Tues - Palm smartphone to use Windows

Microsoft and Palm have teamed up to announce a range of Windows-powered smartphones aimed at the business and mobile professional market.

Under the terms of the alliance Palm has licensed the Microsoft Windows Mobile operating system for an expoanded line of Treo smartphones, the first of which will be available on Verizon's national wireless broadband network starting early next year.

The latest Treo's seem to be going down well, so this should be a step forwards for both parties. Make's you wonder how long Blackberry will be able to hold out with their more proprietary devices?
