The upcoming Treo Pro has had a somewhat mixed reaction from the gadget blogging world but there is some indication that bigger and better things are still to come from Palm.
Full reviews of the Treo Pro are on hold until next week, but CNet’s Adam Richardson calls it underwhelming mainly focusing on the lack of a larger screen. Meanwhile Matthew Miller at ZDNet seems to like the packaging, the size, and claims the 3G reception is good compared to the iPhone.
Many have complained that the $549 price tag just doesn’t cut it in the post-iPhone market and wmpoweruser.com even came up with a somewhat convoluted method of reducing that price tag.
Anyway, while waiting for the myriad of Treo Pro reviews that will no doubt appear this week I found an interesting article by Brian Chen at wired.com. Quoting Tero Kuittinen, a telecom analyst at Global Crown Capital, Chen muses that the Treo Pro will not be Palm’s saviour but is merely a device to tide them over until Palm unveils a new “revolutionary device” next year.
With Palm hiring Jon Rubinstein (instrumental in the development of the iPod and iMac) as head of research and development, Chen wonders if Rubinstein could lead Palm to introducing the next revolutionary device and finally change their fortune?

The new Palm Treo Pro - finally, a Palm device to get excited about?
Finally, do we have a Palm device to get excited about?
Well, the pictures and specifications suggest that at least we have a new Palm device that can truly compete in the modern smartphone market. This isn’t going to satisfy the Palm purists who still eagerly await a new Palm OS powered device but with a slick new look and tons of goodies (including Wi-Fi, GPS, HSDPA, high resolution 320×320 screen, 2MP camera, WM 6.1 and microSDHC) the new Palm Treo Pro certainly appears to be the best device we’ve seen from Palm since the Handspring Treo 600. Have Palm finally got their finger out? We sure hope so!
Read on for detailed specs and photo gallery.
