Just tried it out
It was a pretty nice experience -- with the EVDO network, I was able to call my 700p Treo while the podcast was playing and have the call come through, so I'm not worried about missing calls while using it.
(BTW, I'm speaking for myself here, not Palm... I didn't know about this until I saw it here at PIC.)
