How to listen

News

7550p announced and reviewed. Be sure to listen in for excerpt from our interview with 755p Product Manager Rob Katcher, there are some interesting observations in there about the lack of a phone app, Dial-up Networking (aka "Phone as Modem"), why the 755p's specs are identical to the 700p's, and the 700p lag issue.
mypalm.com is Palm's new support site and it's pretty nice. Check out Jennifer Chappell's write up.
From Annie Latham's Talkin' Treo Column on Friday: some people have noticed Palm's 680 campaign and it's going well:
As for sales, it's still too early to tell. But perhaps one of the benefits of doing a cutting edge campaign is that the brand is then perceived as cutting edge, as well. According to Hancock, the campaign increased awareness of the brand by double digits. "Palm continues to be seen as innovative, intelligent and creative," he said. "This campaign supported those attributes."
Palm Desktop on Vista: still not compatible, but there's simple installer available now
A quick note not mentioned in the podcast: the Palm Blog has a new post up detailing one method for listening to podcasts on a PalmOS Treo My preferred method is still to utilize our voiceindigo feed
