treo

how exciting! i just got a new toy, a PalmOne Treo 650. it’s a CDMA dual-band digital phone, a PDA running Palm OS 5.4 with 23M & a Intel PXA270 proc @ 321MHz, has a 320×320 TFT screen displaying 16bit color, accepts SD/SDIO/MMC cards, plays MP3′s, has a VGA camera with 2X zoom that can also capture video, has a full QWERTY keyboard & num pad, has speakerphone functionality, wireless email, wireless web, text & picture messaging, gpsOne support, 5 hr TT/2 weeks SB, stereo out, and infrared & bluetooth connectivity, all in a 4.4 x 2.3 x 0.9 in / 6.3 oz package!
now i just need to sync up all my old info from my handspring, which by the way, was running what I call the “beta” version of the treo (beta because of firmware issues that weren’t resolved after RTS, because of dropped support). it was a Visor with the Sprint Digital DataLink Module. i also need to go get a 1G SD card & a bluetooth headset.
one of my next projects is setup the treo to connect to my home VPN and use PalmVNC, which is open SRC for those who care about that ;)

    Very cool. I’ve been interested in getting one, mainly to have once less thing to carry instead of a phone and PDA. How is the image quality from the camera, my Zire72 is pretty bad.

    i will soon have some weather and entomologic pics to share with you. it is so much better than carrying a PDA, phone, camera, and mp3 player around!
