Smack! Smack! Smack!
Ouch! That smarts!
Verizon [VZ] has now gotten two of  Palm’s [PALM] flagship devices that Sprint [S] has been touting, although some may say unsuccessfully due to the odd way that software developers and consumers have been treated– or at least very mixed– there’s that new question as to how Verizon will position these [...]

Microsoft [MSFT] and Nokia are finalizing an agreement to augment Nokia (particularly Symbian/S60-based) phones and smart devices into becoming viable business-grade devices, or even components in functional corporate meshes.

Natali del Conte (you remember her, right?) has mentioned in today’s Loaded episode that Verizon [VZ] is preparing to receive Palm [PALM] Pre devices on their network, sometime in 2010.
Of course, this makes sense, since there is not much retooling required for Palm, since both Sprint and Verizon run their cellular networks on CDMA/EvDO type [...]

Sprint [S] has finally released a press announcement concerning the Palm [PALM] Pre launch: June 6, 2009 is the official release date. The earlier speculation about the launch date appears within the range, and it sounds like the pricing is in line with other current smartphones offered by other carriers.
A lot of people, myself included, [...]

A lot of people are rightfully questioning whether the Palm Pre truly would fit in their current workflow or lifestyles.
Not surprisingly, the answer is most likely: NO.

The Setup
Back on July 17, 2008, I had an inkling of an idea… why not make Javamancy more friendly to mobile devices that are able to access the site? The date is significant because I’d recently acquired the Palm [PALM] Centro, and as I was trying out the provided Web browser (Blazer, the NetFront variant [...]

According to the February 25, 2009 announcement from Black Duck Software in their recent report on mobile projects in 2008, the Palm OS platform remains the king of the heap with more than four times (4X) the number of total projects than the second place platform, the iPhone OS.
While Apple’s [AAPL] iPhone OS development projects [...]

Remember Palm’s [PALM] Treo Pro?
If not, you’re apparently in good company. The smartphone was initially rolled out to a very hum of fanfare, being essentially an unsubsidized GSM device.
Now, however, it comes available as an AllTel [VZ] subsidized phone, with plans to offer Sprint [S] service in the hopefully near future. Obviously, unlike the previous [...]

Yesterday, Palm [PALM] and Sprint [S] revealed more information about the Palm Pre and its service plans in a Webcast, although still no definite release date or the phone pricing (subsidized or unsub, either).
