Availability alone is what the Treo Pro has for it. And the Pre is probably going to be superceded by the next best thing before it even comes to market (I hope not; it looks sweet) like the Xperia was. ]]>Jan 11th 2009 8:23PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2009/01/11/palms-treo-pro-spotted-in-sprint-attire/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2009/01/11/palms-treo-pro-spotted-in-sprint-attire/Jan 11th 2009 12:14PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2009/01/11/palms-treo-pro-spotted-in-sprint-attire/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2009/01/11/palms-treo-pro-spotted-in-sprint-attire/WTF? You guys were going ga-ga over the Treo Pro's design like two months ago, but suddenly you've decided to throw it under the bus because now it's not the Pre. The Pro is a far more business-centric device, which is why it's running Windows Mobile, and will be a device of choice by businesses far into the future because it *isn't* running WebOS. You guys make no sense sometimes.]]>Jan 11th 2009 12:56PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2009/01/11/palms-treo-pro-spotted-in-sprint-attire/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2009/01/11/palms-treo-pro-spotted-in-sprint-attire/Jan 11th 2009 1:00PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2009/01/11/palms-treo-pro-spotted-in-sprint-attire/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2009/01/11/palms-treo-pro-spotted-in-sprint-attire/Jan 11th 2009 5:00PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2009/01/11/palms-treo-pro-spotted-in-sprint-attire/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2009/01/11/palms-treo-pro-spotted-in-sprint-attire/Jan 11th 2009 5:56PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2009/01/11/palms-treo-pro-spotted-in-sprint-attire/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2009/01/11/palms-treo-pro-spotted-in-sprint-attire/You are clueless, no one will buy this.
If you want business you get a blackberry or touch pro.
If you want a palm you wait for the Pre.
This thing is late to the showroom floor and will sell under 2000 units.]]>Jan 11th 2009 1:25PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2009/01/11/palms-treo-pro-spotted-in-sprint-attire/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2009/01/11/palms-treo-pro-spotted-in-sprint-attire/
Does anyone know who made WebOS? Was it made by PalmSource or Palm?]]>Jan 11th 2009 1:32PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2009/01/11/palms-treo-pro-spotted-in-sprint-attire/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2009/01/11/palms-treo-pro-spotted-in-sprint-attire/
For thos whare are significantly invested in WM software and either demand removable storage or larger capacities then the Pro is at least equal. Beyond that, the Pro should be available in just a few weeks while the Pre could be more than five months away.

If Palm offers a WebOS Pro through whichever carrier then, I'll agree, we can pity the failed promise of the WM Pro.]]>Jan 11th 2009 9:30PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2009/01/11/palms-treo-pro-spotted-in-sprint-attire/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2009/01/11/palms-treo-pro-spotted-in-sprint-attire/
PalmSource, now Access, made their own mobile OS, called Access Linux Platform. As far as I've heard, their biggest score is a device only released in Russia.]]>Jan 11th 2009 9:36PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2009/01/11/palms-treo-pro-spotted-in-sprint-attire/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2009/01/11/palms-treo-pro-spotted-in-sprint-attire/
You all are idiots.... signs point to "YES" - especially when this will beat the Palm 800 that Sprint has, AS WELL as be a cheaper pricing point for not only consumers but businesses then the PRE will be. DERR!!!!

In an economy like this, Im surprised you all still have money in your pockets to afford First Release technology and pay for the issues that come from owning such. I mean, really think about it.... the PRO isnt that bad, and its a step up, and a cost point lower then a PRE is looking to be.]]>Jan 11th 2009 1:59PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2009/01/11/palms-treo-pro-spotted-in-sprint-attire/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2009/01/11/palms-treo-pro-spotted-in-sprint-attire/
but i think the new webOS should be able to handle most/all enterprise needs. I mean, the Garnet OS had activesync and could handle exchange pretty well.]]>Jan 11th 2009 1:55PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2009/01/11/palms-treo-pro-spotted-in-sprint-attire/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2009/01/11/palms-treo-pro-spotted-in-sprint-attire/Jan 11th 2009 2:05PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2009/01/11/palms-treo-pro-spotted-in-sprint-attire/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2009/01/11/palms-treo-pro-spotted-in-sprint-attire/I'd hate having to flick, scroll, wave and gesture as if having a seziure just to view mail status, todays/future appointments and tasks.
The power of Windows Mobile lays in one button press giving you "at a glance" overview over your entire worklife.
All this UI bling bling and simplification is setting parts of mobile innovation 10 years back, so from a business point of view I'd go for the Palm Pro anyday.
I hope Microsoft don't forget the importance of the todayscreen in WM7.]]>Jan 11th 2009 1:56PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2009/01/11/palms-treo-pro-spotted-in-sprint-attire/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2009/01/11/palms-treo-pro-spotted-in-sprint-attire/Jan 11th 2009 3:45PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2009/01/11/palms-treo-pro-spotted-in-sprint-attire/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2009/01/11/palms-treo-pro-spotted-in-sprint-attire/

That the 800w was barely out of diapers when the Pro was announced was a definite curiosity. Guess we now have our answer.]]>Jan 11th 2009 9:43PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2009/01/11/palms-treo-pro-spotted-in-sprint-attire/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2009/01/11/palms-treo-pro-spotted-in-sprint-attire/
I think the answer to this strange occurrence may be the Rubensteinization that occurred at Palm last year. :-) 800 was old school and Pro is the new.]]>Jan 12th 2009 11:50AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2009/01/11/palms-treo-pro-spotted-in-sprint-attire/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2009/01/11/palms-treo-pro-spotted-in-sprint-attire/
