Samsung unleashes WinMo 6.5 upgrade for AT&T's Jack

It's not often that a manufacturer pushes a Windows Mobile version bump in a timely fashion, so color us impressed to see that Samsung has now released an official 6.5 upgrade for the Jack on AT&T. 6.5 is a relatively minor bump over 6.1 in the non-touch Standard world -- Professional devices are getting the lion's share of improvements -- but users will be happy to find that they're getting an updated Internet Explorer Mobile, Windows Marketplace access, and automated free connections to AT&T WiFi hotspots (anything to offload cellular strain, right?). Grab it now from Samsung's site, make sure your battery's charged, and let 'er rip.

Just out of curiosity, is the browser and the Market place access the *only* changes to WinMo 6.5 STANDARD?

Yeah pretty much those are the only changes that the user will notice. Theres been quite a bit done under the hood of the OS to make it moar stable and faster, but other than that...not much.
