You may get a brand-new Treo 680 for as low as P12,500 during the Microwarehouse mid-year sale, which runs today and tomorrow.

The brand-new red and silver Treo 680, originally priced at P24,800, are sold with opened box but include complete accessories. Those who prefer a brand-new, silver Treo 680 in an unopened box could get it for P17,500.

Palm Centro is also available for a discounted price of P16,600. See other products on the pricelist.

Microwarehouse, located at the Eastwood City Cyberpark in Quezon City, is a distributor of Palm, Apple and other consumer electronics products.

While the Philippines is admittedly a Friendster country, my recent experience with social networking sites shows that Facebook is also now gaining Pinoy members. Both social network sites already have their own mobile interface that allows cellphone users to login to their account.

Recognizing Facebook’s huge membership — having been “recently ranked by M:Metrics as one of the sites people visit most often on their mobile devices” — Palm created Facebook for Palm.

I downloaded and tried to install it on my Treo 650, but it isn’t compatible with my device. Facebook for Palm is supposed to work with Palm Centro, Treo 755p and Treo 680 smartphones.

Here are more details about Facebook for Palm from the official Palm blog:

You can use Facebook for Palm to:

• Send and receive messages
• View and post status updates
• View and post photos from your smartphone
• See your friends’ profiles and photos
• Read and write Wall posts
• View News Feed
• Upload videos taken from your Palm smartphone
• Use a mobile “Contacts” tab that aggregates friends phone numbers – view your list of friends and dial or text them directly

Maybe Palm could also come up with Friendster for Palm and Orkut for Palm for its customers in Asia and South America, respectively.

In the hope of winning something that I could add to my still-to-be-announced Foleo 2 Fund or to my webhosting bill, I am joining DNExpert.com’s 8979-dollar contest, which the organizer dubs as the “Greatest domaining and blogging contest ever.”

To be able to join the contest, contestants have to do a set of actions as specified in the instructions on the contest page. More actions means more entry points, and of course, higher of winning any of the following prizes:

I didn’t know that there is a way to run Palm applications on Windows Mobile devices until I read about StyleTap’s official announcement of its plan to come up with a version for iPhone.

StyleTap Platform, I learned, is a mobile software that enables thousands of applications written for Palm OS to run on other devices. Styletap for WM has long been available, while a version for Symbian is already in beta testing. The iPhone version will be released this July.

A free 14-day trial of StyleTap Platform may be downloaded for free on its official website. A registered copy costs US $49.95.

Isn’t it great to know that you may enjoy the wifi capability of WM and Apple devices and still run your favorite Palm apps on it?
