It looks like the rumors that have been surrounding the upcoming release of the Palm Treo 800w for Sprint will indeed come true. As we previously reported, the launch date was rumored to be July 13, and it looks like that has since been confirmed. Of course, July 13 is when the regular, or non-enterprise customers will be able to get their hands on one. The Treo 800w will first be available beginning July 9 for enterprise customers.
The Treo 800w will set users back $599.99 if you choose to go in without a contract, or a much more reasonable $249.99 along with a two-year agreement.
In addition to the Treo 800w it looks like Sprint customers can expect the red blackberry Curve to land at the same time, and the LG Rumor in blue to follow later in the month of July.

It’s been a hot minute since we’ve seen anything fresh from FineDigital, but the firm has just introduced the slim and seductive FineDrive X700 over in South Korea. Humorously, the company is asserting that this particular unit is the first of its kind to offer voice recognition, but even a light amount of research would help it understand such a statement is far from being true. Nevertheless, the unit does look to offer a spacious screen and a bundled remote, but details beyond that are unfortunately absent.

The Battersea Power Station in London has been defunct since 1983, and urban developers have been scratching their heads to come up with a way to preserve the largest brick structure in all of Europe. Some wily Irish developers have come up with a way to turn the empty building into what they’re calling a “solar driven natural ventillation system” attached to shopping malls, 3,000 homes, and a boutique hotel. The 1,000-foot glass tower would use a funnel structure to force heat out of the complex using convection all the while providing a striking addition to the London skyline. All in all, developers say this would make the complex carbon neutral. If the plan goes through, the structure could be completed as soon as 2019.

There are all sorts of ways to deal with rising gas prices and public transportation needs, and Montreal is getting in the game with what they’re calling the Public Bike System. Utilizing a central inventory and check-out website, solar-powered docking stations, and high-tech RFID-tagged aluminum bikes, the system is a gadget-maxed project that could be amazing or turn into a complete theft disaster. Each station holds six bikes and six docks, and users can find the nearest available bike on a website and then return the bike to any other dock. Payments can be made via credit, debit, or “member” card. Quick question, though — what if a popular destination has no available docks for a drop-off?

It’s about time someone we understand got his hands on Gigabyte’s M704 UMPC. In this case, Chippysteve over at UMPC Portal put together a relatively long video that has him gushing over the new machine, navigating XP, tapping the screen, and putting the little computer through its various tasks. He seems to love the thing unconditionally, but did admit that the chiclet keyboard could use some work. Interface responsiveness looks decent and he proved the unit’s performance by running some 1080P video without much of a glitch, so his adoration is at least partially deserved. Don’t forget to note his excitement over the free docking station. That all said, we’re just glad to see this thing in action in the Western hemisphere. Peep the vid after the break.

Let’s face it, the streets are rough these days. And just because someone admits to having your back, that doesn’t mean they won’t turn and run in the heat of battle. Granted, the very spark that sets off said conflict could be this questionably designed coat, but we digress. Paul Coudamy’s Hard-Wear jacket includes a totally inconspicuous camera on the rear which reportedly beams happenings onto a wrist-worn LCD. Not exactly James Bond type material here, but we suppose it’ll do for the double-o in training. Take all those orange blocks away and your chances of being looked at would decline remarkably, wouldn’t you think?

This certainly won’t be the first time ASUS has shipped an in-demand item elsewhere in the world while USers ponder the thought of importing, but apparently the outfit’s potent G70 is now on sale in the UK. For those who missed it, this monstrosity features a 17-inch WUXGA / WXGA+ panel, an optional Core 2 Extreme processor, twin GeForce 8700M GT graphics cards, 1GB of RAM, an optional Blu-ray writer, gigabit Ethernet, Bluetooth / WiFi and oodles of LED accents. Word on the street has it going for around £1,999 ($3,948) well equipped, but those blokes across the pond aren’t too worried about a US release date.
