Fun fact: the Treo 750 is also called the HTC Cheetah. In addition, you'll notice the Treo 650 has a nice HTC bootloader. Palm hasn't just let HTC take over, they've willingly assisted!
(Yeah, yeah, I know Inventec or whoever makes most of the PalmOS Treos now.)
Any way, since Palm has hit a dead end on their GSM Treos and CDMA will not keep them afloat forever, I agree they're going to have to get creative with the form factors of their products. The Centro and Treo 500v are both a bit, well, fugly. Most people have been quite skeptical about their looks.
So here's what you do, Palm. Take the Centro and 500v innards and in about 6 months, shrink them. Then, hire designers that actually know what they're doing. Make sure their end product is small and looks good. I suggest large amounts of focus groups.
And then pray that you're going to be able to hang on until you finish your new OS.
I suppose an unlocked iPhone'd be cool, especially because my 4G 20GB iPod's in the shop. The free part doesn't hurt either. Don't really see any downsides to this here.
Please, someone stop the neverending deluge of crappy generic Samsung flips! I can't take it any more! Their ubiquity and mediocrity is driving me insane!
"With all the new multitouch capable monitors coming out, which one is the best? With the release of Windows 7 I really want a touchscreen monitor for my desktop. I'm looking to get a Full HD monitor that supports multitouch and can still look great during gaming and movies. Which one has the best specs for the price?"
