That looks great but unfortunately it's no proof at all. Too easy to fake.

Looks exciting, but I agree that it's no proof at all. While the screenshots look legit as a possibility for Cobalt, I wouldn't put money on that Treo being real. Even if it was a Treo, I'd wonder if it has the same insides as our 650s.

Well, the photo isn't a fake. I can see barrel distortion in the screen portion and the exposure looks accurate. What they probably did is modify a couble cobaly screenshots and display them with an image viewer on the 650. Here's to hoping it's real.

my close ups suck but here ya go

**darnell** · 04/05/2005, 04:14 PM

What language is that

?

Probably some PS expert will load a pocketPC OS into our Treo 650

It's nice to see everyone here isn't as lazy as me. Nice shots, albeit a bit out of focus.

That's nothing. I have PalmOS X running on mine and you'll never know where I got it.

**SteveDu** · 04/05/2005, 10:13 PM

LOL I never thought of that... yeah lol let's put DOS on our 650s! XD

**skillllllz** · 04/05/2005, 11:24 PM

That's nothing. Look what I can do with my Treo.

**TR30** · 04/06/2005, 02:35 AM

Haha! Me next!

Surprise! Surprise! and the date of the article is April 1, 2005.

**sonson** · 04/06/2005, 09:09 PM

that was good...can I request one with KDE and running Debian?

**grndslm** · 04/06/2005, 11:48 PM

I'd like to request a Gnome theme...and an Ubuntu background image. I'm eatin' that distro all up!

**archie** · 04/15/2005, 06:43 PM

I believe this image is about as real as Ernest Borgnine's performance in that one Muppet Show episode, but does anyone know what the battery icon and antenna reception icon look like when run on the simulator? Do they differ from what should be displayed on an actual handheld device?

**TazUk** · 04/16/2005, 02:42 PM

In the second picture, at the top of the list, it say's WinSockMod, surely that suggests it's running on a Windows PC

It's the best device ever.

6.1 has real multi tasking. So you can goto Blazer and start loading a page then go to Datebook to check some dates, then go back to blazer and have the page loaded and ready to go...

It would bring the Treo/Tungsten/Zire up to par with the Pocket PC's and then some.
