Palm has boosted the multimedia technology offered in
its smartphone range with the launch of the Palm Treo
680.

Market research firm In-Stat estimates that 25% of all wireless
handsets worldwide will be smartphones by 2011.
The new phone has a full, “easy-type” keyboard and a 320x320
vibrant colour screen for viewing web pages, photos, and other
media.
The Treo 680 also displays text-messaging conversations as

their entire conversation with a particular person.
The smartphone can also can be used as an MP3 player, and has an
integrated digital camera, camcorder and video player.
