Palm has made Windows Mobile 6 for 750 and 750v users available for download, several months after first promising it.

The free upgrade overwrites Windows Mobile 5 with Microsoft's newest smartphone operating system, Windows Mobile 6. Palm 750v owners (the Vodafone version) also get fast mobile broadband enabled, which increases download speeds from 384Kbit/sec (3G) to a massive 1.8Mbit/sec (HSDPA).

Palm says the benefits of this update are:

• Improved calendar functionality
• Email enhancements and additional support
• Live links to Microsoft SharePoint documents
• Ability to set an out-of-office message and flag emails for follow-up from the device
• Simple interface to allow you to use the Treo as a high speed wireless modem for laptops

Another key feature Palm adds is USB cable charging, something that should really have been do-able at launch.
