(Ed Note: Malatesta, who has used IE6 on the Sprint Treo Pro, chimes in with his thoughts on the recent question of what it means that it comes on the CDMA Treo Pro on WM 6.1 but no upgrade path will be available for others.  I have just received a review unit of the Sprint Treo Pro which may include some improvements over the original ROM - stay tuned for that. In the meantime, Mal tells us "what we need to know" and it's not what you might expect. --Dieter)

Microsoft has revealed details on the much-hyped Internet Explorer Mobile 6 (IEM6), which is also making its official debut within the next 2 weeks with the Sprint Treo Pro (no word on Alltel’s version).

To recap what we know and has happened so far with IE6, lets go down memory lane:

• March/April ’08: Adobe licenses Flash Lite to MS for future version of IEM; Announced at CTIA
• Nov. ’08: WMExperts gets screenshots of IEM6 on Treo Pro; Microsoft announces (again) IEM6 at Tech•Ed EMEA
• Dec. ’08: IEM6 gets cooked into ROMs
• Feb. ’09: An even newer version of IEM6 for WM6.5 is demoed at MWC; leaked a few days later
• March ’09: Sprint Treo Pro to be first official device with IEM6

Yes folks, that was one year in the making for what is arguable a very marginal update. Now in fairness to Microsoft, there are actually a ton of changes to the internal code of IEM6. But for the end-user, it remains to be seen if these changes are significant.
