I don't think there will be an 800p.  With all the
big-named, big-ticket design folks jumping on board
at Palm, I would expect the next non-WinMo Treo's
to be Nova/OS II based devices, probably not even
called Treo's, and probably with all of the feature
sets of the current 800's and pending 850 (i.e., GPS,
WiFi, 3G broadband, BT etc.) with a mini or micro
USB connector but running the newest Palm OS.  I would
expect RAM to at least double and support for SDHC
to be built in, and for a device that doesn't look

 
 Hopefully, the big plus will be an operating system
which gets away from the architecture of Garnet: 
interrupt and notification driven with no consistent
coordination between memory usage and application
needs (necessitated by moving code from NVFS to RAM,
in and out of cache's).  We might even see the caching
moved to the processor (that's how Intel does it)
thereby bringing a whole lot more stability to the
unit.
 
 In other words, we don't know what it looks like

 
 Traditionally, there have been leaks about Palm products
a few months before they've actually hit shelves. 
Sites like Boy Genius and Engadget get them all the
time.  Not like Apple where you hardly ever get a
leak unless Steve Jobs means for it to be so.
