Palm Treo 680 Smartphone Picture Leaked Currently leaking out all over the Web is this picture of a Palm Treo 680 with Cingular branding.

Apparently found lurking on Palm’s software store before it promptly vanished, the Treo 680 looks to be the likely candidate for “lower priced Treo” which was recently hinted at by Palm’s CEO.

Like the recently announced Windows Mobile Treo 750v, the Palm OS Treo 680 has lost the distinctive chunky antennae seen on earlier models.

Unsurprisingly, Palm OS aficionados who have been starved of a new Treo release on their favoured platform for some time have been carefully examining the photograph.

Some have suggested that what looks like a larger memory card cover means that the company are sticking with the standard SD card expansion slot, although the IR port may have vanished (or simply shuffled to another part of the phone).
