Yours truly might not notice too much of whats going around him – but when it comes to devices, my eyes are peeled. Palm’s Treo 750v has had a short life in Austria as a device peddled by Hutchison 3G with very moderate success – they have since banished it from their stock list, replacing it with other WM devices.

I stumbled across the booth below at a busy road in Vienna:

Looking carefully, I figured that my first impression was right – the clerks were equipped with black Treo 750v handhelds:

Unfortunately, I can’t tell you much more. The clerks told me that the devices were provided to them by the company (Marlboro), and that they are not allowed to talk to the press…

P.S. The disclaimer below is needed under Austria’s anti-tobacco laws. I (a non-smoker) consider it a pity that it is needed in a country which openly advertises its freedom of the press.
