Windows Mobile 6 to support Hi-Res!

http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,1895,2092473,00.asp

"Finally, Windows Mobile 6 cures the hideous affliction that has scarred the Palm Treo 700w: it now supports more screen resolutions including 320x320 and 800x480. Hopefully, we will never have to see a 240x240 screen device again."

"Windows Mobile 6 will start appearing on devices soon; Samsung showed their SCH-i760 at CES. Microsoft will also make upgrades available for many Windows Mobile 5 devices, though it's up to individual device manufacturers and carriers to decide whether they'll offer those upgrades to consumers."

Mark one up for Microsoft. The biggest advantage of the Palm/Garnet OS, it's screen resolution, has been eliminated. I've held out on upgrading my Treo 650 to a Treo 700wx because of the low-res screen, or to a 700p because of little or no OS development.

Now comes the wait for a new Treo 700wx upgrade with WM6 and a 320x320 screen or a Sprint version of the Samsung SCH-i760 which is rumored to be a WM 6 phone.
