The first Treo is not a phone at all, but merely a Personal Digital Assistant or PDA. This first unit (called "Treo 90") was released by Handspring on May 28, 2002. It had a 160x160 pixel screen and ran Palm OS 4.1.

After the earlier releases, more notable releases in the Treo line include the Treo 600 (2003) and the Treo 650 (2004), which remained on shelves for pretty long periods of time.

From 2006, Palm began to offer their devices in two versions - One running their own Palm Operating System, and the other running Windows Mobile. This move was met with some criticism and skeptism, but was eventually accepted.

In the same year, Palm offered the Treo 680, which was a breakthrough as it is the first Treo device not to have an antenna that sticks out from the phone body. From then on, all Treo phones do not have the antenna which was characteristic of the Treo 650.

As the Treo lines evolve, the two latest products are the Palm Centro (Palm OS) released in 2007, and the Palm Treo Pro (Windows Mobile) released 2008. These phones had very similar form factors and specifications and can be considered two versions of the same phone.

With the recent release of the Palm Pre, the Treo line is now receiving less attention and may eventually be phased out by the newer Web OS products.
