Palm says triad of Treos in 2006

What with the quarter about to end it looks like we’re due for some earnings calls — a great place for people like Palm’s Ed Colligan to divulge juicy details to investors and analysts. So what’d he serve up today? Well, apparently besides the Treo 700w shipping “on time in January,” Palm having “78% of the US handheld marketshare,” and adding BlackBerry Connect in early 06 (god willing), Palm’s also got three more buns in the oven. That’s right, they’re expecting three more additions to the Treo family in 2006, which will “implement next-generation radio technologies.” Shocking, right? Well, maybe not so much after those leaks from before about the Lowrider, Hollywood, 700p, and so on. Perhaps you’ll find it a slight bit perturbing that apparently one of said Treos may never see the light of day in the US, and will be destined only for a large international carrier (hmm, who could that be?). Palm, don’t give those babies up for adoption!

Good stuff is on the way. really.

That would be a bad move to not release that slimmer european treo here. Everyone likes smaller and thinner!

78% of the US market share sounds quite large, is this number valid?

This article really should have been called a "Trio of Treos"

we are instered inthe Palm 650 (referb) offered by Cingular (our service provider) as an update phone, apparently due to problems/complaints by early buyers. All I can find out is that the 'referb' is only a software update but the units had to sold as 'referb' since the update. We were wondering if anyone had heard about these 'referb' and if they worked or if they still had problems ?
