Un nouveau Palm sous Microsoft Windows Mobile ?
(Images sous la news ...)
Après le Treo 700W, il semblerait si l'on en croit le site Treonauts qu'un nouveau Palm Treo, nom de code "Hollywood", sortirait avec un système d'exploitation Microsoft Windows Mobile 5.
Une nouvelle plutôt étonnnante de la part d'une société qui s'était forgé son image de marque principalement grâce à son système d'exploitation PalmOS. Expérons cette fois ci que contrairement au Treo 700W, que ce modèle compatible UMTS voit le jour chez nous. Affaire à suivre ...

First REAL Treo Hollywood Pictures! Runs WM5!?!?!
Firstly the good news: here are the very first pictures of the next generation Treo ‘Hollywood’ to have been released.
Although the pictures below are somewhat blurred, as previous rumours indicated this model is considerably ‘slimmer, lighter and slicker’ than both the Treo 650 and Treo 700 plus it also has the benefit of ‘no antenna’ – something which I have personally wanted to see for nearly two years.
The Treo ‘Hollywood’ depicted here looks more like a slimmed down + antenna-less Treo 700. In fact because of the black body and much slimmer profile this model is actually reminiscent of a BlackBerry while still remaining smaller in width.
Now secondly the (relative) bad news: as you can appreciate from the image above this particular ‘Hollywood’ model is NOT running PalmOS but instead Windows Mobile… I’m not going to go into another OS debate but will simply say that today I personally still much prefer the PalmOS even though I fully appreciate that other Treonauts have found their own ‘heaven’ in WM5.
Nonetheless, as Palm’s CEO Ed Colligan has recently [CORRECTED: stated] suggested his company plans to have all its hardware models running both operating systems. Therefore in much the same way that the Treo 700w will be followed by a Treo 700p there is every reason to believe that the ‘Hollywood’ will similarly be released with both flavours. The only question is which OS will be released first.
Although this particular device has no carrier logo the person who posted these pictures has apparently been testing the device on Cingular’s GSM voice network and new UMTS 1900 data network with which he claims to have achieved over 500Kbps broadband 3G speeds – about 10 times current Treo 650 speed over 2G networks.
Hopefully there will be more information and better pictures released soon + a shot of the Treo ‘Hollywood’ running PalmOS please!

Around the same time we believe PALM will launch a Treo 700p running PALM OS on the Sprint network, both devices will keep same form factor and will capitalize on the Treo strong foothold in the US enterprise Market.

“Hollywood” will be a fancier 3G/GSM smartphone which will represent PALM first attempt at the European GSM market. We know the phone will have no external antenna and will probably he launched by Cingular in the US.
“Lowrider” will be a sub-$300 devices utilizing previous generation radios and providing PALM with an entry level PDA.
