Treo Lowrider

Several months ago, there was speculation that Palm would be releasing several models of Treos this year, including “Hollywood” (a 3G/UMTS model) and “Lowrider” (an entry-level model). Treonauts has photos of a Treo which could be the Lowrider.

I personally think it’s a fake, as it just looks exactly like a Treo 650 minus the antenna. We also haven’t seen any screens lighted on this model, so we don’t know what OS it runs.

If Lowrider is the entry-level model, it does make sense that Palm would “recycle” the existing Treo 650/Treo 600 form factor for it, with the higher-end models being smaller and sleeker (which is what Hollywood is supposed to be).

Update : There’s now a couple of photos of this “Lowrider” model running Pocket Tunes.
