Palm announced the lowball Treo 680 today with a street price of $199, low enough to drive my decision, once I’ve reviewed the specs. The lower-rez 320×320 screen is one issue; the press release elides mention of the OS but the screenshots appear to display Palm OS apps. The device comes with a paltry 64mb on-board memory (twice that of my dearly departed 650) and the release makes no mention of card slots.

So.

Jury’s out, but given a card slot and Palm OS I can’t think of a reason not to fork it out. Updates when I find the true specs.
