Yipeeee! That's all I can say, Yippeeee. Thanks to JIMpsED in our forums for letting us know!!!
UPDATE:
I am going to keep working on this, but it seems that this upgrade is only available at this time for Vodaphone versions of the Palm Treo 750, The Treo 750v.
The title of the updater lead me to believe that it would work on my Cingular Based Treo as well since the naked 750 model was in the title. Oh well, I am sure the update will work on the Cingular version, but Palm is requesting a serial number to perform the download of the upgrade and it's not taking my serial number. These are the download choices currently...
