Since its release in January 2006, the main criticism with the
Treo 700w has been regarding its paltry amount of RAM.
Pocket PC Techs, a 3rd party repair/upgrade company, is trying to address this issue for Verizon users stymied by their devices' memory constraints. The hope is that a lifted
700wx ROM will permit the 700w's OS to recognize the additional memory.

Lost amidst Thursday's hoopla over the launch of the new
Treo 680 was a statement by Palm CEO Ed Colligan after the press conference. Colligan emphatically told a Reuters reporter that the company is not currently for sale nor had they made any overtures to find a buyer. He did not delve into further details but merely stressed that Palm intends to follow their current plan of action at expanding the Treo smartphone's foothold in the market.
Chief Executive Ed Colligan said speculation that Palm might be a takeover target had likely swelled because the company's stock price, well-known brand and solid cash position have created a perception that it is a "good value."
"The company is not for sale," he said. "We have not been out pursuing (a deal). Our strategy is to execute against our plan."

The Palm Treo’s rather strong multimedia features and high-resolution would seem a natural fit for high-quality streaming audio and video Until now, most of the solutions available across various platforms were either lacking technically or sadly lacking in content.

Reuters is
reporting that earlier this week when a single-engine plane crashed into a New York City apartment building, Fox News Channel delivered early live video to its viewers from the crash site shot using a Palm Treo.
Scott Wilder, a cameraman for the network, had been about 20 blocks away on another assignment when the crash occurred. Wilder ran uptown and reported live from the scene using a hand-held Palm Treo smartphone that uses the existing mobile network to transmit video to the Fox News control room. From there, Fox News sent it out live on TV to supplement other video being shot by local traffic helicopters. Wilder's work represents one of the first instances of a network using video captured via mobile phone camera live on the air.
