The Treo could also be here very soon too. The Treo 700p never made it here because it's CDMA and that's being fazed out. I may seriously consider buying one if the price/plans are right!

Don't know about others but I seem to be unable to download this podcast when following the link

Directly using www.1src.com/podcasts/1srcpodcast103_5_treo680.mp3 solves the issue

I checked the properties of the provided link and this is what it shows:

Code:

http://www.podtrac.com/pts/redirect.mp3?http://www.1src.com/podcasts/www.1src.com/podcasts/1srcpodcast103_5_treo680.mp3

I think there is a bit too much www.1src.com/podcasts there

I was already wondering where the DC 'pop' was, it took well into 7 minutes before that was clarified No sign yet on European carrier releases ? I only see it is listed in unlocked version. I also received a mail from Palm Europe this morning saying I can order for 499EUR (that's about 600 USD !). A bit expensive I would say ... __________________ Digital since 1980, handheld since 2001 M105 (retired but still working), T\|E (sold) T3.5 + ADAPT BT GPS + Viamichelin 3.2 + Palm WiFi card Treo 680 ánd Treo 500v Happy DateBook6 user

blues Ain't She Wonderful Join Date: Jan 2004 Location: Connecticut Posts: 650	Listening to the podcast now... It's always wonderful news when Palm releases another device with Palm OS installed. I think I'll stick with my 700p, however. __________________ "The reflection upon my situation and that of this army produces many an uneasy hour when all around me are wrapped in sleep.

You are correct, there was an extra www.1src.com/podcasts in the HTML code. I've fixed it and verified that the show will download in iTunes 7.

Jimmie Geddes Registered User Join Date: Aug 2005 Location: Harrison, NJ USA Posts: 469	Great podcast!! I just heard from Palm that they're sending me a Cingular Treo 680 to review I should have it next week, and am looking forward to putting it through the paces. I want to see how it stacks up against my 700p I've read on Treocentral from users who already have them, that the blazer lag is gone. I have the lag on my 700p, so it'll be interesting to see if and when Palm will finally release a firmware upgrade for the 700p. __________________ Jimmie Geddes, Editor http://www.gadgetsonthego.net

Great! Thanks for doing this Jimmie. I'm really curious to see how the 680 performance (lag, Blazer lag, Pocket Tunes skipping with Chatter installed, etc.) compares with the 700P.
