We’ve seen it officially unveiled in Europe, and now it’s ready for the U.S. market. Yes, I’m talking about Palm’s latest Windows Mobile Standard edition based Treo 500v, which will be carried by either AT&T or T-Mobile, or both — that’s in case Palm doesn’t suddenly decides to change the built-in GSM radio. Interesting thing to note about Palm’s FCC filing, is that this Treo device was NOT manufactured by one of the company’s earlier partners such as HTC, Foxconn, or Inventec; but by Taiwan-based Asus. Were they more affordable or what? I can see why they’re shying away from HTC which is now of Palm’s fiercest competitors, but a fresh ODM relationship also doesn’t make sense. Who knows what they’re planning…
