Piper Jaffray wireless hardware analyst T. Michael Walkley has
released a new research report on Palm and the potential impact of the coming of the
iPhone. Walkley says Palm will be the hardest hit by the iPhone and reports on claims that the continued introduction of new Blackberry devices will further hurt sales.
"With the BlackBerry Curve ramping and iPhone launching June 29th at AT&T, we view Treo as the most impacted by these launches and anticipate even further declines in sell through trends." He says clerks at AT&T stores had already reported “frustration” in trying to sell Palm’s "750" series of Treo phones. Moreover, the upcoming introduction of a new model of BlackBerry, the 8830, at Sprint stores, will hurt sales of Palm’s recently introduced Treo 755p model.

Palm has made the Sprint Treo 700p
maintenance release updater available again.
According to Palm only the SD card updater version is being made available at this time, as the Windows Installer's issues are still being investigated. Still no word on the timing for a Verizon release.
After numerous delays, the Sprint 700p Update was originally posted in early June, more than a year after the device's debut. It was removed a few days after due to reports of an installation issue that causes the device to continuously reset when applying the software update.
