Get Ready for New Palm Handhelds:
Quote:
I've seen some very good indications that Palm intends to release new traditional handhelds this fall. I haven't published anything about this before because I don't know any details and can't reveal where I got the information from.
...
Palm, Inc. has scheduled a press conference on October 12 at the DigitalLife show. It's possible that this will be the venue where Palm will announce its latest handhelds.
...
Why am I so certain? Because Palm still depends on handheld sales for a big percentage of its revenue. Despite the fact that the mobile industry is moving in the direction of smartphones, it will still be some time before things have completely moved in that direction.

I sure hope he's right, but I'm not convinced. That press conference may very well be for the official announcement of the Treo 680 rather than new handhelds.
