Bell is putting a 3G Palm Pre up for grabs.  Entry into the nation wide contest is simple; head over to www.bell.ca/palmpre or www.bell.ca/pre and register for the email notification.  The contest runs from July 7th till August 31st.  The draw will be on September 7, 2009 and the prize has a value of $650 (I assume this is no contract price of the Palm Pre).

Now in case you were wondering, the phone used to promote the contest is not actually the Palm Pre but the Palm Treo Pro.  Hopefully they realize their mistake before they send out the incorrect phone to the contest winner.

Palm has released a new mobile device called “Foleo”. Basically its a mini laptop running Linux OS that connects directly to your Treo smartphone for syncronzation.  You will see the Palm Foleo go on sale later this summer for $499 after rebate. For more informaiton on Foleo visit Palm.com.

The Foleo mobile companion turns on and off instantly and features fast navigation, a compact and elegant design, and a battery that lasts up to 5 hours of use. Its applications include email, full-screen web browser, and editors or viewers for common business documents such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint and PDF files. The Foleo stays synchronized via Bluetooth(R) wireless technology and uses the smartphone’s radio or the Foleo’s built-in Wi-Fi radio for general Internet connectivity.

“Foleo is the most exciting product I have ever worked on,” said Jeff Hawkins, founder of Palm, Inc. and the visionary behind the Foleo’s concept and definition. “Smartphones will be the most prevalent personal computers on the planet, ultimately able to do everything that desktop computers can do. However, there are times when people need a large screen and full-size keyboard. As smartphones get smaller, this need increases. The Foleo completes the picture, creating a mobile-computing system that sets a new standard in simplicity.”

Palm has announced the latest in the Treo smartphone lineup with the new 755p for Sprint. The Treo 755p shares the same body as the Treo 750 only it runs Palm OS. It’s the first CDMA Treo to include an internal antenna. New features include integrated Google Maps. All other features remain the same as the Treo 700p including the 1.3 megapixel camera and miniSD memory card slot.

“The Treo 755p is a stylish and powerful device ideal for business professionals looking for the power to do more while on the go,” said Danny Bowman, vice president of customer equipment for Sprint. “Building upon the success of the Treo 700p, we’ve added enhancements such as Mobile Voice Control, a new IM application and Sprint TV(SM) in the ROM for mobile entertainment and news.

Sprint will see the launch of this new Treo this May for a price tag of $279.99 with contract.
