Matias Duarte moves to Palm to design Palm OS 2.0

With high expectations, Matias Duarte, the one famous for the Sidekick’s extremely friendly UI allegedly moves to Palm.
So it’s time to bring in the big guns. With Palm’s latest disappointment with the Foleo and the not-so-great worldwide response to the Centro, Palm plans to reinvent themselves once again starting with a revolutionary operating system. […]

Palm OS now available on your Nokia tablet

Yes, Palm OS Garnet will now work on your Nokia tablet, namely the N810, N800 and the N770. If you’re thinking that this is merely emulation software, you’re mistaken. Apparently, the move to position the Palm OS on other devices is actually a new strategy to revive the Palm operating system, as The Register […]

The Palm Centro

The phone industry sure knows how to screw Apple around. With Nokia belting Apple for their “anti unlocking” regime, now its Palm’s turn to issue a $99.00 smartphone into the hands of fresh graduates who can’t afford a smartphone. Presenting the Palm Centro - it’s finally come. Available very soon on a 90 day exclusivity […]

Palm Centro: Tiny step to get Palm back in the race?

The new Palm Centro looks like a hipper version of the Treo. With Palm losing market share in their business phones - and with consumer confidence dying with the announcement of the Foleo, Palm has decided to tap a new market - the youth.
The Centro is going to be offered at an insanely cheap subsidized […]

Does your smartphone need a Palm Foleo?

Palm announced the Foleo just hours ago in a live webcast. The Foleo, taken from the business “folio” accessory we carry under our armpit is supposedly the future of mobile computing. It is meant to become an addendum to the Palm Treo smartphone, but will work as well with other Windows Mobile devices and other […]

If Motorola Buys Palm

This makes perfect sense to me for the following reasons:
1. Palm has been developing on an open platform with Access and so has Motorola with their latest line of open sourced smartphones such as the Motorola Ming A1200.
2. Palm’s success has been mostly due to the Treo handheld, a platinum award winning phone. They’ve […]

What will the Palm Sherlock Specs Have?

What a fitting name for Palm’s next secret project. There have been a few predictions about what this device will have but its almost a no brainer that this device SHOULD be a smartphone as the PDA is dead - long live connectivity!
My guess is something along the lines of the following:
1. Simply an upgraded […]

Palm Treo 750v overview

Here’s a “dark side” approach to the Palm platform. With the release of the antenna-less Treo 680, Palm has kept its new commitment to churn out similar devices with a Windows Mobile operating system. It’s sorta like how The Force always has the Dark and Light sides …
The Palm Treo 750v comes with similar features […]

Palm Treo 680 too expensive in the Philippines

Just a quickie here. I know that most of my readers come from the USA but it is just so frustrating to note that the Treo 680 had been launched as the “Treo for the masses” with a lower price point and all. However, because of shipping costs and channel markups, the Treo is retailing […]

Palm Treo 680 First Impressions

Rico from The Smart PDA has his hands on a Treo 680. We’ve been on a huge debate as to what our next smartphone would be. I have my bets on the O2 Stealth which I will show off tomorrow while Rico still has his heart for the Treo 680.

The newest Treo is lighter, thinner […]
