Palm Inc. is set to launch the Treo 700, a new Treo smartphone that will feature Windows Mobile 5.0 software. The Launch of the Treo 700w marks the first time the handheld computer pioneer will sell a device based on its former rival's software.
The new Treo 700 will be offered through Verizon Wireless, according to market analyst Rob Enderle and other industry sources.
The three companies have scheduled a press conference for Monday. Spokesmen for Palm, Verizon Wireless and Microsoft declined to comment.
The new device will run on Windows Mobile 5.0, the latest version of the operating system that has been challenging Palm OS for years.
Rumors have circulated for months that Palm was ready to embrace a Windows platform. Palm spent years trying to fend off Microsoft's forays into the sector.
