Palm Canada Announces Canadian Availability of Treo 700p Smartphone

    Demonstrating a commitment to providing mobile
    professionals with a choice of smartphone operating systems, Palm Canada today
    announced the availability of the Palm(R) Treo(TM) 700p smartphone, which
    includes hardware and software innovations centered around usability,
    connectivity, multimedia and compatibility. The Treo 700p, which runs on the
    Palm OS platform, is the latest addition to the Canadian Treo family,
    offering the broadbandlike speed(1)of the EvDO (Evolution Data Optimized)
    network(2).

    As mobility becomes an increasingly important component of business
    productivity, Palm is proud to be a leader in mobile computing. The Treo 700p
    smartphone helps customers better balance their personal and professional
    lives by combining an easy-to-use mobile phone with high-speed wireless data
    access to web, email, and business and multimedia applications.(3)

    “Today’s mobile professionals are demanding better choice and usability,
    both of which are top-of-mind in the development of new smartphones like the
    Treo 700p,” said Michael Moskowitz, president, Americas International, Palm,
    Inc. “The release of this product is a welcome step forward for our dedicated
    installed base of Palm OS customers and a clear validation that we intend to
    continue to focus on multiple platforms for our solutions.”

    Adding a faster data connection to the already efficient Palm OS platform
    speeds email, messaging and large attachment downloads, and dramatically
    enhances the web browsing experience. The speed of EvDO also allows for an
    enjoyable experience when streaming multimedia content, and the Treo 700p
    smartphone ships with Palm Canada’s first built-in streaming application to
    showcase mobile content such as movie clips and audio from radio stations, as
    well as training videos or company communications.
    Treo 700p smartphone users can take advantage of EvDO download speeds on
    their laptop computers by using the new smartphone as a wireless modem via USB
    or Bluetooth(R) wireless technology. This functionality may eliminate the need
    to purchase Wi-Fi or other connectivity services at coffee shops, airports and
    hotels. For the first time on any Canadian Treo product, this capability is
    available out of the box.

    In addition, the Treo 700p smartphone now includes a 1.3-megapixel camera
    and camcorder, offering four times the resolution of a VGA camera. To help
    users organize and share their photos, the new product makes it significantly
    easier to create and manage photo and video albums. Once albums are created,
    Treo 700p smartphone customers can use the slideshow application to add music,
    audio captions and transitions.
    The Palm OS based Treo 700p smartphone includes 128MB of memory (60MB
    user available). By using SD memory cards, currently available with 2GB of
    storage (sold separately), in addition to the 60MB of dedicated user storage,
    users have plenty of room to download and carry important documents and
    multimedia content.
