Treo Running Windows Mobile
http://www.engadget.com/entry/1234000840053340/
"Dudes, we were skeptical, but now we�re convinced: roc a fella himself just emailed us a video of a Treo 670 running on Windows Mobile. Yeah, it�s a little blurry, but there�s no mistaking that this the real deal. Everything just got very interesting."
There is a video at the site that requires Quicktime. Very cool. 8) If this is a mockup or trickery of some sort, it is very well done. I think that this is more likely real though. No one wants PalmOS6, aka Cobalt and PalmOS5, aka Garnet, has been hacked up over the years to accomplish things it wasn't meant to do. Remember, OS5 was supposed to be an intermediate stepping stone from the old OS4 kernel to the new full 32bit ARM kernel. It is getting long in the tooth.
Palm, Inc. is doing the right thing - rather than be religious about the operating system they are going platform agnostic and trying to deliver the best device to the user.

Linked from that thread is a HowardForums post with a high-res screenshot of part of the screen... http://howardforums.com/showthread.php?t=695760
If it's on Verizon and supports EV-DO, this may be my next Pocket PC. My contract should be up in a few months. 8)
Edit: This seems to be the definitive thread the guy is posting pics on: http://howardforums.com/showthread.p...ge=1&pp=15 -- there is a very blurry About pic on the third page, but he's planning to post more. Coolness.

Yeah a good friend of mine uses a Treo and it's awsome. If it is true then I'll be able to do exactly the same thing. My friend wanted to go to the PPC but couldn't leave the Treo and datebook and I wanted the Treo but couldn't leave the PPC world. Now that Backupbuddy has come to the PPC I wonder if and when DateBook will follow suit. When it does then I know a lot of people will jump ship and I'll finally buy a smartphone :mrgreen:

Re: Treo Running Windows Mobile
If this treo has built-in Wi-Fi and display 320x320 pixels or more, then I like it!
do you know whether it has built-in Wi-Fi and what resolution is the display?

Look at this secret screen capture of the future Pocketpcthoughts forum I've discovered in an open directory. It only available to subscribers.
