(InfoWorld) - Palm denied a recent industry report that its new Foleo mini-notebook would be delayed and said the device was still on target to launch in the U.S. "this summer," or by the end of the third quarter. The company was responding to a report suggesting that bugs in Foleo's software will delay the launch of the device from the end of August to as late as early October. The software bugs are preventing Foleo from correctly synchronizing data with Palm's Treo smartphone, according to a report posted Wednesday on Barron's Tech Trader Daily blog. The report was based on an earlier research note by a Deutsche Bank analyst. Palm unveiled Foleo in May, calling it a 2.5-pound "smartphone companion." The device will initially only be able to sync up with Palm's own Treo smartphones. Foleo allows users to read their office documents more easily on its 10-inch display than on a cramped smartphone screen and type e-mail messages more easily on its full keyboard than on a thumb-operated keypad. Palm insisted on Friday that it was still on track to meet its original shipping schedule for Foleo. "As stated on May 30, U.S. availability for the Palm Foleo mobile companion will begin this summer. We will let you know if this changes," said Jim Christensen, Palm's director of communications. Regardless of when Palm begins to sell the Foleo, any delays to the new product will not have a major impact on company earnings, one analyst said. "This is a minor glitch. If they're a year late, it's a problem, but if they're a couple months late, it's not going to make any difference -- all their money's in the Treos," said Jack Gold, principal analyst at J.Gold Associates. "I'd be more concerned if their new phones were late; then we'd be talking about tens of millions of dollars. But at best it's [Foleo's] going to be a slow burn for them; this thing's not going to take off," said Gold. Even strong sales of its Treo smartphone may not be enough for Palm. On June 28, the company reported a profit of $15.4 million for the fourth quarter,Â a 44 percent drop from its profit a year earlier. In recent years, Palm has been shifting its product portfolio away from PDAs, a market it pioneered, and towards smartphones, which offer potentially much greater profit margins because of their higher price tags. The Foleo represents another step toward larger, more expensive products. But industry skeptics are dubious about its prospects, saying that smartphone owners may be hesitant to carry a second device in their pockets or to pay $499 for Foleo to make existing features easier to use.

Found this  via BoingBoing this morning:  "The new Treo 650 is out today -- and as a long-time fan of the Treo, I've been looking forward to it. I've asked in the past for "one with everything" -- a phone with all the features I could want in one device, without compromises. It looks like PalmOne delivered, with a 320x320 screen, removable battery, upgraded OS, a better camera, and Bluetooth."  "Oops -- not quite! TreoCentral is reporting that the Sprint version of the Treo 650 doesn't allow you to use Bluetooth for dial-up networking through your computer. Apparently other carriers will, but not Sprint."  "You see, Sprint sells connection cards, which are PCCards that allow you to dial up y ...

(InfoWorld) - Details of Palm's new smartphone are emerging ahead of the product's launch on Wednesday. According to details of a scanned advertisement from the Dutch subsidiary of The Phone Shop, which has appeared on numerous blogs, the product is called Palm Treo 500, itÂ uses a standard version of Microsoft's Windows Mobile 6.0 operating system, runs on 3G (third-generation) mobile phone networks, and will be sold byÂ Vodafone Group. Vodafone had an exclusive agreement for theÂ Palm Treo 750v. A source familiar with the launch confirmed details in the ad, including the name of the product, OS, and Vodafone as a carrier partner, but declined to provide further details ahead of the launch. The Treo 500 appears to be targeted at the consumer market and is equipped with the Windows Mobile 6 Standard OS, which doesn't support touch-screen functionality. The lack of this feature and possibly some others could mean that the new smartphone will be priced lower than the Palm Treo 750v, which at â¬500 ($689) has been targeted at business users. In an interview on Monday, Jens Schulte-Bokum, head of the global terminal division at Vodafone, declined to comment on whether Vodafone planned to offer the new Palm smartphone in addition to the Palm Treo 750v, saying only that the operator is "still in discussions with Palm to refresh that lineup."
