I ran an article on Brighthand in early January saying that a Palm spokesperson told me that there wouldn't be a GSM version of the Treo 700w until this summer.
There was one unreliable report that this device would debut on Sprint this month, but most people rejected this.
As for the other rumors about new Treo models, none of these were expected before the second quarter of this year. It wouldn't surprise me at all if these have been bumped back a bit.
On the other hand, this is the sort of thing marketing people are supposed to say. Rumors of un-announced products often cut into sales of current ones.
All I'm trying to say here is, don't sound so shocked at today's report. It might be true, or it might be marketing-speak.
p.s. There won't be an ALP-based device out before mid-2007. There will be several units out from Palm before then.
“The HD2 is a magnificent monster. It is a hulking, intimidating, massive slab of a gadget. If you think the device looks big in photos, it's nothing compared to how it seems up close.”
