Are you a Sprint user?  If so, your ears may be burning right now because we have been talking about you.  I received several big announcements that will interest many of you Sprint users, particularly those of you using a Palm Treo 700wx.  Interested?  Hit the jump to read all about it.

In their email newsletter today, Palm announced an upgrade for the popular Palm Treo 700 wx on the Sprint network.  Included in the new upgrade is:

• High-speed dial up networking (DUN).  Use your Treo smart device as a wireless modem via Bluetoothwireless  technology to your laptop for fast web access virtually anywhere.
• Advanced audio support (A2DP).  Enjoy your music in full stereo with new support for Bluetooth stereo headsets.
• Hands-free enhancements.  Drive more safely and work more efficiently. Get support for even more Bluetooth carkits and the Palm wired carkit.
• Windows Vista(TM) compatibility.  Easily sync your smart device with your Windows Vista(TM) PC using the Windows Mobile(R) Device Center.

For more information about the new version 1.2 upgrade, check out the Palm Support Center.

Also today, Sprint announced a new endeavor with Microsoft to offer location based live search features.  This feature, which was first reported by Engadget, will take user’s locations, as determined by cell tower triangulation and not GPS, into account when conducting searches.  Cell phone triangulation is, obviously, less accurate than GPS, however, this method will make the service much more widely available.  Additionally, Sprint also announced a new voice search feature which will be available on the Samsung a900 and a920, the Motorola Razr, the Sanyo 840 and the LG 550. With this feature activated, you can simply speak your search terms into your handset and then automatically connect you to the business you are trying to locate.

I have been using Live Search on my Mogul.  These new features will make this great tool even more effective. 

Head on over to the Live Search website on your device or cell phone to download it.
