SUNNYVALE, Calif., Jan. 25, 2007 –- Palm, Inc. (Nasdaq: PALM) today announced availability of Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync® Update for Palm OS® devices for the Palm® Treo™ 680 and Treo 700p smartphones. Palm OS based Treo smartphones have long been able to use Exchange ActiveSync® to access Microsoft Exchange Server information using Palm’s VersaMail® email client. The new update enhances VersaMail by adding Microsoft’s Direct Push Technology, which gives users connected to an Exchange Server fast, automatic wireless updates of email, calendar and contact information.

“Extending Microsoft’s Direct Push Technology to the Palm OS based line of Treo smartphones gives business customers a powerful new choice for wireless email, security and manageability,” said Joe Fabris, director of wireless solutions, at Palm, Inc. “This combination delivers the benefits of business-class email without the cost of additional infrastructure required by other middleware-based solutions, ensuring a fast return on investment as well as a great end-user experience.”

The Exchange ActiveSync Update for Palm OS will be available Monday as a download at www.palm.com/easdownload.
