First Palm goes and preloads Windows Mobile onto Palm Treo smartphones and Palm purists die a little inside. Now it looks like Vodafone has decided to tweak the heck out of the Windows Mobile interface for the upcoming launch of the Treo 500v and Windows Mobile purists are... well, we're not really sure. The streamlined interface does look like it could make some tasks simpler while others could be needlessly more complicated.Vodafone is calling the new menu system Vodafone TPP.
