Palm really needs to pull something out of their ass at CES, otherwise their ship will completely sink!]]>Dec 22nd 2008 11:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/22/palm-nabs-another-100m-from-elevation-partners-takes-it-to-the/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/22/palm-nabs-another-100m-from-elevation-partners-takes-it-to-the/

I just don't think that developers will flock back to Palm OS in enough numbers to lure people away from their iPhones, Blackberries, Androids, and WinMo's (ok maybe WinMo's :P). ]]>Dec 22nd 2008 12:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/22/palm-nabs-another-100m-from-elevation-partners-takes-it-to-the/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/22/palm-nabs-another-100m-from-elevation-partners-takes-it-to-the/

Well, next month they are debuting an all new OS on a line of all new hardware, so in theory they could start from a clean slate. Google just released Android not too long ago and they're doing alright, so there isn't any evidence showing that a brand new mobile OS has no hope of attracting developers.]]>Dec 22nd 2008 12:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/22/palm-nabs-another-100m-from-elevation-partners-takes-it-to-the/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/22/palm-nabs-another-100m-from-elevation-partners-takes-it-to-the/"next month they are debuting an all new OS on a line of all new hardware, so in theory they could start from a clean slate.

I don't think you can compare Google to Palm. Google never had a mobile OS platform so they really started from a clean slate.

Palm, on the other hand, has repeated screwed developers. Palm created an OS ("Cobalt") that not a single vendor licensed for their handheld. Palm has promised a "next generation" device for year. Palm made the idiotic decision to sell their OS to ACCESS and then pay a big fee to license it back. Palm got weeks away from shipping the Foleo and then pulled the plug. At this point no smart developer trusts Palm or believes any of the marketing crap they spew.

The difference between Google and Palm is the difference between your loving, generous parent and the lying, abusive alcoholic parent who treated you really well when you were a little kid.]]>Dec 22nd 2008 3:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/22/palm-nabs-another-100m-from-elevation-partners-takes-it-to-the/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/22/palm-nabs-another-100m-from-elevation-partners-takes-it-to-the/
Also, what's Bono's love with Palm anyways?
