Palm Readying New Windows Mobile Treo?

Ryan over at Palm InfoCenter has posted a letter from Palm asking for beta testers for a new Treo, and it is probable it will run Windows Mobile 6.1. Requirements include being a current Sprint customer, having a WiFi router and using bluetooth headphones or a bluetooth car kit. There are not enough details to know if it will be Professional or Standard.

We certainly see lots of requests from beta testers for software, but I don't know that I've seen too many requests in a public way like this for testers of relatively expensive hardware. I am glad Palm is doing this. So many devices come out with a lot of promise, but after a few days of casual use, many users start to pick up on little annoying bugs or issues. Hopefully Palm is going to avoid that with this test.
