More news from Palm's European developer conference. PalmSource has introduced its
PalmSource Installer, a new Palm OS application installation technology designed to streamline the online and over-the-air (OTA) download and install process of Palm OS applications onto Palm Powered smartphones and other wireless devices.
This sounds like a great idea for Palm software providers such as PalmGear or Handmark. Indeed, as Douglas Edwards, vice president of Handmark comments:
"PalmSource Installer is a great solution that will enable us to build on our commitment to innovative wireless solutions for Palm Powered smart mobile devices. As a Palm Powered Mobile World partner, we look forward to continued innovation on the part of PalmSource to bring solutions that generate revenue opportunities for its partners."
Handango already
offers the installer labeled as
Handango InHand to all palmOne Treo owners for free.
The public beta version of PalmSource Installer is free and available to registered Palm OS software developers in the
PalmSource Developer Zone.
