Ex-rivals Palm and Microsoft have announced a partnership that will result in a Treo smartphone running on Windows Mobile 5.0. Detailed specifications were not disclosed, but the new device will feature Intel processor, color touch screen, QWERTY keyboard, internal camera and SD expansion slot. An early prototype presented at the press conference looked similar to current Treos. Verizon Wireless said that the phone will be commercially available in early 2006.
