The 2005 PalmSource Mobile Summit and DevCon was a spectacular success, and a lot of fun for all. There was an amazing level of camaraderie and friendliness among the attendees, and everyone was energized by the PalmSource management team as they laid out their strategy and roadmap. The Palm community is alive and well!
There were also numerous announcements, and with the possible exception of David Nagel's resignation for personal reasons, the good news seemed to just keep pouring in, highlighted by the announcement of the PalmOne extension of it's contract to license PalmOS into future years.
I have a renewed respect for PalmSource and my concern for the future has been replaced by a great hope for the future.
Still remaining in our own coverage is an exclusive MobileRead interview with Michael Mace (Chief Competitive Officer at PalmSource) and John Cook (Director of Product Marketing). You don't want to miss this one. I think when you see it, you'll catch the vision also! So be sure to keep your eye out for that one, coming soon.
In the meantime, be sure to take a look at the
official PalmSource DevCon blog, where you can find many additional great interviews done in San Jose for the
Computer Outlook Radio Talk Show. I've been listening to them on my Treo during my commute, and they're a lot of fun.
