A look back on popular stories from today in a specific year.

Only morons buy Windoze devices.
Pierce.
The breaks are there because:
It's a visual thing that works with the post's content. Sigh. The poseurs: always imitating, never innovative.

If it's true, it sucks. If it's not, it's fantastic!

>> "Only morons buy Windoze devices."
Yep. And only fags buy Macs. Communists use Linux. Homos use iPods. And fat Republicans drive Cadillacs. Yes sir, everything in life falls into neat little labeled categories. Facts are for fools! Generalizations rule!
And yes..that WAS sarcasm.
fools! this is for real. even palm execs said in nov 2004, that they are open to the idea of windows on a treo, the pics and videos all look authentic, and I've been using palm for 5yrs now, but win 05 mobile is a much better os than palm is and I can't wait for this to come out. funny I lost my 650 2 weeks ago and I've waiting for the benq p50 but I think I'll wait longer for the 670
something like this would only happen right when i finally break down and get the audiovox smt5600. i wanted a new phone and realized that windows mobile was rather awesome so i finally pull the trigger and now its too late for me to wait and get the 670. damn you palm!
Well.. If it's not a hoax (showing a picture or video of a Windows Mobile in full screen mode) would someone please comment on the fact that the keylock-dialog is _exactly_ the same as on a regular Palm 5 Treo. Wouldn't it be a Windows Mobile dialog???
Just my 2 Cents..
a) Its NOT exactly the same. Its in fact been updated with a clock
AND
b) there is NO WM keylock software as standard on PPC-Phones. Its an OEM responsibility, and they would use their own software.
It only makes it more credible.
Confirmed with internal source (a friend working in Palm) it's a fake ;)
I'd like to see a mobile OSX...any rumours?
1. Keylock with OS 5 look
2. As if the treo wouldn't be multibootable. If datasheets on the Treo's mobile chipset were to be released tomorrow, Linux would get ported ASAP.
3. HTC makes the Treo. HTC also makes Windows Devices. Duh.
4. Woopee doo if we see Cobalt booting. It only proves point 2.
5. Palm taking out a WinCE license will show very clearly on their stockmarket reports of both Palm and MS.
5. Palm will release a Cobalt device long before a Linux one - because they have the Cobalt kit so they can do what they want.

Your pot head buddy from the mail room doesn't qualify as a credible source.
As for the rest of you clowns who say its a fake, hold your treo up to the pic of this 670.
Now use the matching and comparing skills you learned in 1st grade...
EVERY SINGLE BUTTON ON THIS PHONE IS DIFFERENT WHEN COMPARED TO A 650!
Now i know this is hard for you all. It's like the time you came home and caught the neighbor banging your wife. But you will survive this you didn't actually mary the Palm OS.
@ Surur
No. The 650 is a brick too.
Yes. The Q is even bigger (though thinner).

LMAO..... pwn'd

If this is true, it would mean that MS has pretty much monopolized yet another market. That's a very bad thing. It means less choice for consumers, and higher prices once MS has determined that they have no real competition.
whoever asked for some videos of it, i got some. you gotta have quicktime installed for them. here they are:

its for real people. enjoy.
PHug, that's funny... Last time I sat down with an exec at Palm (2 months ago), he responded in a very quiet manor when asked about a Windows Mobile based Treo. He very nicely said, it would be an interesting idea, wouldn't it... Shortly after our meeting, he came up and asked my opinions on wether I thought it would sell well and my impressions of Windows Mobile. Why would a Palm Exec ask me about Windows Mobile? I'm fairly confident this is real. I'm interested to see how long it takes for the GSM version to come out.
Real or not... back and forth.
From this person's perspective, it looks real, but just to be 100% certain, it would be really nice to see this phone, in a video next to a Treo 650, with both phones having some sort of screen interaction.
Maybe this is the reason I held off getting a Treo. I'm hoping for a WM 5.0 Treo.
lol, the third image from top is just nuts. why on earth do one need to activate the os on a phone?
give me the palm os any day over this joke!
I love it! M$ is taking over.
I think this is the real thing because it has a button with the windows logo on it. This is great because I was thinking of getting a Treo sometime but was upset that it didn't use Windows Mobile and now it's like my dreams have come true, so I'm going to wait for the Treo 670 to come out before I get one.
#72, the OS doesn't need to be activated, the phone does. Verizon activates their phones over the air, and you can't use it until they do.
My God. I replaced my Treo 600 with an Audiovox XV6600, but I sorely miss the Treo formfactor. This would give me the best of both worlds, easily. I don't love the square screen, but if it's compatible with most programs, I'll deal. I want it. Now.
Also auf deutsch f?lle.
Das kanns doch nicht sein, wieso zum Teufel sollte Palm jetzt seine Smartphones mit einem Microsoft Betriebssystem ausliefern. Palm OS macht doch gerade Palm aus!
In English:
Unbelieveable, why the hell should Palm Inc. launch a smartphone with a microsoft os running on it. The Palm OS is what represents the company Palm!
Buying a phone is kind of an emotional thing...
There are in deed people who "love" their Palm as their personal, reliable, *PalmOS-driven* digital assistant.
These people will not "break their marriage" to PalmOS and thus will not buy that phone.
I'm couning me in.

I cannot beleive that after numerous hi-res photos and even video footage the Palmiacs are STILL in denial about the Treo 670. It's real and it runs Windows! Deal with it! they've been talking about this for months. None of us should be surprised.
I, as a former Treo 600 and 650 user, welcome the WM5 Treo 670 with open arms. Palm OS sucks, folks. Palm's market share has been in perpetual decline for years. I've used PalmOS for years, while watching Windows Mobile mature with envy, and finally, I'll have my dream smartphone.
The Treo 670 will be THE smartphone of 2006, with or without support from the Palmheads. It might very well be the product that pulls Palm out of the red.
Want PalmOS? Go buy a LifeDrive! For being a "revolutionary" product, they sure discounted it fast!
Folks, i'm pretty sure this is the real thing. Remember Steve Jobs also surprised us when he told us some prototype Mac machines were running on Intel cpu before. I guess this is just the same. I would say this is a good move for Palm. It can sure save the company from the declining sales of palm os devices.
When do you all think it will be available? End of this year? I can not recall how long it was from the time news of the 650 was "leaked" to when it was available...
Guys -
Look at the Windows/OK buttons on this device. Then look at the picture of the HTC/Audiovox Apache.
Notice any similarities? This Treo, like the Verizon RAZR, is a fraud.
FAKE!
I have been a PPC user for years, then converted to Palm with the Treo 650 solely for the form factor and convergence of the unit. I love the one handed operation, but sorely miss running multiple applications. I eagerly await the Treo 670 so I can go back to a faster, multi-tasking unit !!
I have a VZW 650. When i compare it side by side. Every single button is different. The bottom corners are round on the 670 and not on the 650. All 6 hard buttons and the 5-way nav. are different size and shape. My only question is VZW was the last, by far, to cary the 600 and the 650, why would they be the first to carry the 670? Just some thoughts. I hope it is true.
Holy Crap!!! ALL RUMORS NO RELEASE DATE!!!! I've had the TREO 600 for a year now and wouldn't go to 650 since I heard rumors about this 670 in June. But I'm getting tired of the screen on the 600 and even more tired of waiting for the actual release date. All mighty above, WHEN!!!!!!!!!!!!
Would like to know the difference between the 650 and 670?
I have a Dell Axim. Anyone know if all the 2003 Pocket Windows program will work on the 700w?
