The FCC information on the not-yet-announced Treo 300 has been updated to include external photographs. -Ed

Botzam has released a beta edition of Botzam Recorder, which lets users customize their handhelds by recording macros. These are sequences of commonly repeated taps that can be played back at the touch of one button. The beta version will be free for a limited time. The company has also released Botzam MIDIplay, which allows users to store Midi files on an expansion card or RAM and play them back through the speaker. It is freeware. -PR

The Palm Business Book is specifically targeted to the business user. It is patterned after cookbooks. It has 'recipes' for how to get a handheld to help with time management, goal setting, sales, work flow, etc. There are also chapters for particular occupations like sales people, managers, IT professionals, home makers, students, teachers and more. The book will be available in September. -PR

Palm handhelds have been named the "Best Overall Handheld Device for Education" and the Palm OS platform has been named "Best Handheld Platform for Education" by eSchool News in its annual Readers' Choice awards announced this month. eSchool News is read by more than 150,000 school administrators and technology professionals. -PR

EEEEK! Please tell me that it will be available in colors other than metalic gold. :-(

Othan that, I believe that this is going to be a great device for a significant number of people.

I saw the 270 yesterday at COMDEX in Toronto.. there's a company.. Zero Gravity Wireless :

They offer it now in Canada, leasing the microcell network and offering push solutions.

GPRS will be added in October

Sorry, I posted before I got to my point.. The colour is not gold. It's sorta shiny bronzeish.. it's acutally very nice. Just wish they didn't have blue buttons.. does not match.

Bronzeish. Interesting. I thought that's how the 90's coloring was described. And the pictures I've seen of the 300 look very silvery. Oh well, whatever...

No pictures

I got a retrieve.cgi file instead. Nice but no pictures. If it's metallic gold, no thanks, we're not in the 80's.

Treo 300?

What about the Treo 300, Ed? It's in the headline, but you didn't say anything about it in the story.

Nevermind. Am I going nuts, or did it just appear?!

How about posting the new photos here, as a reader service? ;-)

Pictures of it look pretty nice. I'm still no fan of the treo, but the images of it in the belt clip look real smooth.

It's definitely phone looking in that context - somehting that i never really got just looking at the device by itself.

Don't worry about the gold color

The FCC filings for the Treo 270 show it in that same weak metallic gold color, but it's actually silver. To summarize, the Treo 300 will be almost exactly like the Treo 270, except it'll work only with the forthcoming Sprint PCS 3G network.
