Palm Updates Windows Vista Support Page

Following in the wake of last week's blog update by Paul Loefler, Palm has added a short blurb to the Windows Vista support section of their site.

Palm has added the following text to their Palm Desktop 4.1.4e and 4.2 recommendations:

"Coming soon: Look for a beta release of the new Windows Vista-compatible Palm Desktop and HotSync Manager software this summer."

Palm is also including a note in the box of the new Sprint Treo 755p urging users not to install the bundled Palm Desktop 4.2 version but instead to check the above URL.

This blog post, the recent support site update, and the note in the 755p packaging are hopefully clear signs that a beta Vista-compliant Palm Desktop download will be available sooner rather than later. With the 755p already on the market, the 680 ROM recently updated, and the 700p ROM update hopefully just around the corner, addressing Windows Vista compliance should be near the top of Palm's immediate priority list.
