I agree with Alex. The OS 6.1 spec should be taken with a bucket of salt. Aside from PalmSource having abandoned development, Palm wouldn't want to take any risks with an all-new OS on their flagship product. WiFi is also unlikely, the carriers wouldn't have it. Remember, some of them initially disabled Bluetooth on the Treo650, and there are still no official drivers for the WiFi SD card. EV-DO makes sense, though, and would be huge improvement. Maybe also a better screen for outdoor viewing? It'd be nice if it had 256Mb (or more) of flash memory.
