It’s been a rusty nail hanging on the coffin of the Palm brand. Ever since they moved to Windows Mobile for their devices, people programming for the zombie PALM OS are in luck. It’s been announced that all the legacy code will work on WebOS. Now the only missing link in the Palm plan would be compatibility with Windows Mobile code . . .
A lot of people are bashing Palm for putting all of their eggs in Sprint’s basket by making them the exclusive carrier for the upcoming Palm Pre in the U.S. It makes sense since we keep seeing the fact that Sprint is bleeding away customers more and more each quarter. AT&T has the iPhone, Verizon has the Blackberry Storm, and up until the Palm Pre, the phone that Sprint has been pushing was the Instinct. Two smartphones vs. a dumbphone…albeit a well received dumbphone. Now, Sprint has landed them what is probably the most anticipated phone of the year. A phone that many analysts say will make or break Palm for sure, and maybe even Sprint.
Is there something that Palm knows that the rest of us don’t?
