After a long time of speculation and wondering, the deal has officially been completed. Sirius and XM have formed as one company and are now using the uninspired sounding name of Sirius XM Radio.

As we saw the merger had its ups and downs and times when it looked like it was never going to happen, we saw the DOJ give their seal of approval back in March, and then the news kind of died down a little bit. Then finally the FCC gave their seal of approval late last week and now things seem to be quick moving again.

As part of the merger, any existing radios will continue to work and subscribers can continue on with their current plans, but personally I am more looking forward to see those new a-la-carte style plans that we have heard mentioned. Well, that and some new Sirius XM Radio branded hardware.

It looks like the full spec list for the upcoming Palm Treo 800w has been revealed. The 800w will be headed to Sprint in mid-July (rumored to be July 13) and then later coming to Verizon Wireless in Q3. While the list seems complete it does have at least one interesting item missing, notably a standard 3.5mm headphone jack. However with a slightly more updated look, this should make for a nice addition to the Treo lineup. Keep reading for the complete specs:
