The buzz is there: Nokia and/or Motorola are considering the posibility of buying Palm and today we have learnt the this rumor may be true as Reuters is informing that Palm has hired the services of Morgan Stanley to be advised on the purchase.

It's not a secret that the Treo line is an attractive force for many potential purchasers. In the meantime, shares of Palm continue raising and Palm keeps silent.

Last week we were talking about syncing the Treo wirelessly using diferent tools and having Google Calendar as main PIM service. Well, thanks to Chris who left an interesting coment and pointed out the possibility of using another powerfull -and free- tool: Goosync.

Goosync has also the advantage that can be used on a PalmOS Treo or Windows Mobile. It works flawlessly.

It's quite funny how I've ended up in this situation, but it happens that I syncronize the Treo 750 without any cable. What a big deal! -you'll say- well, I actually do it without using bluetooth either... How?? using Google Calendar

In my daily use I have a Treo 750 as main smartphone, an Apple iBook as work laptop, a Dell Dimension as  desktop computer and a UMPC Samsung Q1 which comes with me whenever I travel and visit customers. I realized that it was  a bit crazy to keep the same agenda on all devices, so I started using Google Calendar as main agenda.

I then found a great tool which could help me syncronize all the appointments I set up on the Treo and it was free!! I then came up with OggSync, which syncronized the Treo with Google Calendar. However, I found out that many appointments were still setup using the iBook, because 80% of my work was done with it, so I needed a tool which kept syncronized the iBook and Google Calendar, and then came up with SpanningSync, which automatically would syncronize iCal with Google Calendar.

Now all my devices share the same agenda and I can access it from anywhere, isn't it awesome?

It seems that Microsoft has offered vendors and operators Windows Mobile 6 for free until May only. Let's hope that they will offer it for free to users...

Remember our post about Palm lowing prices soon? Well, it seems that Palm may be releasing a low end Treo before this summer. No more details so far, but stay tuned.

A great solution for your summer holidays to protect your Treo: use a condom

Our sister site palManiac has recorded a 10 minutes review of the Proporta Battery Charger and the Gadget Bag. Its all in Spanish but you will be able to see the products.

It seems so. Chief Financial Officer Andy Brown announced that Palm is willing to sacrifice the margins in order to gain some market share. It seems like the market is defragmentating and there are lots of cheap phones which are lowing the prices.

Colligan doesn't like to be asked for the iPhone, but he's definitely right on something: the Treos have 90% of iPhone's features for a lesser price. This was said during an interview made by a swiss paper on the 3GSM congress.

I agree that most of iPhone features are already solved quite well by the Treo, but with less... glamour? charm?

He went on quite upset and said: "By the way, if this is an interview about the iPhone, you should talk with the Apple people instead".
