If you're a Windows-based Treo user and you're tired of being mocked by your Palm-based Treo friends about the lack of Google Maps for Windows Mobile, then today is your lucky day.
Google just announced the immediate availability of Google Maps Mobile for U.S. Windows Mobile devices. The free program enables users to view interactive maps and satellite imagery. (I can see my house from here!) The program also finds local businesses, gives point-to-point driving directions, and with live traffic updates, you can see which freeway will get you home faster to watch those "Everybody Loves Raymond" reruns.
If your device is connected to or has a built-in GPS receiver, Google Maps Mobile will show you exactly where you are. You'll never have to pull over to ask for directions again.

In yet another non-traditional move, the charmers behind "Snakes on a Plane" are adding another interesting twist to the most strangely hyped movie of all time. This time, producers have decided to hand Treo's over to the bloggers who helped create the huge buzz around the slithering film.
The select group of web-heads will be given Treo's at the premiere of the Samuel L. Jackson action film, where they can share their take of the movie with the entire internet community almost immediately. The all-in-one Treo smartphone combines a phone, e-mail, messaging, web searching, MP3 playing capabilities and a camera ... the perfect device whether your blogging from the red-carpet ... or have an experience with real snakes on a plane! (maybe send a text to Sam?)
As long as Samuel L. Jackson doesn't yell "Get these !@#%!# Treo's off this red carpet" we're sure things will be fine. "Snakes on a Plane" premieres August 18th.

What's a new celebrity to do? You've just landed the role in the newest MTV pseudo-reality show and now you have to make the rounds at the hot Hollywood clubs. Your only problem is that you couldn't find Hyde or The Ivy if your career depended on it... And it does!
Well, for the newest group of celebrities who own Treos but haven't landed the salary for the GPS enabled Escalades, Palm and Tom Tom have teamed up to release the GPS Navigator Smartphone to give you a leg up.
This $299 add-on to the Treo 650, 700w and 700p utilizes a Tom Tom GPS receiver and a 1GB memory card pre-loaded with maps of the United States and Canada. It even comes with a spiffy cradle that attaches to your windshield- swanky! All this information is displayed on the Treo's screen and is dictated by one of 30 voices.
So now your trips into Hollywood will be event free, that is until you reach the club at which point a rich kid may trash talk about you.
The GPS navigator from Palm is available now.

You think your phone is cool? Well Nick Lachey would say different.
Turns out Nick loves his Palm Treo. We mean really LOVES it. He loves his Treo so much that he got the 10th Anniversary Treo Black Tie Edition version of the phone. Only 2,000 worldwide were produced.
The phone has a polished chrome framework that shines against the the black backdrop and has a soft-touch finish. The phone also came with a special bundle that includes a hard case and multi-functional stylus.
Nick isn't the only celebrity with a Treo fetish -- "Lost" star Josh Holloway also snatched up the limited edition phone before they sold out.
So next time you see Nick and you want to show off your phone, beware: Nick rolls large with the Black Tie Treo.
