Palm on Tuesday announced that it would update its Treo 750 smartphone to Windows Mobile 6. In addition to bringing some of the new software inherent to the new OS to existing owners -- such as faster web browsing and Office Mobile -- the upgrade will actually enable a new feature for those using AT&T's phone service, Palm says. Applying the update will streamline connecting to the US provider's HSDPA mobile broadband from the touchscreen, giving it faster speeds in the process.

The smartphone maker hasn't revealed a price or a specific launch date for the update, which should be available worldwide later this year.
