Palm Pulls the Plug On Palm OS 300
BobB-nw writes to tell us that Palm has decided to kill their PalmOS operating system and is instead betting their future on a still mostly unknown Palm webOS. Very little is known about the new Palm webOS, but it will supposedly support HTML5 and enable a local data store so that applications can be used both online and off. All of this is rolled into a Linux framework with a message bus based on JSON. Will be interesting to see where they take it.

They don't like when you do that to them.

In case you hadn't heard, the new Palm WebOs is creating quite a buzz that Palm may finally be back...

What, you've never anthropomorphized your palm, maybe as Jemma Jameson?
More seriously, though, I like my Z22 precisely because it's a simple PDA. I have a phone, I have a camera, I have a music player, and for that matter I have a knife and a fork, and I have no desire to have all those things combined into one monster device (a FrankenBerry?)

Don't know how we all missed it, what with our daily checking of your web site.

Who's Jemma Jameson? One of the Jem'Hadar?

No, no, he was a MoTown bass player.

There's got to be a niche in there for Darl McBride when he's finished with his ride at SCO.
