Other improvements include direct access to URLs, email addresses and phone numbers within an email as well as several enhancements that take advantage of the bright color displays of the Treo 270 and 300 models.
"Support for today's most popular email systems and a tighter integration with high-speed networks brings Treo Mail into a new class of mobile email products. When combined with Treo's keyboard and bright color display of the 270 and 300 models, the experience becomes unbeatable," said Joe Sipher, vice president of marketing for Handspring. "Treo Mail is an example of how Handspring's continued focus on details around dialing, addressing and browsing make a significant difference in how customers enjoy our products."
