It’s alive, the Palm Treo 700p
Palm Treo 700p is coming together in photos. What is the P? Well, its Palm, sad as it seems. This photo was leaked at TreoCentral and picked up by Engadget yesterday. I chose not to run the story since I wasn’t too sure this one had legs. Today, Engadget reports that a Treo Expert named “Shadowmite” confirms that these are legit photos. So without delay, here is the Treo 700p.
Another day, another guy taking pics of his Treo 700p. Yes, but this might just be true. A TreoCentral forums user posted two images of the Palm Treo 700p which will supposedly be shipping from Sprint.
Is it real? Is it a Photoshop? We’ll let you decide, but this image of what Treocentral forums user Merlyn 3D is claiming to be the Treo 700p (that’d be the supposedly forthcoming PalmOS-based version of the Treo 700 series) was apparently snapped some time earlier today. Based on the other shot Merlyn posted, this device (if it is, in fact, real) runs PalmOS Garnet 5.4.9, which means if this thing has EV-DO support (which it damn well better) PalmSource must have done some serious work under the hood.
“Anyway, we’re still waiting for a few new choice pics, but in the meantime in some specs are making the rounds, and the new Treo 700p, which will supposedly be available from Sprint in April, will have a 312MHz processor, Palm OS 5.4.9, EV-DO, 1.3 megapixel digital camera, a 320 x 320 pixel display, and Bluetooth (they’re not sure whether it’s Bluetooth 1.2 or not).”
Reading deeper into this, the person with this phone has worked with Shadowmite to download the ROM off of it and confirmed it was running Palm’s latest OS, Garnet. They are hacking a phone that’s not even annouced yet, AMAZING.
eatures include a large 320×320 screen, 1.3 megapixel camera, Sprint TV, Docs to Go 8 Blazer 4.5, pTunes and EVDO. The Treo 700p also features Palm OS 5.4.9 and 62.8MB of free space to install programs. Images available below.
