In a surprisingly fast move, Palm today released a patch that should address the short battery life of their current flagship GSM smartphone, the Palm Treo 680. The Treo 680 camera patch turns off the camera when the handheld is in standby mode to save power – Palm apparently has problems with powering their devices off reliably(anyone recalls the Palm Tungsten T3’s sound patch?).
Users on PalmInfoCenter report greatly improved standby time – please install it and tell us what you think!

In (sort of) related Treo 680 news, I saw a promotion from MobiTV to try their service free for 30 days on the Treo. The promocode is TREOTV07…more details are at the URL I listed. Sweet.
The camera update really works on my Treo 680. No more battery drains after using the cam!
was there a t3 sound patch?????
Hi,
yes – it killed the interrupts that slowed the T3 down after it was powered off the first time…
Best regards
