“The Treo communities are on-the-go road-warriors who benefit greatly from the ability to use PC functionality when away from their PCs. These are cutting-edge users who seek out the most advanced technological capabilities to enhance their daily communications. Packing a powerful value in a small package, smartphones have become required tools for today’s professional on the go.
