Treo 750 Delayed ’til Early-Mid 2007
After the Treo 680 unceremoniously made its appearance (finally) November 24 for $199, you’d expect the Treo 750 to come soon as well. Not quite, as Palm CEO Ed Colligan pointed out yesterday.
Even though Cingular’s eventually going to get the Treo 750, which has been out in Europe for a while, stability problems have pushed the release back into the 3rd quarter of fiscal year ‘07. This means sometime between March 1 to May 30, for those not familiar with the fiscal calendar (Palm’s is off by a month). – Jason Chen
Update: Palm’s Q3 is December ‘06 to Feb ‘07, which means it’s probably coming sooner than we think.

Sync Problems Delays Cingular’s Samsung SYNC Phone
Despite already airing ads on prime time TV for the Samsung SYNC music phone yesterday, Cingular didn’t actually have any available in stores. Why? Because of a manufacturing defect that rendered the phone unable to sync to your computer to load DRM-ed Windows Media files. Oops!
So yes, a phone that’s called the SYNC had problems syncing to Napster and Yahoo Music, despite the support of such technically inclined people as Ludacris, The Pussycat Dolls, and those dudes who dance on the treadmills. Cingular says they expect the SYNC phones to be available today. – Jason Chen
