“Treo smartphone sales surpassed an important milestone — $1 billion in revenue for the fiscal year,” said Ed Colligan, Palm president and chief executive officer. “Our product engine is firing on all cylinders as evidenced by our recent introductions of both the Treo 700w and the Treo 700p, each of which offers a different operating system, 3G radios and robust application suites, and we delivered these products to multiple carriers simultaneously. We enter fiscal year 2007 as a strong leader, capable of delivering on the rich potential of mobile computing on a global scale.”
