After a long wait, Palm has made a Windows Mobile 6 update available for the AT&T Treo 750 smartphone. Windows Mobile 6 brings increased functionality, enhanced user interface and strengthened security and performance to the Treo 750 as well as a new HSDPA capability, allowing for faster data-download and Internet access on the device.

The update is available today as a free download for existing Treo 750 smartphone customers.

Enhancements:

• Update for Loss of System Sounds - Included in the update.
• Improved Calendar functionality - See the big picture at a glance. New topline bar in the agenda view shows when you’re free or busy, and when you have scheduling conflicts. Drill down to view meeting attendees, contact information, acceptance status, and reply-to or forward meeting requests.
• Additional email support - Send and receive HTML emails with tables, bullets, and colored text intact^2,3. The “smart filter” for contact search has been updated so you can search for emails stored on your company’s Exchange Server³. Even send an out-of-office message from your device³.
• Windows Vista compatibility - Easily sync your smartphone to your Windows Vista PC, via the Windows Mobile Device Centre (WMDC).
