To follow up yesterday’s Palm Gandolf sighting reports, I have received the following two statements from (usually reliable) industry insiders:
I am very positive on the Gandolf. Palm has indeed announced a “sleeker” Treo multiple times before in the past, and this machine looks palmish enough to be a real product.
So far, we have usually received samples of each Treo before release. However, the Gandolf didn’t materialize in our labs yet; and we are not sure when/if it will. We basically know as much as you all do(being the loyal TamsPalm readers that we are)…
I myself am still not sure if this is a real device or not; however, a Palm manager babbled about how “the passion is back in the product” quite a lot when I met him some time ago. He also mentioned repeatedly that Palms Treos will get sleeker soon…
As for the tester not having access to the machine yet, this only shows that there is still some time until the device will hit the road. Palm could still be finalizing the hardware and thus didn’t release any samples yet…
What do you think(except yawn)?

I still have a strange feeling in my gut that this thing is BS and that morning paper is pulling our leg… But then again, i thought that the Foleo would be a Hires+ Treo so… Go figure…
if Palm was smart, they’d make a treo with the so called “Palm OS II”/windows mobile dual boot…
One can dream, I suppose…
I would be all over that crap.
But it will never happen…
Hi,
dual boot handhelds exist…in Handeras Labs…

Well, yes, I have hackndev Linux on my Palm already (Dual boot sort of…), but that doesn’t mean it’ll be offically supported. Why not just get an iPaq and styleTap? Best of both worlds imo.
You know how ole Gatesy can be…. 
Also, I doubt micro$cotch would allow that to happen
