Handspring's New Treo Caters To Carriers
Lots of news about Handspring's new Treo 600 that is designed specifically to attract more carrier interest. Realizing that mobile phone purchasing decisions are often made based on what's directly available from the carrier, Handspring shifted gears recently to make sure their phones were easily customizable from the carrier side. The new device is apparently generating quite a bit of attention, and some are even saying it was the main reason for the Palm merger.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
