Palm definitely needed some good news. Well, they knew of this already, but stockholders and analysts needed to hear this about a week ago. C'mon Palm, we're rootin' for you.]]>Mar 5th 2010 4:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/05/iphone-games-ported-to-webos-in-a-matter-of-days-on-tap-for-gd/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/05/iphone-games-ported-to-webos-in-a-matter-of-days-on-tap-for-gd/Mar 5th 2010 4:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/05/iphone-games-ported-to-webos-in-a-matter-of-days-on-tap-for-gd/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/05/iphone-games-ported-to-webos-in-a-matter-of-days-on-tap-for-gd/Mar 5th 2010 4:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/05/iphone-games-ported-to-webos-in-a-matter-of-days-on-tap-for-gd/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/05/iphone-games-ported-to-webos-in-a-matter-of-days-on-tap-for-gd/Mar 5th 2010 4:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/05/iphone-games-ported-to-webos-in-a-matter-of-days-on-tap-for-gd/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/05/iphone-games-ported-to-webos-in-a-matter-of-days-on-tap-for-gd/Actually they are just games that work on the iPhone but can also work on WebOS.

and what advanced complicated games those are~~~]]>Mar 5th 2010 6:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/05/iphone-games-ported-to-webos-in-a-matter-of-days-on-tap-for-gd/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/05/iphone-games-ported-to-webos-in-a-matter-of-days-on-tap-for-gd/Mar 5th 2010 6:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/05/iphone-games-ported-to-webos-in-a-matter-of-days-on-tap-for-gd/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/05/iphone-games-ported-to-webos-in-a-matter-of-days-on-tap-for-gd/
Agreed!!! I'm a big apple fan myself. But this is good news for Palm. This news is much needed but may not be enough to turn the tide of pessimism. With over a lofty 45% of the stock's float sold short, there's isn't much breathing room for this company in the near future. I should be ashamed as i have done my part in shorting this company to kingdom come since the holidays. I'm fully out so i don't feel personally responsible anymore. However, all those bears will have to cover soon and this news if it comes to fruition may help Palm race to the bottom sooner. Then let the speculation start all over again! ]]>Mar 5th 2010 6:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/05/iphone-games-ported-to-webos-in-a-matter-of-days-on-tap-for-gd/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/05/iphone-games-ported-to-webos-in-a-matter-of-days-on-tap-for-gd/it's not just OpenGL ES. They also have a lot of the same stuff; same resolution, multi-touch, motion sensor etc. Most of that "matter of days" is just recoding the Objective-C in C++. For those making enhancements, Palm has the advantage of having a base level of OpenGL ES 2, with Apple you have to worry about those still on 1.1]]>Mar 5th 2010 7:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/05/iphone-games-ported-to-webos-in-a-matter-of-days-on-tap-for-gd/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/05/iphone-games-ported-to-webos-in-a-matter-of-days-on-tap-for-gd/
Totally agree with you there. They really do have the groundwork to have monumental success this year.

No one likes to take note, but what Palm has done in only 9 months, took people like RIM, Microsoft, hell, even Apple years to accomplish.]]>Mar 5th 2010 10:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/05/iphone-games-ported-to-webos-in-a-matter-of-days-on-tap-for-gd/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/05/iphone-games-ported-to-webos-in-a-matter-of-days-on-tap-for-gd/Mar 5th 2010 4:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/05/iphone-games-ported-to-webos-in-a-matter-of-days-on-tap-for-gd/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/05/iphone-games-ported-to-webos-in-a-matter-of-days-on-tap-for-gd/Mar 5th 2010 4:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/05/iphone-games-ported-to-webos-in-a-matter-of-days-on-tap-for-gd/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/05/iphone-games-ported-to-webos-in-a-matter-of-days-on-tap-for-gd/

Why doesn't Palm make a huge deal about the fact that their Pre could be used as a wifi hotspot?

Or the fact that their OS has some awesome multitasking?

There are so many cool things that the Pre does, but Palm doesn't seem fit to tell the world about. it's like Palm almost wants to fail.

(of course all the gadget blogs are to blame too - if Google announces even the most insignificant news, they will still hype the hell out of it)]]>Mar 5th 2010 4:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/05/iphone-games-ported-to-webos-in-a-matter-of-days-on-tap-for-gd/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/05/iphone-games-ported-to-webos-in-a-matter-of-days-on-tap-for-gd/Mar 5th 2010 4:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/05/iphone-games-ported-to-webos-in-a-matter-of-days-on-tap-for-gd/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/05/iphone-games-ported-to-webos-in-a-matter-of-days-on-tap-for-gd/

Well how much does it cost with one of them separate wi-fi hotspot devices? Even if it's the same price per month (which is probably set by the carrier and not the phone maker), it still comes FREE with the Pre phone (the hardware part of it at least) and you don't have to carry a separate device. I mean it's a really cool feature built-in to have that (I believe) no other phone has, yet I have never seen a Palm commercial tout it.

Instead we get some pale-skinned ghost spout some poetic nonsense that seemed to not even have anything to do with the product.]]>Mar 5th 2010 5:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/05/iphone-games-ported-to-webos-in-a-matter-of-days-on-tap-for-gd/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/05/iphone-games-ported-to-webos-in-a-matter-of-days-on-tap-for-gd/Mar 5th 2010 6:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/05/iphone-games-ported-to-webos-in-a-matter-of-days-on-tap-for-gd/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/05/iphone-games-ported-to-webos-in-a-matter-of-days-on-tap-for-gd/Thanks!
