Original Equipment Manufacturer - usually used around motor vehicles to differentiate between stuff the name company makes (or at least sells) and stuff you buy from someone else -- in the instant situation, the battery that came with the Treo vs the one I'll likely buy from Seidio.
http://www.seidioonline.com/ - click on the 680 stuff and shop to your credit card's content. I've never had a problem with them. One time I was missing a part and they shipped it right out. Go to the car kits -- the music lovers kit they sold for the 650 took stereo out of the 650 and pumped it into the car radio through an FM transmitter. Worked great, til I got the 680, when I had to buy a new holder and now it works great again. I use p-tunes to play podcasts -- and the neat thing is if I get a call it pausess (not stops - that was important to me) p-tunes, lets me hear the call through the car radio and talk through a mic on my visor, and when the call's over, p-tunes comes back where it left off.
