Here are some leaked pictues of Cingular's upcoming Treo Nitro smartphone. Engadget first started the rumor about the new Nitro and Lennon PDA's slated for release this October.

Spaces is MSN's blogging and social networking platform. Since it's release last year, it has surpassed even the company's expectation in terms of success with over 30 million present blogs. Integrated IM and filterable viewing by buddy lists have given it an interactive edge over Yahoo's 360 and Google's Blogger offerings, even though the service can cost as much as $99USD/yr for premium hosting. Spaces mobile version  and software is also better than most as this review finds.

A very important aspect of technology is the ability to modify it to ones needs - just look at all the cell phone coves,faceplates and the whole accessories industry that stems from this. However, for PDA's this is not always the case. That said, I'm glad I stopped by the SPUG forums, where a user has been modding his Treo 650 by hacking it with a shorter antenna. See the pictures below and I think you'll agree - it does look gorgeous.
