If we sound a bit excited to hear that Palm has finally gone live with their Windows Mobile 6.0 upgrade for AT&T Palm Treo 750 owners, it’s because we are.

Palm launched their WinMo6.0 upgrade for AT&T Palm Treo 750 handsets a little over an hour ago, and you can grab it here . AT&T Palm Treo 750 owners still holding their breath for the Windows Mobile 6.0 upgrade can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

More details, pics of Windows Mobile 6.1

Tue, 04 Dec 2007 21:35:01 +0000

We finally have a face to put on the update to the Windows Mobile 6.0 OS , dubbed 6.1. That same Motorola Q9 that hinted at AT&T’s plan to bring WiFi to the Windows Mobile 6.0 Standard masses has revealed a couple delicious morsels of information on Windows Mobile 6.1. The WM6.1 homescreen (that you see above) doesn’t seem all that radically different from the WM6 interface, but that’s to be expected with an evolutionary “0.1″ upgrade. What is different is the revised homescreen that gives quick-panning access to recent activity (pictured is the “Missed Call” list) and the addition of threaded SMS text messages and cut-and-paste functionality on the Windows Mobile 6.1 Standard OS. Which means that hacking your WinMo device to get threaded SMS text messages will be a thing of the past. Here’s the full run-down of additions that you can expect to see in the WinMo6.1 update (from BGR):

Copy / Paste
Domain Enroll in Settings (Enrolling in a domain will connect your device with company resources.)
New home screen (pan left and right to check out missed calls, notifications like email, sms, etc.)
Change Master Security Code
Added text input settings
Recent Programs when pressing Start menu
Threaded SMS
When you compose an email, or SMS, and start typing the name of the contact in the “To:” field, the contact names finally pop up like Windows Mobile Professional!
Internet Explorer now lets you define a homepage, and also zoom in and out using a nice and clean interface

Of course, carriers and manufacturers will have the final say on whether or not your particular Windows Mobile 6.0 device will be getting the 6.1 update. So, we can only hope that most of them see fit to bring the update to their smartphone fleet. The new look of the UI is a real refreshing update to the aging WinMo platform, and we can’t wait to start using it on our WM devices. Bring on the WM6.1 update!

Windows Mobile update to add higher-resolution widescreen display support

Fri, 30 Nov 2007 23:58:04 +0000

Well, it’s about time. We’ve been stuck with our 320 x 240 WinMo resolutions for so long that it’s almost surprising that Microsoft has added higher-resolution widescreen support. We say almost because the bumped-up resolution support is pretty much the most logical and simplest feature update that Microsoft could have included in the new Windows Mobile 6.0 interface - so the update took us by surprise, but Windows Mobile 6.0 is overdue for this kind of update. Regardless, dynamic (resolution changes between landscape and portrait views) resolution outputs are going to support a host of display formats - from tiny displays with 240 x 240 resolutions to huge widescreens with DVD-like resolutions of 480 x 800. Accelerometers will be used to detect portrait or landscape orientation changes, prompting automatic resolution changes (dynamic) to match the screen’s orientation (much like the iPhone). And this is just about the simplest update that’s due for the new WinMo6 - we can’t wait to see what the rest of the updated Windows Mobile 6.0 will look like!

AT&T to update Palm Treo 750 to Windows Mobile 6.0 soon?

Thu, 08 Nov 2007 19:25:38 +0000

Well, AT&T’s missed it before , and they’ve missed it again. But, could AT&T be on track to release the incredibly sought-after and highly-anticipated Windows Mobile 6.0 Professional upgrade this week (or soon, at least)? The update was rumored for a release earlier this week, but apparently went back into hiding when AT&T noticed bugs in the update. If the bugs were anything less than system-critical, we’d imagine that AT&T could make the necessary fixes and finally get that update out to eager AT&T-branded Treo 750 owner. We know, we know. The pain must be unbearable at this point. Why not just go and grab that leaked WM6 ROM and rub it in AT&T’s face? Or, on second thought, it’s probably best not to tell AT&T about your ill-gotten Palm Treo 750 WinMo6 ROM.

Here’s yet another official Windows Mobile 6.0 upgrade for you guys. This time it’s unbranded, generic Palm Treo 750’s in the US (remember, Australia already got this update , so you can stop holding your breath now) that get the WinMo6 treatment. The WM6 update comes to us straight from Palm, so those of you using an AT&T-spec Palm Treo 750 are out of luck. Aside from the obvious bump-up to a fresh Windows Mobile 6.0 installation, Palm Treo 750 owners will be glad to hear that the update will enhance your email experience and allow for USB charging. We’re just left with one question - when is AT&T going to get with the program and release their own WM6 update for all those Treo 750 owners that opted for an AT&T-subsidized and branded smartphone?
