Palm's Treo 700p, which is the their first new Palm OS smartphone in a while, will apparentely be released on May 28th by Sprint, according to a poster on the TreoCentral message board.
Evidence cited includes and internal Sprint store document, which the forum member photocopied and posted (see image).
Many have pointed out that May 28th falls on a Saturday; but that could simply be a general time frame not meant to serve as a specific date.
The 700p should run on our old friend Palm OS Garnet (version 5.4.9), which Palm juices up with its own interface and some tweaks.
While platform developer PalmSource continues to support the Palm OS, it will no longer release upgrades, concentrating on the ACCESS Linux Platform (ALP) moving forward.
The 700p, is said to be high-speed EV-DO (400 to 700 kbps) networking.
Additional rumored features include a 312 MHz Intel XScale processor, a 320 x 320 pixel high resolution display, Bluetooth (with dial up networking modem support), about 63 MB of free memory (128 MB total), and a 1.3 megapixel camera.
Palm will possibly also deliver FAT32 driver support with this device, a "fast mode" in the blazer Web browser, and a NVFS dbCache size of 18,431 kb; a first for Palm.
