Palm's Vista-compatible Desktop 6.2 arrives woefully late
C'mon -- hop in this nifty time machine here and float with us back to December of 2006. That month, friends, is when Palm initially stated that it was cooking up a Vista-savvy iteration of its Desktop synchronization software, and yet, here we are some 13 months later wondering what took so long. Nevertheless, a finalized version of Desktop 6.2 for Vista has finally been loosed (half a year after the beta was revealed, mind you), and even though it does play nice with 32-bit editions of Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate, 64-bit Vista / XP users are still left out in the cold. For Palm (and Vista) users out there willing to forgive the tardiness, go on and hit up the read link to get the 65.2MB file headed over. [Via PDAStreet]
Palm looses Vista-compatible Desktop Beta
We know, this whole Vista-friendly Palm Desktop software was supposed to be launched, you know, about the same time as Vista itself, but we suppose late is better than never in this scenario. Without further ado, users yearning for a Vista-compatible flavor of Palm Desktop can finally claim their prize -- if you're down with betas, that is. Thankfully, Palm has made sure you're well aware of the limitations found in the software's current state (at least the ones it knew of), so be sure and give those instructions a once over while the 59.2MB file transfers over to make sure you don't fudge anything up.[Via The Official Palm Blog]
Palm readying Vista-compatible Desktop
In case you hadn't heard, Microsoft's got this newfangled Vista operating system getting baked to golden brown perfection as we speak. As we all get ready to unceremoniously toss our computers in the trash next month to buy new ones less likely to upset the overlords that control Vista's performance, there's a little hiccup we all have to keep a close eye on: Palm's current Desktop synchronization software doesn't get along with Vista. Not to worry; Palm says they're in the process of testing an updated version that should be available to the public at large about the same time Vista is. Of course, that leaves business customers who've already taken the Vista plunge in the lurch for now, but hey -- it just might do us all some good to put our Treos away for the next few weeks and relax anyway.
