This is my 2nd CES and have to say Palm - despite having such a small share of the market - is frequently on the minds of the editors for two years in a row now. WebOS is recognized by these brilliant gentleman as a powerful, viable operating system that deserves credit for its innovation. Josh stated that he may use a Pre as his primary or secondary line; that alone suggests those in the business of gadgets and tech reporting have recognized Palm as a major player in the smart phone (or is it "super-phone" now?) market that has a desirable device and OS.

In alphabetical order (so as not to show bias), these smartphone OSes will be the survivors for many years in the US: Android, Apple, Blackberry, WebOS and WinMo. I know there is S60 and Maemo, but until Nokia can better promote its smartphones in the US, their market share will lag behind the rest.]]>Jan 11th 2010 1:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/10/engadget-podcast-179-ces-2010-final-goodbye-01-10-2010/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/10/engadget-podcast-179-ces-2010-final-goodbye-01-10-2010/Jan 10th 2010 3:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/10/engadget-podcast-179-ces-2010-final-goodbye-01-10-2010/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/10/engadget-podcast-179-ces-2010-final-goodbye-01-10-2010/Jan 10th 2010 6:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/10/engadget-podcast-179-ces-2010-final-goodbye-01-10-2010/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/10/engadget-podcast-179-ces-2010-final-goodbye-01-10-2010/Jan 10th 2010 10:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/10/engadget-podcast-179-ces-2010-final-goodbye-01-10-2010/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/10/engadget-podcast-179-ces-2010-final-goodbye-01-10-2010/Jan 10th 2010 3:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/10/engadget-podcast-179-ces-2010-final-goodbye-01-10-2010/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/10/engadget-podcast-179-ces-2010-final-goodbye-01-10-2010/Jan 10th 2010 3:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/10/engadget-podcast-179-ces-2010-final-goodbye-01-10-2010/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/10/engadget-podcast-179-ces-2010-final-goodbye-01-10-2010/Jan 10th 2010 3:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/10/engadget-podcast-179-ces-2010-final-goodbye-01-10-2010/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/10/engadget-podcast-179-ces-2010-final-goodbye-01-10-2010/Jan 10th 2010 3:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/10/engadget-podcast-179-ces-2010-final-goodbye-01-10-2010/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/10/engadget-podcast-179-ces-2010-final-goodbye-01-10-2010/Jan 10th 2010 3:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/10/engadget-podcast-179-ces-2010-final-goodbye-01-10-2010/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/10/engadget-podcast-179-ces-2010-final-goodbye-01-10-2010/eBooks, Slates and oversized Android iPod Touches, 3D TVs.

It felt like a year of trying stuff out. Some of this tech might stick and develop into usable gadgets, but much of it will be dead-end evolutionary branches.

I am most disappointed, however, in the attitude of everyone on the podcast. As the "slates" reared their heads again, the prevailing attitude on this podcast was that there was just no way these items could be as good as what Apple is _supposedly_ developing. The entire context was spun so as to show these devices, which ACTUALLY exist and do what their developers claim, as "me, too" devices. Shame, shame, shame!

Be sure to remember that "me, too" assertion when Apple makes their announcement, because ANY overlapping function and design they release is, BY DEFINITION, "me, too".

I'd also like to see the editors give more praise to devices that are not phones. There was some terrific technology presented this week, and it got completely, and I mean COMPLETELY ignored in favor of ad nauseum discussion of cell phones. There are many of us who are interested in next generation whole-world DVR, car stereo integration, e-book readers, active shutter 3D TVs, and new laptops.]]>Jan 11th 2010 11:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/10/engadget-podcast-179-ces-2010-final-goodbye-01-10-2010/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/10/engadget-podcast-179-ces-2010-final-goodbye-01-10-2010/
