This comes the same day as Palm's stock took a beating after it posted a wider quarterly loss and gave a disappointing outlook... someone is obviously trying to limit the damage.
Still, Palm embracing WM opens up new possibilities. Let's hope they are doing it right this time (especially marketing wise). |

I am surprised no one has noticed or mentioned it earlier...
...Bill Gates, Microsoft chairman and chief software architect...! Am I the only one who thinks it's important to point out that Billy is now in bed with PALM? |

Well I thought it was going to be a "special" moment to see Gates and Palm hand-in-hand

If Palm devices are going to go the Microsoft route, I will just have to quit using PDA's, I guess, since the Linux ones are very expensive and have got very bad reviews, as far as I can tell. This really upsets me, as all my personal data is in PDA form and I would rather not have it all confined to a desktop computer, but be able to carry it with me, too. Looks like I may have to give that up.... |

You don't have to give up your existing device and software. They will always work as they do now, so even if all palms do go the M$ way (which I doubt), you don't have to throw away what you've already got.

I won't miss e-texts that much. I've had fun and read thousands of pages on Palm devices, mainly from Project Gutenberg. But there's not a single one of those texts I can't read just as comfortably on my 20-inch Princeton monitor. I just won't be carrying them around in my pocket! ![]() |
