So far, advertising/marketing has been too dominated by a focus on minutes and the reliability of networks. In addition to Treo, in San Francisco I'm seeing a heavy ad presence from Windows Mobile as well as seeing Sprint tout the Moto Q.

I also like how they present the gadget as something <em>relevant</em> for users. It seems that Palm is finally aware of marketing’s benefits.

My 77 year old mother called me last night from Ohio to tell me she desires a Treo for Christmas. No Palm fan myself, it is going to take some deft maneuvering on my part when I go home to get her to a smartphone that is smart enough to 1. not crash frequently, 2. not be too complex for her to use 3. not let her think she can read RSS feeds and drive at the same time. Thanks Treo! Merry Christmas! I can tell you that this is working to increase consideration of Treos as phones.
