Today's San Francisco press conference made it official: There's going to be a Windows Mobile 5.0-based Treo smartphone. It'll be available exclusively from Verizon Wireless at first, and will run on that carrier's EV-DO broadband network. But all hasn't been revealed--the execs wouldn't talk about the product's name, its price, its full specs, or its exact release date, except to say it would be available "very early" in 2006.
