- From Annie Latham's Talkin' Treo Column on Friday: some people have noticed Palm's 680 campaign and it's going well:

According to Hancock, the campaign increased awareness of the brand by double digits. "Palm continues to be seen as innovative, intelligent and creative," he said. "This campaign supported those attributes."
