I keep saying that Palm devices should not be called old-looking. They're considered retro. Retro in all ways.]]>May 22nd 2008 9:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/22/palm-throws-virtual-developer-lab-doors-wide-open/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/22/palm-throws-virtual-developer-lab-doors-wide-open/May 22nd 2008 7:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/22/palm-throws-virtual-developer-lab-doors-wide-open/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/22/palm-throws-virtual-developer-lab-doors-wide-open/May 22nd 2008 7:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/22/palm-throws-virtual-developer-lab-doors-wide-open/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/22/palm-throws-virtual-developer-lab-doors-wide-open/

RIP Palm. ill have fond memories of your easy to use and capable OS back when you were a good company.]]>May 22nd 2008 9:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/22/palm-throws-virtual-developer-lab-doors-wide-open/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/22/palm-throws-virtual-developer-lab-doors-wide-open/
As long as people keep purchasing their devices they will be ok. Look at the sales of the Centro.

The average consumer does not even know what OS their phone is running neither do they care.

Also remember that Palm makes Windows Mobile based devices not just Palm OS ones.]]>May 22nd 2008 9:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/22/palm-throws-virtual-developer-lab-doors-wide-open/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/22/palm-throws-virtual-developer-lab-doors-wide-open/May 22nd 2008 9:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/22/palm-throws-virtual-developer-lab-doors-wide-open/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/22/palm-throws-virtual-developer-lab-doors-wide-open/
I wasnt expecting their new OS today John. I was expecting it 5 years ago. I was expecting their second new OS (after scrapping Cobalt) 18 months ago. They never should have spun off the OS division, especially not when their devices are so uninspired.]]>May 22nd 2008 10:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/22/palm-throws-virtual-developer-lab-doors-wide-open/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/22/palm-throws-virtual-developer-lab-doors-wide-open/May 22nd 2008 9:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/22/palm-throws-virtual-developer-lab-doors-wide-open/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/22/palm-throws-virtual-developer-lab-doors-wide-open/
Absolutely right. Remember the RAZR that when it came out sold out like hotcakes?

It was running a crappy propietary Motorola OS that most people hate and is more archaic than any smart phone OS. And regardless of that people bought it.

One think to keep in mind when analizing the Centro is that at the price point it is not competing with the iPhone or other smart phones. At $100 a pop the centro is competing with regular "dump" phones and compared to the average regular phone OS the centro is more advanced.]]>May 22nd 2008 9:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/22/palm-throws-virtual-developer-lab-doors-wide-open/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/22/palm-throws-virtual-developer-lab-doors-wide-open/
I guess Palm is one of those things you either love or hate. The only thing I wish my Treo had was EVDO. I can tether to my laptop with bluetooth and get 128 kbps. That's plenty for casual E-Mail and web surfing. I'm not trying to play Crysis with it for goodness sake...]]>May 22nd 2008 9:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/22/palm-throws-virtual-developer-lab-doors-wide-open/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/22/palm-throws-virtual-developer-lab-doors-wide-open/May 22nd 2008 9:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/22/palm-throws-virtual-developer-lab-doors-wide-open/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/22/palm-throws-virtual-developer-lab-doors-wide-open/
Besides, the Centro is way easier to use than my Nokia N73, which has a bootiful screen but is kinda annoying (it hangs/resets/slows down all the time).

Stupid phone, no cookie!

I'm sure, you don't know who Larry Kudlow is and I'm very sure he doesn't know who you are.]]>May 22nd 2008 7:08PM
