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:

We have recently seen the images and those gave a nice look at what appears to be a cross between a slightly more grown up Treo and a Centro. Those images did also give us a nice side shot that showed what appeared to be an on/off switch for the Wi-Fi and these recently leaked specs are indeed highlighting Wi-Fi as a feature, something that has been long lacking with the Treo lineup. Of course as with any leaked specs, these are highly unconfirmed and come courtesy of a “good friend.”

With that said, the details are set to include the previously mentioned Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g along with GSM, EDGE and UMTS HSDPA 3.6 support, a 2-megapixel camera, assisted-GPS, a microSD card slot which sadly is located under the 1500 mAh battery, a micro-USB connector for both power and sync, Bluetooth 2.0 EDR + A2DP, 256MB NAND-Flash with about 175MB available for the user, 32MB SDRAM, a 320 x 320 touchscreen display and running Windows Mobile Professional 6.1.

The new Treo, which is the 850 is also codenamed the Skywriter. With a solid set of specs, this should make anyone looking for a new Treo happy, but aside from the addition of Wi-Fi it just may not be enough to convince current Treo users they need to upgrade. Still waiting on any information regarding pricing and availability.

It looks like June is going to be another big month for the ultra-mobile PC market. In addition to the MSI Wind dropping on June 3, we will also be getting the Eee PC 901.

The Eee PC 901 will retain most of the same styling and features as the 900, except the 901 will feature an Intel Atom processor, built-in Bluetooth and have some metal allow parts added to the keyboard and hinge. The touchpad will also receive a metallic border. It was also confirmed, as we noted from the last images that the 901 will loss the Asus logo in favor of an Eee logo.

DigiTimes is also reporting that the notebook will be “at a price below” $650. Which would mean its pretty safe to say that it will retail for $649.99.

Not much is known about Motorola’s upcoming Motorola ZN5 except that it’s supposed to be a 5-megapixel Kodak camera-equipped candy bar handset with a Montavista Linux 2.6.1 OS. Unwired View is reporting about a few additional, if a bit disappointing features including 2.5G GSM/GPRS connectivity, 320×240 QVGA display, so-so multimedia capability (Mpeg4 playback) and a bulky camera mechanism. But Motorola has been mum on the issue so far and even that leaked video showing the upcoming Moto phones has been taken down. So right now, the details about this phone are really scarce. Now I’ll be honest with you, I’m curious about this new Motorola phone and all the others because I still believe Motorola can do a comeback even after scoring second to the last in a recently conducted survey of user satisfaction, and not to mention the dismal sales of their then precious Motorola RAZR2 V8. So I did a little digging and well, I found what I was looking for. Not rumors, but official specs of the Motorola ZN5 supplied by the manufacturer’s web site itself.
