Surely this must be the Treo 800W.

Back at CES this year, Bill Gates himself (unknowingly) exposed a bombshell for the Windows Mobile Professional market; a fairly believable rendering of the update to Palm's successful Treo 750 - the Treo 800w, or 'Drucker' as it is named in development.

However today, Sprint has done a 'Vodafone Europe' and exposed its new PDA lineup for the next few months; for February it was a Samsung device; for the end of March, it is the BlackBerry Curve; but those are fairly uninteresting devices.

What is interesting is what should be released at the end of April; Palm's EVDO enabled 800w.

The picture tells it all; sorry it's so small. We certainly can't confirm the accuracy of the shot - to us, upon very close inspection, it looks almost like a graphite Treo 680 with a Treo 500 / Centro soft key array tacked on to it. 

However, Treo fans rejoice; this baby has WiFi, and GPS! It's likely that there will be two variants available, as well; with and without a camera, due to increasing corporate camera restrictions.

So - will we see this at the end of April? We shall see.

AT&T, T-Mobile warm up to the Palm Centro

Sprint Nextel's mobile network in the U.S. has been enjoying brisk sales of it's exclusive Palm Centro for a few months now - the Centro costs just $99 and enjoys most Treo-like features, like a full QWERTY keyboard and a touchscreen.

However, Sprint's period of exclusivity is coming to an end soon, and two of the other GSM carriers in the US, AT&T and T-Mobile, have warmed up to the idea of adding the Centro to their lineups.

If T-Mobile were to gain the Centro, it would be the first Palm device on their network in years.

Verizon Wireless may miss out on the 'cheap' Treo after its trouble in securing the top-of-the-line Treo 755 in the past few months.

Could this be the Palm Drucker, aka new Treo 750?

Bill Gates just now delivered his 12th and final keynote at the Consumer Electronics Show - and a device, looking very much like a bulked-up Palm Treo 500 or perhaps a Centro, was flashed behind him with an array of other Windows Mobile devices.

This could certainly be the 'Drucker' we heard all about yesterday - see Smartmobile's post.

Stay tuned for more information when it comes.
