Following hot on the heels of its elder Windows Mobile sibling, the 750v, the Treo 680 comes into the light today for GSM networks — a good sign for carriers worldwide after a year of CDMA equipment out of the company.

Samsung has just announced the 305T, a 30-inch LCD — successor to the 244T — targeted at design professionals. At $2000, it offers 2560 x 1600 resolution, 1000:1 contrast ratio, 400 cd/m2 brightness, 6ms response time, a 4-port USB hub, and a 178-degree viewing angle. No word yet on availability.
