images, going on:
“The Treo Pro presentation has been taken down but details are starting to spread across the Internet. It reveals a Windows Mobile 6.1 GSM handset with 3G, a much slimmer body and a flush 320 x 320 touchscreen.”
It also has WiFi and a QWERTY keyboard which, “looks to be a development of that on the Centro, rather than the bowed ‘board of the Treo 800w,” says the story.
WMExperts has details.
The Treo Pro has a 400Mhz CPU , “but snappy response,” says the story, going on:
- 256MB ROM, 128MB RAM! (Other reports show “In use: 43.96mb, Free 57.72mb”)
- 320*320 screen
- GPS
- Full Tri-band 3G, Quad-band GSM
- 2 Megapixel camera
- microUSB connector!
- 3.5mm Earphone connector
- 1500mah battery (this is looking like it might actually be true?)
It continues:
- The battery is pretty much confirmed to be a near-unbelievable-for-this-size 1500 mAh.
- The WiFi switch is over on the side and works exactly as you’d like it to
- There is a decidedly non-Treo-esque power button up on the top, which brings the Treo more in line with traditional Windows Mobile devices.
- Plenty of program memory to work with:
- Storage Memory Total: 103.05mb
- Program Memory Total: 101.18mb
- Program Memory in use (not sure what was running at the time though): 43.96mb
- Free: 57.22
- The Treo Pro includes the HTC Memory Manager. Check out the little drop-down in the upper-right of the today screen.
- Speaking of HTC customizations, it also looks like the Treo sports something very similar to HTC’s wireless manager
- Preinstalled software includes Adobe Reader, Embertec Java for java apps, Telenav, and Sprite Backup.
- The microSD card and reset holes are underneath the battery cover, but you don’t need to remove the battery to access them. It will support microSD cards up to 32gb!
- It has the 800w’s neat screensaver
- LED isn’t all that useful
Now you know.
