Palm Apparently Still Doing Stuff, Treo 800w Surfaces

I always feel kind of guilty when I take a shot at Palm. They're like the kid at school who is really annoying, but then you found out his parents beat the crap out of him and that why he's so messed up. Since floundering in the last couple of years with their Treo releases, the delay of their own operating system and the whole Foleo fiasco, Palm are working on turning it around with new releases like the Centro (which isn't doing too badly) and the new Treo 800w.

This new Treo looks like it will be bound for CDMA networks, and boasts a rumored spec sheet that includes Windows Mobile 6.1, EV-DO Rev. A, GPS and a 320 x 320 touchscreen. My favourite part of this story is that internally at Palm, the new Treo is known by the codename 'Zepplin'. Why not just call it the Hindenburg, Palm? Oh, the humanity!

And now I feel guilty again.
