The Engadget Review: Palm Treo Pro
29.08.2008 16:28
engadgetmobile.com
Filed under: Features, Reviews The Treo Pro is the first of what is clearly a new design direction for Palm -- a shiny, black mutation of the popular Centro coupled with a few lines from the Treo 500 and a dash of the original Xbox thrown in for good measure. Under the hood is the staid and familiar Windows Mobile 6.1, with few changes save for the typical Palm shortcuts and the inclusion of an HTC-licensed task manager. Is this combo powerful enough to lift the smartphone-maker out of the doldrums of its current lineup, or is it just another half-step along the uneven pavement the company has been treading?

Ron Dzwonkowski: Sarah Palin's pluses

The name of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin bubbled up in the past week or so as a likely choice to be Republican presidential candidate John McCain's running mate, and supposedly knowledgeable political types were immediately dismissive. How could McCain attack Democratic nominee Barack Obama for lack of experience and then choose someone with less than two years on the job running one of the nation's least populous states? (Before that, Pahlin was mayor of Wasilla, Alaska, for six years.) How can someone with such a slim resume possibly be the proverbial "heartbeat away" from the world's most powerful job?
