Coming this fall is Palm’s Treo Pro. It’s also the first Treo to support tri-band HSDPA (faster net speed) for 3G access on AT&T and additional carriers. The American launch will start out with an unlocked, carrier-independent version at $549 that’ll feature a sleeker design than previous Treos as well as a touchscreen and a button to quickly switch its built-in WiFi on or off. Forget that slow imitation GPS system too. The Treo Pro uses true GPS for navigation, because we all know how much getting lost sucks.

Now the question is: this or the iPhone?

The funkmasters over at Yanko Design have done it again. Yet another rendering of a wacky product has been thrown up and this time, it draws inspiration from everyone’s favorite phone and a Palm Treo. It has the shape and look of a Treo but the touchscreen and gaudiness of an iPhone. A match made in heaven.

Would you buy it? Not everyone is a fan of the iPhone and there are still diehard Palm fanatics. This seems like a decent compromise of design and functionality that will please everyone. I wonder if you’ll be able to keep your club cards on it…

Only days ago on Christmas Day, millions of people were introduced to new personal electronics, many of which fall under one of the “Big 10″ which includes the Nintendo Wii, Sony PS3 and PSP, ipod Nano, Blackberry, Treo, DELL Notebook Laptop, Motorola and Palm. With the millions of hands now playing with their gadgets, there are millions of people eager to stand out from the crowd by making their gear a little more reflective of their personality. MyTego introduces the water-proof, easy on and off, adhesive skin for electronics. The TEGO skins are fully customizable with any photo, text, or graphic that you want. The Gearfuse LG Chocolate skin (as seen above) is a nice, but totally lazily put together example. Customers can also pick and choose from MyTego’s massive collection of photos. Prices vary between $12 (for a Palm-style phone, 1 face) and $41 (for a PDA, 4 faces) depending on what device you are designing the skin for. — Andrew Dobrow
