The update also will switch on the HSDPA (high-speed downlink packet access) capabilities of the Treo 750 for AT&T users in the United States, which will boost its 3G wireless data speeds over the UMTS speeds that the current line of 750s use.
Palm said the update will be available later this year, and didn't go into detail on the logistics of how the updates would be performed.
