More Windows Treo Rumors, Special Guest Star: Dell

lgkp3800_ocr.jpg imageOkay, I’ve got to mention all this ‘Windows on Treo for Dell’ stuff, I guess, because everybody keeps sending it in. My take? I’ll believe it when I see it. What makes the Treo a good phone isn’t just the Palm operating system, but its integration with the user experience of the hardware combined. Although I think PalmOne could engineer an experience using Windows Mobile that is just as potent as its current offerings, I don’t see that the Treo hardware itself is all that amazing. Why would Dell try to get PalmOne to build them a keyboard-based PDA when they could just contract the same people who make their PDAs to do one as well? I have no clue, but I’ve yet to see a compelling argument to convince me that the likes of Dell needs PalmOne more than PalmOne needs new customers to sell their products to.
