There's the iPhone, there's the BlackBerry, and then there's the Treo. Considering how popular the first two have become, Palm Inc has a lot of ground to cover to catch up. Perhaps their new brainchild, the Treo Pro, will give them some momentum. Details about the new Treo Pro in the full article.

It's been a while since we've heard any news about the new Linux-based Palm OS. Those who are waiting for Palm Inc.'s new devices can rest easy (or wait impatiently) as they are scheduled to be released early next year. Details in the full article.

With all the DS accessories and whatnot coming out in the market right now, you gotta give much props to people who still set out to materialize the innovative gaming ideas in their heads. What are we talking about exactly?

Well, here's a nifty stylus which makes touchscreen-poking a lot easier. Sure, you've seen the solid brass stylus, as well as the 18-karat gold one. But while those were really cool, this thumb-stylus innovation would be getting a lotta thumbs up from DS users.

Fellas, check out the "Thylus", the very first stylus you get to wear on your thumbs. Don't own a DS/DS Lite? Well, the Thylus isn't just for DS users y'know. This can also be used on all touchscreen-donning gadgets like your Palm Pilots, GPS touchscreens, and tons more.

I dunno about you guys, but I would take the Thylus over the weird-ass Pokemon stylus anytime. Yours for only US$ 6.00 (plus US$ 2.00 shipping), you can now place your orders by clicking on the read link below.

Palm Inc announced plans to release the new kid on its smartphone block, the Treo 680, with the mobile game Bejeweled from Astraware. Bejeweled was originally developed for Palm OS in 2001 but has been updated to support new devices including Treo smartphones. The latest version of Bejeweled includes full 5-way controls for easy one-handed play.

"As a huge fan of the whole Treo range, I'm thrilled to continue supporting Palm by providing the best games," said Howard Tomlinson, CEO of Astraware. "We receive a lot of feedback from busy people who like to play our games on their Treo smartphones in their spare moments, and Bejeweled is a particular favourite."

In response, Palm Inc said they were just as pleased to work with Astraware. "Bejeweled is perfectly suited to gaming on the move - its one-handed play complements the capabilities of the Treo beautifully," the phone manufacturer said.

We can't afford a Palm Treo 680 but we are happy for them anyway.
