Seattle PI | at | by Mike
Palm's long-awaited Treo smartphone based on Microsoft's Windows mobile platform - the handheld maker's latest weapon to boost sales among business users - has arrived.
The Treo 700w, which will be available on the Verizon Wireless cellular service starting Thursday, also integrates access to Verizon's high-speed EV-DO data network.
While the original Treos - based on the Palm operating system - helped define the smartphone category, Sunnyvale, Calif.-based Palm hopes the new Windows-based model will expand its reach into the lucrative market of corporate users.
