Portable Technology: Getting to Know the Treo
Up until the recent past, those who wanted to take
advantage of a mobile phone, data organizer, wireless
e-mail with text messaging, web browsing and a digital
camera had to have separate units for each. With today's
technology comes the Treo ? offering all of those features
in one small hand-held unit. These pocket-sized marvels
even offer a fully functional standard keyboard, enabling
users to fulfill all of their communication needs as they
would from the PC at work or home. Best of all, it's
incredibly easy to use! The Treo offers a wide range of accessories and software
that will help to customize and enhance your hand-held
experience. Among these are cradles, cables, cases, belt
clips, car kits, headsets, headphones, SD/MMC cards,
e-books, games, specialized ring tones and travel software.
While these are add-ons, there's also a wide variety of
built-in features, which include a To Do List, Memo Pad,
Advanced Calculator, CityTime World Clock, desktop
synchronization for Windows or Mac and calendar, to name a
few. Starting ? in some cases ? at $299, this portable
communications center is well worth the price, and is
compatible with a number of different phone carriers.
Utilizing an infrared communications port and a
touch-screen with stylus, the Treo holds features that will
entice virtually every consumer. The possibilities are
practically limitless, when you consider the variety of
software options that are available (these, of course, will
have to be purchased separately). Some of the styles of the Treo include the 600 and 650
models ? the latter being a bit more advanced in its
technology. Prices will vary, depending upon model,
features and retailer, but some good sales can be found
online, if you have the time to do some research. Treo 600 ? Using a rechargeable lithium ion battery,
external battery packs are necessary in order to extend
battery life, since the original is built into the device
and, therefore, not removable. Upgrades of the internal
battery are available ? for about $50 ? replacing the 1800
mAh battery with a 2000, although the warranty will be
voided as a result of such an action. The standard battery
offers between five and six hours of talk time, but you
can extend the normal life by avoiding wireless activities
and playing the audio or video features. Treo 650 ? While the 650 model offers a 32 MB memory, only
23 of it is available to the user, and this model is not
upgradeable. An SD/MMC expansion slot is available,
however, which may allow you to add more memory or content.
An advantage of this model, however, is that it will be
available in multiple languages, including English, German,
Italian, Spanish and French. The Treo 650 CDMA model is
only available in English. This fully operational
communications center and handheld computer is among the
top of the line in portable communications devices. Whichever model you prefer, you won't go wrong with the
purchase of a Treo. Its compact, lightweight design and
comprehensive package is designed to meet the needs of
virtually every user, without the inconvenience of bulk or
exorbitant cost. ******* (c) 2005 Simon Canfield - All Rights Reserved Simon Canfield is a hi-tech enthusiast and freelance author. AllAboutHeadPhones.com

Home Electronics: The Facts About Plasma TV
