The company is responding to customer requests, he said. Sprint currently offers Palm Inc. Treo handhelds running Palm OS."</i><br /><br />It seems Palm is playing all sides as it tries to break new ground into the enterprise market. Last week, <a href="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/articles.php?action=expand,43206">Palm announced the Treo 700w</a>, the Windows Mobile 5 powered Treo that will initially only be available on the Verizon network. This venture with Microsoft was to allow Palm to gain more share in the enterprise space.
