In a move more-less unique in the Palm history(as if that ever happened before), Palm has decided to react to an open letter by Treo 700p power users on TreoCentral. The full response can be found here, and PalmInfoCenter has extra info on the background.
Palms letter has three core points that each adress one bug – TamsPalm has the nitty gritty for you:
Bluetooth problems
Palm plans to have a patch addressing the Bluetooth problems of the Palm Treo 700p ready soon – soon meaning by about 1Q/2007.
Sound stuttering
Palm says that stuttering will not be eliminated 100% on the Treo 700p. However, a patch available late Q1/2007 will do its best to make the problem less annoying!
Lag times
Palm blames the lag on third party developers apps not closing databases properly, and also blames it on the 700p and the 700w/wx sharing hardware configurations. It doesnt look as if Palm will do anything here…
Is that a paradigm shift for Palm’s miserable history of ignoring device problems(and getting their hides sued in, I will cling on to that Treo 600 even when I have my M70 just to send it in when the class action lawsuit about the screen passes)? What do you think?

I’ve managed to get the lag problem mostly licked by some careful tweaking and figuring what applications are to blame.
The audio problem is mostly pockettunes, at least for me. Coreplayer works great.
Bluetooth still an issue: guess we’ll have to wait a bit.
