Competition is good for the marketplace, and no one wants to see a 100% MS smartphone market.  If Palm can recapture some of the spark of their old days, they can be a viable competitor.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[DT]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 23rd 2007 8:22AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Palm launching Linux smartphone in October?]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/23/palm-launching-linux-smartphone-next-month/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/23/palm-launching-linux-smartphone-next-month/</guid><description><![CDATA[There's plenty of other competition though, with much more money to throw around - Nokia (Symbian), Apple, RIM, other Linux initiatives...<br><br>I think it's too late to save Palm.

No antenna & slimmer.   The heft doesn't really bother me much.   Especially if it had BT voice dialing, since I would not need to pull out the treo to use the phone.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[scyber]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 23rd 2007 5:34PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Palm launching Linux smartphone in October?]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/23/palm-launching-linux-smartphone-next-month/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/23/palm-launching-linux-smartphone-next-month/</guid><description><![CDATA[If it actually looks like a 2007-8 phone (THIN!) and is _completely_open_, I'd be very interested in this.  If it's running on Linux but closed... Not so much.  Openness is one of the most important things to me in a new phone, and also about the rarest in available phones.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[db26]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 23rd 2007 11:56AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Palm launching Linux smartphone in October?]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/23/palm-launching-linux-smartphone-next-month/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/23/palm-launching-linux-smartphone-next-month/</guid><description><![CDATA[Perhaps you guys don't care, but I do. I have gone through quite a few Palm PDAs but have never gotten into Treos because I haven't found any of them appealing enough to me - they're thick and have a square screen. I love my T|X's big screen.<br><br>I don't quite agree with this "get over it" sentiment. I love Palm's UI, old or not. It plays videos and audio well. I don't use Exchange. I love it's simplicity, with the power when I need it.<br><br>Do old apps get useless over time? Do they somehow degrade over time? I don't think so. <br><br>Quit telling us who love it do shove it.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Churn]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 23rd 2007 10:29PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
