Nope, but I know what you are referring to.
There was an article in DigiTimes awhile back saying that Palm (and some others, like iMate) were switching back to HTC for their OEMs. From their some how it was extropolated to mean "HTC is making the Treo 800w" and that meme has spread all over the boards. It's quite inaccurate though.
Interetingly enough,
the info was false about iMate--they never did switch and continue to develop their own devices.
Even if true, the article was so vague as to make the info almost useless. It never mentioned the 800w and didn't say anything about a time line (e.g. "starting in 2009...HTC will...") so there is no way to know which, if any, devices they might be making.
So from my point: there has never been any real evidence at all to suggest that Palm is using HTC. It could be true but I'm not very confident in the rumor at this point...
