After much speculation and leaked images of Palm’s Treo Pro, it’s finally been announced. The Treo Pro not only sports a unique (‘n sleek) design, but it also has a large array of desirable features:
- 400MHz Qualcomm processor
- 320 x 320 Touchscreen TFT display
- 256 MB of built in memory
- Micro SD card expansion slot (for up to 32GB of storage)
- Built in GPS
- Wi-Fi
The Pro also runs on Microsoft’s Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional Edition and has a 2 megapixel camera. The best part is the phone comes unlocked, so you can pop in your current SIM card and avoid setup hassles! Costs $549 without a contract, but should be much less with one. Looks like it will be a prime competitor to BlackBerry. More pictures on the offical Palm website.
Here’s a video of the Pro in action:

All’s I gotta say is thank god I don’t own any Palm stock. This video doesn’t verge on self-parody — it IS self parody.
Come on — boring head shots of three doughy, middle-aged guys? If this video weren’t so amusingly bad, these guys would make me really depressed.
A “tsunami of great experience” – hilarious! Guys, guys,guys — who made this video? In whose basement? ROFL…
