So you know I’m interested to find out what Hawkin’s has up his sleeve for the big conference. As far as I can tell, it’s the only thing standing between Palm and imminent doom. Well the staff at Brighthand has layed out their predictions for what it is.
I gotta say, I hope they’re wrong or [...]

I was noticing something odd recently. If you read the reviews of Palm’s latest offering, the 755p, you’ll find that they are all glowing reviews. But if you read the comments on PalmInfocenter and Palm’s own blog you’ll find that there’s a lot of Palm hating going on. What’s up with that?
Here’s my thinking. Taken [...]

UPDATE 3: Some thoughts on the disconnect between the glowing reviews of the 755p and the widespread criticism of it in the blogosphere.
UPDATE 2: A random sampling of blogs posting on the 755p shows someone on the verge of jumping the Treo ship, someone who believes the 755p was an act of desperation and someone [...]

Ok, so they stopped posting about the blog itself and started posting about the product. Which is good. They posted a hand-wavey, excuse making bit about why the 700p is so late with fixes for (some of) the problems that have plagued it from the very beginning.

It’s only been a couple days, so obviously the jury’s still out, but so far the new Official Palm Blog has posted “hello world” and “wow!” It seems to me that Palm decided to have a blog as part of some PR check off list, not necessarily because they have something to say. If they [...]

Palm had a little investors meeting today where they discussed their future. They announced a new linux based platform (distinct from ALP) and a new hardware platform that is going to be used across their line, saving them a few ducats.
One way or the other, this is going to be their last hurrah. Since [...]

So, I just learned that Chatter Email is no longer under active development for my treo. Marc Blank has been hired from Palm and it seems unclear what the true longer term fate of Chatter will be. To be clear, chatter is the single reason my Treo is so awesome, without it the device would [...]

So, I was jealous of the cool sliding lock to be found on iPhones and also on this guy’s Win Mob device. I don’t know about you, but I keep my 650 in my pants pocket and I don’t have any sort of cover for it - so it happens a lot that I’ll take [...]

So there’s all kinds of talk that Palm is putting itself on the block, looking for someone to put it out of it’s misery. Seems, people are reporting that Palm while profitable now has seen the iPhone writing on the wall and wants to get out while the gettings good. To me, this sounds perfectly [...]

So the big news for palm is that they’ve released the same phone again!! This time they’ve only added 5 to the model number, which is pretty low, I think - I probably would have added a lot more maybe 60 or 72 and come up with an 810 or 822. But I guess [...]
