We just came across an ominous claim, tossed casually into a PC World article about using the 650 as a laptop replacement. The article states that "according to a Palm spokesperson, no new Palm-based Treos are due before mid 2006."

Surely they're not waiting for ALP. (Which is not due to be delivered until the end of the year.) I think the reason is quite simple: they don't want to cannibalize on sales of the still-new 700w. Plus the 650 works well enough as it is.
