For all the crap Palm gets about its lack of innovation, it's still got a pretty loyal fanbase so we imagine some of you will be interested in this tidbit. There are various stories around the blogosphere about a new Windows-based Treo, codenamed "Zeppelin" or otherwise known as the Palm Treo 800w. Among the various rumors, the CDMA smartphone is said to run Windows Mobile 6.1 with support for EV-DO Rev. A, GPS and/or Wi-Fi (varying reports on whether it has one or both radios), and a 320x320 touch screen. Some are saying the Treo 800w will be released about June 22, while others say it will head to Sprint about July. Clearly, it's all a lot of speculation right now, but you can find out what's being said about the device at the various sites below.

Palm doesn't have a loyal fan base anymore. Have you been to the forums? Newbies talk about Treo's as being great PDA's, but that has even changed now with the iPhone. It took Palm 5 years to add these features to a so-called updated Treo. So take a good look at these new features, because they are going to be the only new updates offered for another 5 years. Palm, if you cared about us customers, you wouldn't keep milking the same hardware, under new names, for $599 a pop. Your company is dead.
