During a conference call this morning, Palm CEO Jon Rubenstein confirmed to the press that the manufacturer of smart devices has decided to focus on webOS as its sole platform going forward, effectively halting Windows Mobile device development and sales.
Earlier this year, Rubenstein alluded to Palm manufacturing both webOS and Windows Mobile devices with no issues, with the new development confirming Palm’s new focus on its own platform rather than developing multiple device types and operating systems.
It also reiterated its commitment to webOS updates over the internet and revealed that it sold 823,000 devices in the first quarter with no distinction on device type.
Your use of “bespoke” as an adjective is interesting. What does it mean here exactly? The only dictionary definitions I can find of that word as an adjective indicate that it means either 1) something custom-made (e.g. clothes), or 2) engaged to be married.
What a great time to sign up with my Palm Pro!! lol
Palm’s excuse, not to upgrade WM 6.1=Garbage!!
Pre sales by all reports have not lived up to the hype, hence I predict Palm will be out of business in less then 2 years, max!
Thank You
Yeah. Palm needs to focus on coming out with at least 3-4 new devices in the next 2 years and keep perfecting webos. I think they have a shot at competing with iphone and android. But they have to step it up. With htc focusing on android and apple working on making iphone even better its going to be a tough road. Not to mention stop forcing people into special plans to get into one of their phones. Thats the reason I don’t have the pre. Well see what happens.
I tried the HTC Touch Pro 2 with windows mobile and the Palm OS blows it away!
