We keep getting sent links to this pic of what is supposedly the "Treo 800" or "Treo 800g". It's reportedly another member of palmOne's smartphone family that runs on Palm OS 5.5.1 and has built-in GPS, a large 320x480 pixel LCD screen, and Bluetooth and WiFi modules (but no keyboard). We're almost 100% certain it's fake (unless someone out there can prove otherwise), so y'all can stop sending it in as a tip.
type in www.treo650.com and you are redirected to the PalmOne website -> true
type in www.treo800.com and you go nowhere -> false
This seems to be the work of a guy named Pat Horne. Just google "Treo 800g" and look at the number of times he plugs it, from http://www.palminfocenter.com/view_story.asp?ID=7073 (2nd comment) to http://handhelds.engadget.com/entry/2093445122377544 (4th comment) to http://www.pdalive.com/forums/printthread.php?threadid=6966 and more, all while linking back to his "Church of Living Faith" website.
too bad - it would be kind of cool - no keyboard - i prefer the pen - larger screen - no antenna getting stuck in my jacket
type in http://www.iphone.org/ and see where you go.
