PalmOne calls on school leaders to get organized with latest smartphone

Handheld computing leader palmOne has introduced the latest member of its Treo “smartphone” family, the Treo 650. The device combines a compact, full-featured mobile phone with an organizer, text-messaging capabilities, and eMail and web access. “Today’s school administrators live and work in a mobile society and need to be productive while on the go without sacrificing access to important school and personal data,” said a company spokesman. With features such as Calendar, Contacts, Tasks, and Memos, the Treo 650 helps administrators and teachers organize and simplify their school and personal lives, while also staying connected from wherever they are, the palmOne spokesman said.
