whoops. My bad :o For my new apartment, I have my TV just behind my PC, so I now pay even less attention to what I'm doing/posting on the internet now ;)

I imagine that is the whole point of it... dock and play music. Check out the pics - you can see it attaches to both headset jack, and multi-connector. So audio, power and HotSync all in one neat little unit. At the price the speakers wont be Bose quality, but it's nice and neat looking. Might just have to get one as I dont currently have any sort of dock for my Treo.

Nice job Brando!

JLM.

Unlikely it'll fit.

No one would care to spend that much time on an accessory for a DYING segment of the market (PDAs).

Remember, Treos are ALL that we need from henceforth. ALL Palm wants to do is sell Treos, EVERYTHING else by dammmed.

Palm users will eventually RUE the day Palm acquired Handspring and those miserably underpowered Treos. The reason the LD is such a flop and the TX has been met with a YAWN by the market is all because everyone is falling over themselves to jump on the blooody smartphone bandwagon, despite its current limitations.

A Smartphone in 2005/2006 is like an LCD monitor market was up until 2005--it might look nifty but the old tech (dedicated PDAs/CRTs) is still the way to go for those that are SERIOUS about getting work done.

JarJar;

You are likely correct in your assertions on the motives behind Palm's HandSpring acquisition and their reasons to want to continue their shell game/smoke'n mirrors tactics.

However, my basic point remains that Palm's support of their handhelds & new R&D/support spending has been MINIMAL over the past few years. It's not NON-EXISTENT.

I definitely agree on your claim about "...lousy at supporting genuine product development". The Treo 650 is a REHASH. The TX/T|E2/T5 are REHASHES. The Z22 might as well be a rehash of the Zire 21 with a few LD cosmetic touches thrown in. The LD is the only product that looks like any serious $ was thrown at it during its conceptual stages. The saddest part is that FEWER dollars (ie no HardDrive & just a plain ol' 512mb-1gb storage partition ala T5) would have made it a MUCH better unit.

The DEAFENING silence to my concerns with the TX & CDMA Bluetooth phones may be the final straw for me. I am going to go back to my T5 & V710 combo until my phone dies or my VZW contract is up. I will continue to keep an eye on PIC and the usual websites but until someone (Palm, hacker community etc) resolves this issue, I refuse to be Treoized until the POS-based Treo hardware is up to suff. If the Treo 650 IS the final POS Treo then all the better. They (Palm) have dug their own grave.

Duh. Palm just released the LifeDrive, T|X and Z|22. You're smoking crack. :)

It must be a sub wolfer, because there's no way it has a sub woofer! You can't even get audio specifications on it, which are probably 250hz to 12khz or worse.

However, I must say that aside from the claim to produce low frequencies, it does appear to be a pretty cool enhancement. Wish they made one for my phone or T3.
