Seidio has long been one of the Palm mobile community’s favored peripheral sources for a variety of reasons. First and foremost among these is the variety available in Seidio’s signature accessories line, with their family of slim plastic hardcases a constantly popular option. Last year I reviewed Seidio’s rubberized Innocase for the Treo 700-series. While that case had a few aggravating flaws, it remained a nicely made device that frustratingly didn’t quite tap its full potential (or at least the example I owned failed to). Nevertheless, I have a few fond memories of that particular case, as it brought the soft-touch paint of the then-new Treo 750 to all Treo users frustrated with the slickness of their devices’ exterior.

After spending the past few months with my new Verizon 755p, I’ve grown to love that device’s rubberized coating even more but still would like some additional protection when I don’t feel like toting a leather pouch case or belt case. So I decided to purchase another version of Seidio’s Rubberized Innocase for my 755p and see what improvements have been from the previous generation. Read on for the full review.

You won’t see — or hear — anything else like it on television. And to deliver a series of such uncompromising quality, the seven-person creative team that brings us Live from Abbey Road depends on Final Cut Studio to edit, color, correct, and export the entire show. “If I put myself in a time machine and went back ten years, I’d never have believed I could do this,” remarks editor Keith Mottram.

The long awaited, oft rumored and much anticipated Wi-Fi equipped Treo 800w has now been officially made official.
