Treonauts ci informa (e io non sto più nella pelle !! :)) che è disponibile l'aggiornamento a Windows Mobile 6 per il Palm Treo 750.

Ho appena appreso (grazie Lica per il link!) che la Palm poche ore fa ha annunciato la disponibilità all'aggiornamento gratuito a Windows Mobile 6 Professional Edition.

Coming up later this week is the Treo 750 Review that I did with Michael Babishkin. If you are thinking about getting this phone or are just interested, be sure to check back for that. And, like I mentioned earlier, watch for an out-take show as well.

In comparison, the Palm Treo 750, which costs $100 less than the suggested low end of the iPhone, offers the same WiFi and bluetooth capabilities as the iPhone, yet also offers compatibility with 3rd-party apps and Windows apps that allow you to open the most common form of email attachments (docs and spreadsheets), AND offers both UMTS and GPRS-EDGE data network compatibility on the same AT&T network. It also utilizes common flash memory (SD cards) that can be removed, replaced or upgraded. On the other hand, the Treo 750 doesn’t offer a built-in iPod.

But for consumers? That will be interesting. Although we’ve heard howls of protest at the iPhone’s $499 and $599 price points, consider this… The Cingular 8525 and Palm Treo 750 (both touch screen Windows Mobile 5 devices) cost $399.99 (after subsidizing is figured in). That is not much less than the lower-end iPhone. And, neither one has 4GB of storage like the low-end iPhone.

In order to sync the Treo 750 with Vista, you must download and install a beta version of Windows Mobile Device Center. WMDC is currently in Beta 3. You can not use ActiveSync with Vista.

CES 2007 was the place where Cingular and Palm wanted to make the announcement official. The Palm Treo 750 is finally here. Many of you have known about the device for quite some time and have been anxiously awaiting its arrival.
