Not only will Palm be offering Treo 750 users a chance to upgrade their phones from Windows Mobile 5.0 to Windows Mobil 6, but the company won't charge for it. That means support for HTML-formatted email, Office 2007 file formats, and HSDPA support. There's slightly less memory available on a Treo 750 running Windows Mobile 6, but the folks over at Mobility Site got a chance to play with one at ...

Sure, you could drop a couple hundred bucks on an iPod or a Zune, but who wants to carry around a portable media player and cell phone, and a PDA. there are a number of programs out there to do for your PDA what Winamp did for the PC. If you've got a Treo or other PalmOS device, Pocket Tunes is one of the most full-featured music players around, and version 4.0 adds a bunch of new features: ...

Despite ads floating around inviting shoppers to the url, www.ontreo.com--Palm's site for the new Treo 680 released last week--had remained dormant until today. And it probably should have stayed that way. Engadget says the phone itself has a "whiff of 2004" about it, and that goes triple for the obnoxious flash-based bit of yesteryear that Palm has whipped up to support the phone. Aside from ...

It's a nice clean, simple and effective way for Digg feeds to be accessed with a mobile device like a Treo, Blackberry or cell ...

Notice how we don't talk much about Palm apps around here? I used to be the biggest Palm fan out there. That was before the dark days of lousy hardware, bloated OS updates, and bugs from here to the 10th planet. Riddle me how Sony was able to get Flash on their PalmOS devices years ago, but Palm's own still don't have it? Explain why the OS has to be stuck at 5.x.x.x.x ad infinitum? Oh well, they ...
