Palm Treo

Palm, Inc., an innovator in mobile and wireless internet solutions, was founded in 1992. In 1996, Palm introduced the Pilot 1000 and the Pilot 5000, which started the handheld PDA revolution. Today, Palm remains a leader in the industry, with "Palm Pilot" almost synonymous with "PDA" in the minds of many consumers.

Palm has branched out into making what are known as smartphones. A smartphone combines the organizing capabilities of a PDA with a cellular phone. Smartphones are almost essential in the modern business world, and they are ideal products for any people whose hectic lifestyles require them to be on the move more than they stay still.

Palm's foray into the smartphone industry, the Treo, comes in a compact, easy-to-use package. The Palm Treo combines internet access, email, a personal organizer, and a powerful cell phone, all in a device about the same size as a regular cell phone. Palm has specifically designed its Treos to be intuitive and easy to use. Palm is, after all, the company that helped to revolutionize the market for handheld devices; it only makes sense that when Palm made a smartphone, it made one of the best.

Any good smartphone--the Palm Treo included--meets two basic yet necessary requirements. First, how well does the phone work, and second, how well does the PDA work? Palm has been a leader in PDA the field for years now, so this component of the Treo has received quite a bit of positive feedback from users. But the good news is the phone also works wonderfully. It gets good reception, and the Palm Treo can be used with several different cellular providers.
