Do people even use Palm devices nowadays?]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/07/14/the-engadget-guide-to-how-palm-became-palm-again/http://www.engadget.com/2005/07/14/the-engadget-guide-to-how-palm-became-palm-again/
Seriously Sony put so much effort into the Cli?and finished with the UX-50. While not sounding good on paper (a laptop-centric PDA) it was excellent in the flesh and powerful too, beating out a lot of PocketPC stuff that's out now. So buy the designs already!]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/07/14/the-engadget-guide-to-how-palm-became-palm-again/http://www.engadget.com/2005/07/14/the-engadget-guide-to-how-palm-became-palm-again/Dec 19th 2005 12:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/07/14/the-engadget-guide-to-how-palm-became-palm-again/http://www.engadget.com/2005/07/14/the-engadget-guide-to-how-palm-became-palm-again/

It runs GEOS and can be played with quite a bit.

And as an extra bonus I can show off Palm's original logo.

"Welcome to palmOne, formerly Palm, Inc."

But then the text of the page says "... find information about Palm, Inc. (formerly palmOne, Inc.)"

I think they're confused.]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/07/14/the-engadget-guide-to-how-palm-became-palm-again/http://www.engadget.com/2005/07/14/the-engadget-guide-to-how-palm-became-palm-again/Dec 19th 2005 12:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/07/14/the-engadget-guide-to-how-palm-became-palm-again/http://www.engadget.com/2005/07/14/the-engadget-guide-to-how-palm-became-palm-again/Dec 19th 2005 12:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/07/14/the-engadget-guide-to-how-palm-became-palm-again/http://www.engadget.com/2005/07/14/the-engadget-guide-to-how-palm-became-palm-again/Dec 19th 2005 12:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/07/14/the-engadget-guide-to-how-palm-became-palm-again/http://www.engadget.com/2005/07/14/the-engadget-guide-to-how-palm-became-palm-again/Dec 19th 2005 12:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/07/14/the-engadget-guide-to-how-palm-became-palm-again/http://www.engadget.com/2005/07/14/the-engadget-guide-to-how-palm-became-palm-again/]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/07/14/the-engadget-guide-to-how-palm-became-palm-again/http://www.engadget.com/2005/07/14/the-engadget-guide-to-how-palm-became-palm-again/
Less buyouts and logo changes...more TREOS!!!]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/07/14/the-engadget-guide-to-how-palm-became-palm-again/http://www.engadget.com/2005/07/14/the-engadget-guide-to-how-palm-became-palm-again/
Its going to be interesting to see if Palm acquired or simply left to do a full
frontal face plant into a bush of cactus that is Windows Mobile. The only
possible hope they have at this point is that the Treo can hold them until they
can release something Linuxy. If Treo sales tank before they get their next REAL
OS upgrade out.....thank you for playing how to run a business into the ground.
Please deposit 50 million in cash assets to play again.]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/07/14/the-engadget-guide-to-how-palm-became-palm-again/http://www.engadget.com/2005/07/14/the-engadget-guide-to-how-palm-became-palm-again/

No, just retarded. Any company that goes through CEOs like a freaking CEO of the month club sure as hell ain't doing anything right.

*sits back with a bag of pop corn and watches the continuing death throws of Palm*

Kinda like the T-1000 being throw in that molten metal. Palm doesn't have a freaking clue what its doing.

Ooooo wonder what the next buyout is going to be? Maybe some small time flash storage manufacturer?

One day I was very excited to discover that Palm has released an official patch for the tungsten C! I quickly downloaded and installed it, making sure I follow their instructions to the letter.

Ever since the update, WIFI no longer works AT ALL. Whenever you try to connect it spouts something about bad MAC ID. Naturally, this kinda makes the whole thing unusable.

I've emailed and called Palm about this numerous times. After a $%#*load of red tape, they've acknowledged the update *MAY* cause wifi to stop working, and asked me to installed another one, which ofcourse didn't help.

Now, I *know* they have the original firmware, and I *know* they've got tools to reflash the device, but they keep saying that I will have to send the device over, on my expense ofcourse, to have it fixed.

Sorry for the long rant, but this has been one of the WORST customer service experiences ever. It's like talking to robots. You can't get much more corporate than Palm. Not to mention the fact that it seems no one over there ever heard of QA. An *official* patch that screws up the most important feature. MEH!

Buyer beware!

However, I should state that they do seem to be getting back on track with the release of the Treo 650 and LifeDrive, but they've got to catch back up on the marketshare that PPC OS devices has taken while they were napping.]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/07/14/the-engadget-guide-to-how-palm-became-palm-again/http://www.engadget.com/2005/07/14/the-engadget-guide-to-how-palm-became-palm-again/
Yeah right, they were at full steam. Don't be confused.
