The Palm Treo Pro has officially been announced by Palm.  As we mentioned in Monday's blog post, Palm had leaked a Flash video of the new Treo by accident and then pulled it.  But now we have the full details from Palm directly, and it's looking good with quad-band GSM, tri-band 3G, wi-fi, GPS, a 2.0 megapixel camera and more.  It runs Windows Mobile 6.1 and will be available in Europe through Vodafone and O2 and will be sold unlocked in the U.S. for a suggested retail price of $549.
