WM6 for Treo, finally

John Chan | Sep 03, 2007

It has happened for a few other countries already, but now, it is here for Asia. We're talking about the Windows Mobile 6 (WM6) upgrade for Palm's Treo 750 and 750v handhelds.

This announcement is especially important for 750v users. Even though it runs WM5 like the 750, only the latter comes with HSDPA connectivity. This upgrade will put both devices on level playing field, activating the 750v's currently inert HSDPA capabilities.

In a press release, Palm announced that the upgrade will be available on its Singapore Web site by the end of September. This upgrade will also be available in the Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand and India, but the timeline for release in these countries is still not confirmed

WM6 gives added functionality including Windows Live integration and makes it easier to use the device as a modem for notebooks. Emails can also be viewed and composed in HTML format.
