We've got even more Treo news today. In a report today on cnet, Palm CFO Andrew Brown says that offering a Treo that runs on Windows Mobile might help the company attract more corporate customers.

Despite that shared heritage with PalmSource, Brown described Palm as neutral to the operating system its devices use--and the types of e-mail servers to which they connect. "
