Palm's Ed Colligan confirms: no new Palm OS till end of 2008 {Engadget Mobile}
Oct 3rd 2007 1:56PM Fun fact: the Treo 750 is also called the HTC Cheetah. In addition, you'll notice the Treo 650 has a nice HTC bootloader. Palm hasn't just let HTC take over, they've willingly assisted!
(Yeah, yeah, I know Inventec or whoever makes most of the PalmOS Treos now.)
Any way, since Palm has hit a dead end on their GSM Treos and CDMA will not keep them afloat forever, I agree they're going to have to get creative with the form factors of their products. The Centro and Treo 500v are both a bit, well, fugly. Most people have been quite skeptical about their looks.
So here's what you do, Palm. Take the Centro and 500v innards and in about 6 months, shrink them. Then, hire designers that actually know what they're doing. Make sure their end product is small and looks good. I suggest large amounts of focus groups.
And then pray that you're going to be able to hang on until you finish your new OS.
Kyocera gettin' serious about buying Sanyo's mobile biz? {Engadget Mobile}
Sep 14th 2007 7:14PM One can only hope they put the Sanyo staff in charge. But know how these buyouts work, I can only assume the worst will happen.
This makes me sad on the insides. I'm sure the Sprint bigwigs probably feel somewhat the same.
The hundred gadget giveaway, grand prize round: unlocked iPhone (4GB) {Engadget Mobile}
Sep 14th 2007 7:10PM Joining the comment horde...
I suppose an unlocked iPhone'd be cool, especially because my 4G 20GB iPod's in the shop. The free part doesn't hurt either. Don't really see any downsides to this here.
